Who doesn't like behind-the-scenes videos? Especially when they're about some of the top electronic dance music minds ever to grace the ones-and-twos. Well, one of my favorite producers/DJs Luca Venezia aka Drop The Lime shares with us some of the toys that made the jock responsible for some of the sickest permutations of dubstep, rockabilly, grime, fidget and Chicago-house tunes.

Last weekend's nightlife parties were off the hook with electro queen Peaches rocking the floor at Home Club on Friday while Canadian noise-niks Crystal Castles tore Zouk down despite Alice Glass spraining her ankle (she performed on stage with a crutch).
Kevin and Gino together with Soul Kool get Monday off to a good start from 8-9pm at The Boiler Room, and it's Happy Hour as well.

Enjoy.

In Singapore, possibly the only way for an establishment be it a bar, restaurant or boutique to stand out from the crowd is to tout yourself to being the best, the highest, the longest and other superlatives we can think of. Most of the time, some of these places fall short.
