RASA & Sivilian Affairs presents Celestial Seasonings: Shanti Celeste @ RASA (09 Jan)
One of the first big names to hit RASA in 2026 is Shanti Celeste, who’s making her highly-anticipated Singapore debut more than a decade after clinching DJ Mag’s Best Newcomer DJ award. The British-based, Chilean-born producer has traversed the worlds of acid-laced, squiggly house to no-frills electro in both her DJ sets and in her monthly NTS Radio transmissions. It’s a no-brainer.

Flashback by UnfilteredPresents: One Direction Hour @ Hard Rock Cafe Singapore (09 Jan)
For those still not fully over the many paths taken by One Direction post-breakup, this night of pure nostalgia will soothe your aching hearts. If that’s too much boy band sweetness for you, the title says it all: it’s going to be nothing but One Direction for only an hour. The rest of the night will be dedicated to 2000s radio – if your happiness relied solely on the 987FM charts back in the day, this is the one for you.

Kings of Bass presents Degs (Hospital Records, UK) @ MDLR (10 Jan)
The masterminds behind Kings of Bass are kicking off 2026 in a big way. Degs, the drum n’ bass MC and singer, is making his way for a late-night session with back-to-back bangers. It’s not often you’ll get to see someone adept at both the DJ decks and the mic, but Degs is not your average party starter, being an eminent member of the Hospital Records roster and a selector of the fiercest tuneage.

Thugshop presents Hiroko Yamamura @ Tuff Club (10 Jan)
A member of Chicago techno royalty, Hiroko Yamamura joins Tuff Club for a night to toughen up our local dancefloors with love. Yamamura is adept at keeping things light and pinkish – in a recent interview, the techno DJ, avid gamer and self-professed “meme queen” admitted to nursing a USB stick filled with custom edits of Blackpink songs. While her upcoming set may not appeal to K-pop lovers, her terminally-online mind will bring surprises. Purists, be warned.

Behind The Green Door presents: KENNETH F & AURORA @ Behind The Green Door (10 Jan)
If the high-rise opulence of CÉ LA VI is a bit too luxurious for your wallet – but you want some bougie beats for your Saturday night – head over to Behind The Green Door’s party led by Kenneth F, who leads the Marina Bay Sands bar’s weekly shindigs.

Meat Bar presents Bobby Beethoven @ RASA (16 Jan)
His old name (Total Freedom) suggested welcomed chaos, while his new name suggests royal musical lineage. Nonetheless, the DJ and producer was raised on punk and made his name in the legendary footwork-scuffed Fade to Mind crew. So anything goes with Bobby Beethoven, the first talent ushered in by new party collective Meat Bar, flanked by a motley crew of fearless selectors in Godkorine, DJ Waste, Failtrylagi and Charmicide.

GIVE: FACE @ MDLR (16 Jan)
At GIVE: FACE, there isn’t the choice of ‘losing face’: only the opportunity of friendly combat via soundsystem. Here, two DJs will bring their best selections for a proper face-off, where the right tunes will win the night. Open decks will also run early in the night before 11pm, in case you have your trusty USB stick in your pocket. As the party organisers put it, “every set is a main set, so do not arrive late.”

Collective Minds presents Salute @ MDLR (23 Jan)
British DJ and producer Salute has had an incredibly prolific career post-COVID. Their bass-driven escapades in Singapore have been plenty, and yet, each visit has always left a void only they can fill with the next. So, it was obvious to Collective Minds to bring them to our shores once again, with their arsenal of sprightly garage and funky house music filling up MDLR once again. Don’t miss out.

Low End 006 pres. O$P$ @ The Coup (24 Jan)
The mischief makers of O$P$ headline this month’s Low End party at the Ann Siang basement of The Coup. Their brand of Geylang crunk – read: bass music where “left-field” can mean both getai and grime – has been their calling card all these years, and bringing it to The Coup is, for lack of a better word, a coup if you’re in for a party where the underground truly thrives, not least with rapper OmarKENOBI on the mic and the Low End crew on support duties.

Charlotte de Witte @ Pasir Panjang Power Station (Dec 12)
Someone like Charlotte de Witte has graced Singapore several times in some of our finest clubs. This time, off the back of her self-titled debut album and an ever-growing star, de Witte will conquer Pasir Panjang Power Station for her biggest show here yet. The venue’s supersized industrial vibes were imbued by sunshine with sold-out shows by Jamie xx and Fred again this year. So thankfully, de Witte is here to bring it back to its grimy roots.

ADHD presents Echoes of Déjà Vu with Organ Tapes (Live) @ NOVA (Dec 19)
And for something completely different: Organ Tapes, the enigmatic Chinese singer-songwriter whose flirtations with cloud rap and hypnagogic pop makes him one of a kind, headlines a night of hazy and haunting music. Here, ADHD stands for Adults Do Hard Dance, but the line-up of acts – which also includes Bussy Temple’s howrøng, Vangoth666 and Tempolaree – aren’t going hard for this one. Instead, it’s where you’ll get to rest your weary feet and cry your heart out.

RASA x One:More presents: Goldie @ RASA (Dec 19)
Simply put: modern bass music wouldn’t be what it is without Goldie, the legendary producer, DJ and graffiti artist. At age 30, he put out his magnum opus ‘Timeless’ that sounds just like he once promised today. Get a heaping dose of drum n’ bass, jungle, breakbeat and more skull-rattling sonics on this night, which will be anchored by local legends KIAT (also an artist of Goldie’s label Metalheadz) and NEZ.

Our Fireworks: Thugshop’s NYE @ Headquarters (Dec 31)

With their location at Boat Quay, you’ll get to see the fireworks as they pop off at midnight – also, there’s music. Lots of it, with their best local selectors at the ready.

RASA NYE: Gather Together @ RASA (Dec 31)
For another NYE option, RASA is packing their venue with some staggering names. For one, techno maverick Barker, whose 2025 techno odyssey Stochastic Drift has ended up on several best-of lists. The producer returns for another live performance with Kin Leonn, where ambient excursions meet serious techno muscle. Then, there’s Darren Emerson – formerly of Underworld, and a progressive house veteran, the DJ will set the right tone for the new year with his uplifting selections.

Grace Kim @ Behind the Green Door (Nov 1)
DJ Grace Kim
Halloween falls on a Friday this year, so that means the forthcoming weekend will be just as devilish. Take Behind the Green Door’s Saturday shindig headlined by DJ Grace Kim: its dress code demands you come in your best “gothic glamour” or “couture villain”. Coupled with some fine tech house and finer cocktails, there wouldn’t be anything in town both as swanky and spooky.

And she won’t be coming alone: flanking the Singaporean indie royalty will be celebrated author Amanda Lee Koe and CHVRCHES drummer Jonny Scott.

THE MISMATCH RASADENCY presents HOUSE UR HEAD @ RASA (Oct 11)
House is where the groove is. But what is house? To the folks at The Mismatch Rasadency, house music came from clubs where “sound was sanctuary and dancefloors meant freedom.” On this night at RASA, expect the spirit of classic Chicago house, a sound cultivated by the likes of the late Frankie Knuckles, along with the resplendence of Studio 54 and the tongue-in-cheek elitism that may very well be what’s keeping the authenticity of house alive, all these decades.

Cleaning Day! @ Aliwal Arts Centre (Oct 19)
Sure, we’re not quite at the finish line of 2025 yet. But a good and thorough spring cleaning is never a bad thing. At Cleaning Day!, there’s an art fair, a bunch of workshops, fresh coffee and a full day of performances that’ll make you feel brand new. Out of the line-up of music acts, we highly recommend the frenetic breakcore antics of deførmed along with the sweaty moshpits that will follow Bellied Star, HARU and Nosedive, the latter two standouts from a new wave of exciting Asian shoegaze.

The founders of party night Low End are serious about their craft: “This is no trend-chasing night.
Panopticons will be smashed and defied: no eyes in the sky, no gaze to perform for.” We think they’re talking about phones.
