Happening in Tanjong Pagar on 8 June, and featuring techno icon KiNK and some of Singapore’s best local DJs, this birthday bash is calling out to you
Some clubs in Singapore are all style and no substance, and you then have nightspots that are devoted to dishing out underground dance music – day in, day out. For many punters in the local music scene, that one sanctuary is Headquarters by The Council. And the folks behind it? They’re having their first birthday, so bust out the candles. No sparklers, please.
For the last 365 days, The Council has thrown all sorts of party shenanigans – from their techno marathons at their HQ headquarters at Boat Quay, to their pop-up Plastik Dreams experiences, and even boogies on a Mississippi riverboat. And if you need to read more about The Council’s significance in building the local dance scene, check out our feature. But enough reminiscing; it’s time to reveal something big.
Headlining this hatchday celebration on 8 June is none other than Bulgaria’s KiNK, one of the circuit’s best live techno acts – if you wanna see a real live DJ, get schooled by the interactive antics of this legend, often multi-tasking on drum machines, turntables, and all sorts of gadgetry. And he’ll be supported by some of Singapore’s finest, including Darker Than Wax co-founder and saxophonist extraordinaire, Kaye; and The Council’s own residents, Ulysses, Julien Brochard and CATS ON CRACK.
The venue is still hush-hush for now, but a lil’ kitty has told me that it’s not gonna be in Headquarters by The Council, but in a warehouse in the Tanjong Pagar Distripark. I like how this sounds already.
The Council Anniversary feat. KiNK, 8 June, 8pm-3am, #03-03, 39 Keppel Road, Singapore 089065. More information and tickets available at this website.
