The Used – “I Come Alive”
by JUICE on Tuesday, 10th January 2012It’s been a little while since we heard from post-hardcore outfit The Used but wahey, the boys are back with a new single in tow called “I Come Alive”. Taken off their long-awaited forthcoming LP Vulnerable, the track tames frontman Bert McCracken’s beast a little bit and chooses instead to show off his underrated range. There’s a lot of interesting new things going on instrumentally (we never thought we’d hear The Used use a xylophone) but it all works in context. That sweat-dripping, heavy-hitting power still remains, but it’s kind of neat to see the boys replace a bit of raucous with a dose borderline creepy atmospherics. The new album drops at the end of March so keep a look out!
Happy Socks x Terry Richardson
by JUICE on Saturday, 31st December 2011
As if these socks could get any happier, here’s Terry Richardson to widen that grin on our faces (if only to match the one on his). The lensman is helming the Swedish label’s latest campaign for its Chapter #FOUR collection, which sees personalities like Sky Ferreira and Action Bronson donning those socks in a variety of creative ways. Happy Socks as a bikini top, a hair bow and a bow tie? Cute and clever!
Happy Socks are available at ACTUALLY…, 29A Seah Street.
Cinema Of The Mind: In Each Hand A Cutlass
by JUICE on Sunday, 22nd January 2012
In Each Hand A Cutlass (JUICE’s Best Band of 2011) are known for their powerful live shows and sprawling instrumentation, but this time, Daniel Sassoon and company mellow down a notch for a special showcase nestled within The Pigeonhole’s cozy nest. The post-rock and prog pirates will be performing a stripped-down and intimate set featuring songs taken off their remarkable debut record A Universe Made of Strings and we can’t wait to see a softer side to the butt-kicking crew.
In Each Hand A Cutlass nests at The Pigeonhole on Tuesday 24 January.
Chat: Turmspringer
by JUICE on Monday, 9th January 2012
Berlin can change your life, or at least that’s what happened to the boys behind Turmspringer. While Tim Brüggemann was brought up in the minimal underground, his production partner Robert Galic was initially a London boy with a renowned discography of jazzanova. And when Robert headed to Germany to finish his latest nu-jazz work, it would turn out to be his last endevaour within that genre. The Berlin scene enveloped him after chance encounter with Tim and a new soulfully funky techno duo was conceived. We spoke to Robert prior to their Berlin Meets Singapore set at Azzura about the influence of the city on their music.
How did you meet Tim and what made you decide to make music together?
I was still living in London and was invited to play in Berlin for a typical ‘90s backyard party. There I met Tim behind the turntables – hyper and totally hot to play. Instead of fighting about the next slot, we decided to play together back-to-back. This was the first touch… with more to follow.
To someone who hasn’t heard Turmspringer before, how would you describe your music?
Ass shakin’ mind blowin’ sh*t. (Laughs)
How much of an impact did the Berlin scene have on you both?
A lot. When I decided to move from London to Berlin, my idea was to finish there my album on Sonar Kollektiv. During this time I was regularly going out. Berlin’s best parties happened in the underground scene and the music that was typically played was techno and minimal. I was so electrified by this music; it was not easy finishing a nu jazz album at the same time… that’s for sure. Berlin changed everything for me!
Looking forward to it! And where do you see yourselves in five years?
Surrounded by nice people at a nice place with great music on a different planet.

Rapture of the Deep and 28Black are the organisers of the Berlin Meets Singapore parties. And that only makes sense, since 28Black stands for high quality and lifestyle – the same ideals and visions that Rapture of the Deep is bringing to the table. Together, they aim to bring good music to Singapore and wahey, everyone wins!
