Interview with Poptart, your swashbuckling indie DJ collective
It’s been 7 years and counting of dance floor domination, headbanging, karaoke-ing and sweaty goodness by indie DJ collective Poptart, and 2 months since they moved into their new home, Velvet Underground Dance. We check in with the ever quirky trio Weelikeme, Jah & Jinmart on how the housewarming parties have been. Did you ever think Poptart would get this big? Wee: All we wanted in the beginning was to share the music with our friends and their friends. We would be happy with a couple of smiling faces at the end of the night. We never expected it to be so well-received. Even today, we’re still so open-jawed wide-eyed surprised at the turn out…
OM NOM NOM
Hello 2012! Amongst our many resolutions, which yes, included a promise to ourselves to be kinder to our bodies, we also wanted to get out more and try new things- coffees, teas, brunch and all that jazz. As part of an ad hoc feature on the cafes we love, here are our picks for January, the month of hope and new beginnings. Read our list for December here. 1. Much lauded for their homeliness and good vibes, indie retreat The Pigeonhole curates an unorthodox collection of second-hand and rare books sourced from around the world, as well as a varied selection of hard-to-find whiskey, wine and ciders. Part underground haven, part art dungeon, The Pigeonhole…

Zouk’s Top 11 Tracks of 2011
So, here we are, at the end of 2011. It’s been one crazy ride, full of ups and downs but there’s always been a reason to party, no matter what. Some highlights of the year for us included the 4-day festivities to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Zouk and all the 20/20 collaborations which ensued, the 11th Mighty edition of ZoukOut and the “Zouk Hearts Japan” Charity special we threw to support the victims of the Japan crisis in which so many of our local heavyweights as well as a certain Erlend Øye (from The Whitest Boy Alive and Kings of Convenience fame) selflessly got together and gave their time to raise funds for our…
7 Questions with Yifang
As we bid farewell to 2011, we’re also saying goodbye to one of our own! We’ll miss you loads Yi Fang! Introduce yourself. Hello! I’m currently working with Zouk as the Assistant Business Development & Events Manager. I think I’m part Jekyll & part Hyde on the job usually… But more often Jekyll than Hyde unless provoked!

Occasionally, we also deal with panic attacks due to missing table cloths that are meant for reception tables (yes, they go mysteriously…

ZoukOut 2011 Fashion Spotting
If you were at ZoukOut 2011, it’s most likely you got hopelessly- but delightfully- lost in the swarm of hotties on the white sands. Admittedly, it’s tough looking good on the beach, with the salty breeze leaving your hair in a mess and your skin high and dry; we don’t know how these kids do it!
People-Watching: EDEN
If you’ve been in the scene long enough, you’ve probably heard of Eden. The 24-year-old musical marvel started off as a photographer before he quickly fell into the seductive world of DJing. Currently studying Fashion Photography at the London College of Fashion (whilst juggling numerous jobs, projects, gigs and parties), the bambi-eyed boy wonder found some time to talk to us about what’s been going on in London, what he’s been working on, shoot some pictures for us, and create this lush mix for the Zouk Blog, which even made it to Pulse Radio‘s recommended listening. Wow. Guest mix for zoukclub.com/blog/ by _Eden_ Tracklisting: Addison Groove – Minutes Of Funk T-Williams – Go In Maurice…
