Singapore is no stranger to block parties, but we can’t help but notice the sheer abundance and diversity of outdoor dance/drinking parties taking place this month, from daytime poolside affairs to German DJ art gallery shin digs to a full-on electro picnic at Fort Canning. Here are the ones to watch.
Club Berlin: Electronic Music and Photography (Mar 4)
Photography gallery DECK is hosting Club Berlin, an exhibition about the ’90s electronic music scene from Mar 5-Apr 3 with the Goethe Institut, but we’re particularly excited about the opening night afterparty. The infamous bouncer of Berlin’s Berghain nightclub Sven Marquardt will be there, along with DJs like Debbie Chia and EJ Missy. $15-20, 6pm.
LIGHT Pool Party (Mar 5)
Sofitel So’s LIGHT Pool Party is back with a line-up that’s big on soul, RnB, funk and hip-hop. DJs Titus, Brendon P., Louis Baduge and Oliver Osborne will feature with drink specials available through the day. $10, 2-11pm.
