November 2024

ROUGHLY TWO YEARS ON SINCE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, FOLKS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE ARE STILL TAKING IT UPON THEMSELVES TO THROW THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT PARTIES WITH MORE EXPERIMENTAL SOUNDS, AND MORE INTENTIONAL AND INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCES THAT INJECT A ROUSING UNDERGROUND ENERGY TO SINGAPORE NIGHTLIFE. KENG YANG SHUEN TURNS THE SPOTLIGHT ON FOUR OF THE NEWEST ORGANISERS ON THE SCENE AND TELLS YOU WHY YOU SHOULD HIT THEIR PARTIES.

THE NIGHTS

ADULTS DO HARD DANCE

STARTED: June 2023, with three solo parties to date, staged at Cherry Discotheque, Iki by Ikigai and the now‑defunct Club Hell.

imageWHO’S BEHIND IT: The 29‑year‑old visual and art director Rachelle Hristenko, and her partner who wishes to remain anonymous.

imageTHE VIBES: Perhaps it’s got to do with Hristenko’s background (girl studied design and visual communications at the Glasgow School of Art, and has worked in the creative department of some of Singapore’s most successful and fashion‑forward clubs), but a party by Adults Do Hard Dance – or ADHD for short – is always hyper‑fun and fashionable.

imageSee its fluoro‑accented event flyers, which are typically decorated with avatar motifs that look right out of Y2K video games, for example. Or its Gen Z crowd that clearly loves to dress up.

imageMeanwhile, the DJs booked have been unexpected and hands down solid: from the genre‑bending Danish‑Uruguayan artiste DJ g2g to some of the most exciting (and similarly stylish) next‑gen selectors from Singapore, including Godkorine, Xaetherx and New Masculine.

Why SO ALL Cute?

CALL IT ADORABLE ANARCHY OR SOFT-POWER SUBVERSION, BUT THE EMBRACE OF CUTE CULTURE TODAY, ESPECIALLY AMONG GEN ZERS, IS WELL WORTH LOOKING AT BEYOND JUST ITS AESTHETICS. SURE, ON THE SURFACE, IT'S ALL PLUSHIES, PASTEL PALETTES AND STICKER OVERLOAD. DIG A LITTLE DEEPER THOUGH AND YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING A LOT MORE POWERFUL HAPPENING.
