Free Download: Gotye feat. Kimbra “Somebody That I Used To Know (Owsey Remix)”
Belgian born-Australian raised Wouter De Backer aka Goyte has been garnering prominence of late with his track “Somebody I Used To Know” taken from his third studio album Making Mirrors.
His song, reminiscing on a past love, is the longest running no.1 song in Australia, since Savage Garden’s “Truly Madly Deeply” (remember that song?), staying 8 weeks at pole position.
Accompanied by New Zealand singer-songwriter Kimbra, the track also made its way to no.26 on Billboard Hot 100 Charts, Gossip Girl, 90210, Jimmy Kimmel’s Show and played as an unofficial anthem around festival grounds at last year’s Splendour In The Grass.
Irish DJ-producer Owsey lends his ambient and chillout remixing prowess on this track, ridding pop ditties and extrapolating on the haunting elements, particularly on Goyte and Kimbra’s vocals. The enigmatic producer has a portfolio of acclaimed remixes with the likes of Above & Beyond, Ellie Goulding and Johan Reinhold.

The remix is also featured in Volmax’s VI mix.
News: Adele Gets Cut Off During Acceptance Speech, Shows Middle Finger At The Brit Awards

After winning six Grammys, the charming and bubbly Adele was visibly emotional when she picked up a Brit Award for Album of the Year. Halfway through her acceptance speech, the 23-year-old got even more emotional, this time on the negative end, when host James Corden interrupted her to introduce Blur.
With the crowd booing at what looks like the show producer lack of respect and Corden picking up scapegoat duties, Adele showed the middle finger “to the suits”.
Well done Adele, your genuine music style and attitude is what pop-culture is missing these days.

Top 10 Things to do This Week (Feb 20-26)
Judas Priest “Epitaph” Farewell World Tour with Lamb of God
Fort Canning Park l $140-250 from Sistic
Feb 20, 7pm
The heavy metal legends take to the stage at Fort Canning for this double-bill. A momentous event especially for Judas Priest fans as this will be the last time they will be on tour.
Bar Review: Tree
[Time Out Singapore] We got lost trying to find Tree, and no wonder – the signage is way above eye level on the pillar next to the establishment’s black-matted front, and the windows are so small you wouldn’t realise a restaurant and bar reside within. There are two entrances to the establishment – it’s the red door you want to open for the bar.
Blog: Tonight I Will Stroll Through Hell With Judas Priest & Lamb of God
It has been awhile since I’ve been to a metal gig. The last time was at the Substation in the late 90s. While moshing with two other people was fun, this one will be on another level altogether. I trust that I can live up to the expectations of both Lamb of God and Judas Priest playing later tonight. I should wear black. That’s like the ethically correct colour to wear for such occasions, right?
Though I have to admit that my moshing days are numbered (busted knee, always posing a problem that knee), I am giving myself the chance to savour the melodies emitted from face-smacking-chords at its finest.
Contrary to popular belief, many people think that metal is associated with Satanism. That’s what they said about David Copperfield and also Justin Bieber. But both can’t play a guitar as well as Mark Morton or Glenn Tipton.
To be frank, I don’t care if it’s heavy, trash, black, death or alloy metal. Satanism, similar to creationism and Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs, are born out of fear-mongering (while the latter is the result of Malusdomesticaphobia -phobia of apples.)
The bands performing tonight are technically gifted, and are living legends in their own right. Lamb of God’s bassist, John Campbell is a really down-to-earth guy over the phone, and I am pretty excited to catch Judas Priest last ever tour.
So, black yes?
News: Ming’s Bassic Grows Strong; Zouk Launching Two New Nights

When Zouk launched Bassic in early January, I was fuck-yeah-ing all night long. Helmed by resident DJ Ming and given added weight with Jeremy Boon, the night features all sorts of bass from dubstep to drum & bass. And because it’s neither on the commercial end nor Skrillex side of things, the opening night (which featured Kiat) saw a healthy turnout. The second outing (with Darren Dubwise) was a glorious affair, attracting bass-addicts populating the front and “cutting air” with their hands until there was no more air to cut. Come Mar 10, the night that has already garnered a strong following returns with DJ KoFlow supporting.
March will also see two brand new nights happening at Zouk. Be will take place quarterly featuring bangers and floor-fillers (think Alesso, Arty and Norman Doray) dropped by FORMATIVE, resident djB’s newest moniker. On top of that, he will also select his favourite musicians to add on to the “live” elements. On Mar 30, eccentric percussionist Shovell together with up-and-coming local DJ Chris B. will be dishing the launch of the night with Be Percussive.
A day after the launch of Be, another new night will be launched with Family & Friends -an evening of like-minded individuals showcasing their deck prowess. Mar 31 will see Portuguese DJ Carlos Fauvrelle playing alongside FFF Girl DJ Bootcamp principle founder Debbie Chia together with versatile DJ Kavan.
News: Will Butter Factory’s Ace of Spades Draw A Full House?
AOS - The Official Launch Party
Red Dot Museum l $20/25 includes two drinks
Feb 25, 9pm
Winner of the Singapore Experience Awards 2011 for “Best Nightspot Experience”, The Butter Factory will be leaving their One Fullerton compound for a one-night stay at Red Dot Museum. Launching their new DJ outfit Ace of Spades (AOS) out of their humble establishment, will the gamble pay off?
Made up of Butter’s residents Andrew T, Dave Does and Stanley, the trio will be dishing their staple array of bass-heavy electro, mash-ups, hip hop and R&B. The move to play beyond the club’s dancefloor is unheard of, especially since the intent is to launch a new name for familiar faces. In what could be a move to attract newer patrons to the already youth-centric club, dropping the brand at fresh grounds could play to the club’s advantage.
Added to the line-up for the launch, a regional group of MCs including Bangkok Invader’s Dandee from Thailand and Hong Kong’s GoldMoutain will support.

Dear beloved readers,
If you can read this, that’s great, because Kiss My Culture is facing some technical issues that makes the site disappear and appear again like a really bad herpes scare. But as Mark Zuckerberg would say, “We’re on that shit!” or was it, “own your shit”? Whatever it is, I am doing all I can to rectify the problem which includes drinking a disgusting amount of coffee and throwing empty cigarette boxes at my computer. Very expert stuff happening here. Found out that it all got to do with the DNS propagation that makes…well, lets not bore you with the fun bits. Please do come back later if you don’t see the site. I am given reassurance from the hosting company that it will take another day or two to make it all awesome again. This is the reassurance I will pass to you. At the meantime, have a wonderful Monday. No wait! It’s a Wednesday; what?
Regards,
Zul Andra
