JUICE 11th Anniversary Party

We're turning 11 this year and just so you remember, we'll be throwing a party to mark it good. Since the number 11 carries all sorts of spiritual connotations, we'll be fixing up some metaphysical action to pave the way into the positive unknown. On 20 November at Zouk, expect to sample some supernatural musical vibrations, partake in magical party favours, and above all, feel the mystic heat of our birthday candles.

The JUICE 11th Anniversary Party happens 20 November, from 9 to 11.30pm at Zouk. Complimentary drinks are on Barcardi Superior (available from 8pm, while stocks last).

Fred Perry 100 Year Bash

If Frederick John Perry were alive today to see the fruits of his labour, he'd be pretty stoked. In its 100 years, his eponymous label has scaled the heights of street/high fashion to emerge on a clean slate of prep and poise. And hey, everyone loves them a bit of Fred Perry.

This year marks the centennial birth of Frederick John Perry and since he's not around, we'll celebrate on his behalf. The Fred Perry 100 Year Bash kicks off big-time on 5 November to the live sounds of electronic shoegazers Kyte. Sexy! Also, the party will be unveiling Fred Perry's 100 Year Outfit, as designed by Raf Simons, and the limited edition Fred Perry Singapore Tattoo Artist Collection, a series of four polo tees by four of our finest tattoo artists.

The kind people of Fred Perry would love for your to be at that 100 Year Bash, so they're giving away 10 pairs of shiny invites to some lucky people. To stand your chance to win a pair, simply email grabs@juice.com.sg with your name, IC and contact numbers, naming us Fred Perry's founder. Do so before 3 November, kids. Good luck!

The Fred Perry 100 Year Bash happens on Thursday, 5 November at the Red Dot Design Museum, from 8 to 11pm.

Home Reinvented pres. Lo-fi feat. One Man Party

Do you like to party? Steve Slingeneyer does, even if he's just the one man. When he's not hitting the drums for the almighty Soulwax, this fella turns up at everyone's party with his record bag full of rave, disco and electro (alcohol sold separately). Home Club will be his next stop and very likely, he'll be blowing the roof off with some mad-ass mixing and down-&-dirty dancing. And that, is how this one man parties.

One Man Party comes to our Home on 15 August.

Readyset Glo with Brodinski

Wahey! It's National Day and if you'd like to party hard, there's always Readyset Glo.

A-trak, Annie Mac and Tommie Sunshine all approve of this. And you probably will too.

Brodinski hits the Readyset Glo decks tonight. See you there.

The White Rabbit 1st Anniversary feat. Darshan Jesrani (Metro Area)

Metro Area is the brainchild of Darshan Jesrani and Morgan Geist. Together, these deck vets are bringing back the old skooled soul of club classics, as well as the minimalism of modern dance forms. This weekend, half of Metro Area, namely Darshan Jesrani, will be headed into town to tear up The White Rabbit's decks. Things like r&b, disco and boogie will be on the menu, and since it's the Rabbit's first-ever birthday, so will cake, candles and cocktails. Come make nice.

The White Rabbit 1st Anniversary Feat. Darshan Jesrani will take place on 1 August at The White Rabbit.

VUtopia With Verbal (Teriyaki Boyz)

Because you still crave the rave, Verbal is heading down from Tokyo to show you a very good one. The guy's better known as an integral part of Teriyaki Boyz, for which he's been loved by people like Kanye and Pharrell. But as you can tell from his eyewear, Verbal's also pretty partial to all that's nu in rave and electro. And he'll be giving you some of that with a solo DJ set for tomorrow's VUtopia, Velvet Underground's new sexy night. It will be neon bright so come in your best shutter shades.

VUtopia with Verbal happens on 30 July at Velvet Underground.
