It would have been right to set you on fire.
Whatever that’s left of you.
To extinguish your liquid lies,
your hardened cries.
The artificial true colours stains your tongue.
How much pain can you take,
before you give?
How many times do you need to die,
before you live?
To love, again.

Eastern aphrodisiacs for Valentine’s Day
[Time Out Singapore] Your sexual prowess comes from what you drink. Zul Andra researches several outlandish Asian preparations that could help men rise to the occasion on V-Day.
Interview: SBTRKT
Like unassuming drops from a drizzle, Aaron Jerome’s SBTRKT tidal wave rise in 2011 ensued from his seminal singles and remixes leading to an eponymous album that has been highly praised by artists and the media alike. There’s no other way to put a specific genre tag on his tracks other than knowing that it is a SBTRKT piece. Emotive, minimal and marrying pop sensibilities with distinctively melodic flavours, the sound of the masked crusader has been a much needed breakthrough from electronic music’s years of stagnancy.
I spoke to SBTRKT after his first ever South East Asian gig at Home Club, Singapore where he reveals the ingenuity behind the mask, the division between artist and body, Deadmau5’s brand and Thom Yorke’s interactiveness.
Interview: Low Kay Hwa
[Time Out Singapore] The 26-year-old Singaporean novelist Low Kay Hwa had a rocky start in the publishing world. First he was duped into paying over $6,000 to get his launch book Destiny’s Cries published, after which only five out of 1,000 copies were sold. Then he received criticism for what detractors saw as over-simplified writing and cheesy plots. Now, with ten books published, 33,000 copies sold to date, over 110,000 Facebook fans and his own publishing firm to boot, Low is truly paving his own destiny.

We popped the cork, swirled those glasses and sipped the white and reds at some of the best wine bars around.
