Dualtone Performing At Mosaic 2011


Mosaic 2011 is shaping to be an interesting this year with a melting pot of international and local artistes being part of this annual event where both Lunarin and Aphex Twin stand shoulder to shoulder and administering their perception of the alternative. Also added to the mix this year are local band Dualtone and the duo of Iva Sadon and Effendi are tweaking the mood sensors at the Esplanade to deliver a soul enriching performance. Going from strength to strength and making appearances at Baybeats and Outbreed, being at Mosaic represents another feather in their cap. As a bonus, their show will have 2 sets on 18 March (8-8:40 and 9-9:30) so be there for both and be prepared to be blown away!

EML presents The New Rage: Asia Is The New Black



An idea that was first mentioned in late 2010 is finally here as the energetic folks from the Electronic Music Lab are back once more with their newest project titled The New Rage: Asia Is The New Black. Taking place at the NUS Centre Of The Arts UCC Function Room 2 on March 18 & 19 at 8pm, Asia Is The New Black zooms into the musical progression of the continent and showcases the influences of Asian music that has worked its way into many musical genres of today, something that was unheard of back in the past. Through the use of various media and the surprise element the folks in EML are capable of, Asia Is The New Black brings the best of both worlds together with the experience gained being one its own kind. Tickets are at $10 and you can find out more about the event at their website (http://www.eml.org.sg) or through the facebook event page (http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=132926063436897)
