Space Ibiza x Zouk Singapore!
In 2011, djB, one of Zouk’s resident DJs, made his debut at Space Ibiza—ranked as no. 1 Club in the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs in the World 2012. Recognized as one of the rare talents and instrumental in pushing the House sound in Singapore and Asia, djB has no doubt made a name for himself. Last week, he returned to Spain for more—this time with DJ Eclipse, one of the freshest faces on the block. Eclipse also celebrates great success after being voted best DJ in several specialized publications in Singapore and having released a mixed album compilation with Universal Music just this March.

Read on as we get personal with this quirky character and don’t forget to come down and show some love! You used to be Zouk’s Senior Graphic Designer. How does it feel returning as a DJ instead?

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…
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!

Am either at my desk answering event and sponsorship enquiries, crafting partnership proposals, assisting with marketing ideas, or am at the club conducting site recces with event clients. Occasionally, we also deal with panic attacks due to missing table cloths that are meant for reception tables (yes, they go mysteriously…
