JUICE 11th Anniversary Party

noreply@blogger.com (JUICE) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:33:00 +0000

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

noreply@blogger.com (JUICE) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:23:00 +0000

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 Club's Lo-Fi night marks a good year of music and madness with a big ol' birthday party, starring special guest Mumdance. This UK boi has been making noise of the electronic variety and attacking the bass big time, with his productions and remixes riding high on the airwaves. Diplo loves him enough to be housing him under Mad Decent and Brodinski is just dying to get behind his decks. All in all, you're in for a treat this Saturday.

Mumdance descends on Home Club on 12 September. To score yourself a pair of passes to this event, drop a line at grabs@juice.com.sg with your name, IC and contact numbers, naming us a Lo-Fi resident DJ. Do so before 10 September.

adidas ObyO F/W '09

noreply@blogger.com (JUICE) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:43:00 +0000

Last season, adidas Originals handed over their drawing boards to a bunch of visionaries and allowed them free reign o'er their own capsule collections. Thus: adidas Originals By Originals, and they're at it again for F/W '09. First up, style child Jeremy Scott turns up with more colours than rainbows, trades on kinky animal spots and stripes, and unleashes some pretty wild silhouettes.

Street kingpin Kazuki heads up a signature stripped back, dust-coloured collection that's perfected with workman-like details, slim cuts and an edgy endnote of "Zivil Courage". It literally screams (or whispers) minimal chic.

A new addition to ObyO, the David Beckham x James Bond collection mixes up classic American sportswear with luxury materials, so you may look alternately gruff like Beckham and suave like Bond, but always like the big man you are.

adidas ObyO by Kazuki will be available at Surrender, 119 Devonshire Road, L2, from tomorrow onwards. The Jeremy Scott and David Beckham x James Bond collections will be exclusive to the adidas Originals Concept Store at Pacific Plaza, #01-09.

Brazilian star playa (and Naomi Campbell's fave), DJ Felipe Venancio, headlines the event with the sound of dance, while sets of capoiera, fire dances, batucada and bossa nova fill in the gaps. Way to paint the town green and yellow, y'all!

Surface To Air x Solve Sundsbo

noreply@blogger.com (JUICE) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 10:23:00 +0000

The creative cats at Surface To Air have just touched hands with lens man, Solve Sundsbo, for another for their crisp collabs. This capsule collection sees the photographer's vibrantly and weirdly textural work splashed over tops, dresses and bags. Nice. Check it for a geometric and bizarre grace.

Nirvana's 20-Year-Old Bleach

noreply@blogger.com (JUICE) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 02:49:00 +0000

You know these guys, just as you should know about their sludge-y debut, Bleach - chaotically recorded in 1989 in 30 hours for only $606, gifting us grunge buttons like "Love Buzz", "Negative Creep" and "Blew". Since it's turning 20 this year, its mother Sub Pop is giving it the full reissue treatment. Bleach: Deluxe Edition will come re-mastered, in sweet-ass packaging (Double LP! White vinyl! 48-page booklet!) and bunched with a raw and rare live performance from 1990 at Pine Street Theatre in Portland, Oregon. Relive it.

Simian Mobile Disco - Temporary Pleasure

noreply@blogger.com (JUICE) — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 05:42:00 +0000

Somewhere between pain and pleasure lies Temporary Pleasure, a concept Simian Mobile Disco are exploiting to the max on their sophomore album. This one digs deep down into James and Jas' tech house and electro roots to emerge with more things for the dance floor. Cue:

Temporary Pleasure is at all good record stores.
