A big shiny box (OK, not that shiny) popped up on my desk one fine afternoon. On it reads: Open Up. Feel The Love. So open it I did and out spilled the contents--a kaleidoscope, magnet, a pack of mints, handkerchief, bottled water and a glo-stick. Turns out they're actually party accessories that SingTel came up with for the beach party this weekend. Dancing to wild abandon won't be the only thing on the cards come Saturday. Zouk and its partners have conjured up an enticing range of 'exclusive' merchandise for you to carry around and bring home.

So the nominees of the 2011 edition of the Grammy's have been recently announced and all I've got to say (for the dance music categories) is WTH! La Roux? Robyn! Rihanna?! Dance music critics are sure to be hitting their heads on the wall with this year's selections. Over the years, one can't help but notice the Grammy's preference to mainstream fare. Well, just look at this year's selections for Best Dance Recording: 
Best Dance Recording
For solo, duo, group or collaborative performances. Vocal or Instrumental. Singles or tracks only.

When it comes to mixed CDs, nothing beats the Fabric and Fabriclive series (not to mention Renaissance's and Defected's In the House). Without fail, whenever a new release is out, I'll make a beeline to the record store to cop a copy.

We at I-S don't do much flavored vodka. Yup, we prefer the pure stuff, straight up. So being discerning tipplers (Read: Liquor Snobs), we were curious about the new pear-flavored vodka that premium French label Grey Goose was launching at Naumi Hotel last night.
