What inspired Friday the 13th: Hideout?
The [event organisers] A-Team wanted to host an event that is unlike anything that has ever been done before. We wanted to cater to party goers in Singapore who are looking for an underground party with a different sound and feel, so we created a pop-up club in a secret location.
We understand that The A-Team is a “supergroup” comprising six event organizers, Inception Entertainment, French Bastard, Kala Club, Osborne Holdings, Social Nomad and The Key Card. Tell us more about your unique collaboration and the process—who handles what?
This collaboration was made possible by [director of Inception Entertainment] Desmond Choo, who had a vision of uniting who he feels are influential event organizers in Singapore. He felt that we should combine our efforts and strengths to create a mega party that will be the talk of town, instead of focusing on small-scale projects. While it is quite difficult to explain exactly what our roles are, we have been able to work together and divide tasks in such a way that all of us can do what we enjoy and are good at.
What are you most excited about?
Personally, I am very excited about working with such talented event organizers. I truly believe that with all our strengths combined, we can create parties that will have the town buzzing.
What sort of crowd are you expecting?
I think that the people who turn up at our event will be those looking for something that is not mainstream. Our crowd will follow us because they like the music line-ups and different experiences that we offer.
What can partygoers expect?
A well-organized event with amazing beats, entertainment, great drink offers and lots of fantastic people.
What else do you have up your sleeves?
We have quite a few things in the pipeline, individually and collectively. For example KalaClub and Social Nomad are running the first ever Bollywood party in Pangaea on Dec 19, which we are very excited about! As for the A-Team, we will reveal our next event by the end of the year.
Friday the 13th: Hideout takes place on Dec 13 at a top-secret location which will only be revealed on the day of the event. $35-$45 from Peatix.
