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.
