The Definitive Rat Pack was a show that was set to impress. On a cool Tuesday night, the Grand Ballroom of One Farrer Hotel & Spa was buzzing with the hum of excited concertgoers, eager to have their fill of the iconic trio that is Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davies Junior. Starring Stephen Triffitt, Mark Adams and George Daniel Long, they put up a show that was at once wistful as it was nostalgic, with a lively repertoire that brought the audience back to the romance, jolliness and charisma of the sixties. Ushered into the ballroom, one was…

The largest EDM festival is also testament to the fact that music always has a way of bonding people from all walks of life despite our language barriers and the colours of our skin: in a span of just two days, friendships were forged, unforgettable experiences were made, and it was one heck of a party for most of us. Upon entering the festival grounds at Bayfront Avenue,…

2016 brought us La La Land and the wonders of Ryan Gosling; with 2017 came The Greatest Showman, and the chance to rewrite the stars. 2018 is no exception, with a twist – a chance for us to revisit the charm and gentility of old world jazz. Think the swish of deep red curtains unravelling, double-breasted suits and bowties, and the lingering, sultry tones of classical jazz… What better way to bring back the sixties than through a night of Sinatra and Sammy? Let The Definitive Rat Pack bring you back to the dip and swing of a gentler time,…

Held at the Bayfront Avenue area near Marina Bay Sands last weekend, Ultra Music Festival 2018 saw top DJs Afrojack, DJ Snake, Steve Angello, and more whipping out mixes after mixes, filling the atmospheric mood with electrifying beats and a sense of escapism. Like previous Ultra editions, three different stages were set up to cater to a large variety of EDM sub-genres: the Resistance stage is where deep house lovers call home; the Worldwide stage – replacing the “Live Stage” last year and making its debut from Ultra Miami – became the place to be for an authentic rave party,…

Kehlani made her highly-anticipated Singapore debut last Wednesday on 23 May for the very first time. Organised by LAMC Productions, the concert was held at Zepp@Bigbox, which is an indoor venue that was air-conditioned and made for a perfect stomping ground to contain the excitement exuded from every single attendee. The crowd consisted mostly of millennials and young adults, who seemed to be mostly between 15 to 25 years of age, with some of them who are just slightly older than that. As was heard through the grapevine (that was the crowd), some had stood in line since 10 in…
