It’s time to pull out your Spotify and your worn in sneakers, because Ultra Singapore 2016 is in less than 2 weeks! We can all agree that the biggest reason we’re heading down would be to catch the headliners (Above & Beyond, Alesso, Deadmau5 just to name a few!). But before you set up camp in front of the Ultra Main Stage, you should be catching some Support and Regional Support acts.
Before you roll your eyes, hear me out!
Support and Regional Support DJs is where music is heading towards, want to know who’s going to be headlining in the next few years? You’re in luck because Ultra Singapore 2016 has brought in some AMAZING Support DJs!

We saved the best the last! Mryne also known as Manfred Lim is a local born producer who in 2015 got signed with music producer Diplo. Like most aspiring EDM DJs he started mixing tracks at home with only a keyboard, an audio software and a Windows laptop. 4 years later and he’s now playing beside the biggest EDM producers. He brands himself as indie electronica, a sleek combination of future bass, R&B and trap. If you’re looking to support a local talent with talent to boot, watch out for Mryne!
Catch him if you like: Indie Electronica
When/Where: Saturday, Live Stage
Let’s be honest most of us are heading to Ultra to catch the big names, but if you’re looking out for some fresh names with talent. Look out for these guys and their sets, because they’re going to be headlining shows in the future!

Nothing really according to DSG’s brand ambassador Kimberley Yong.

Owning The Night – Singapore Night Festival 2016 Is EVEN BETTER Than Before!
This year’s iconic Night Fest celebrates the passion of creation with the theme: Inventions and Innovation. Join the revelry as science fiction and fantasy intertwine! Get ready to enjoy unforgettable performances and light art, inspired by the zeal that drove inventors in their quest to discover the new and unconventional. Located once again at the Bras Basah and Bugis precinct, visitors can watch street and classic facades come alive with spectacular light art installations. And, as usual, look forward to engaging activities and roving street performances by Singapore and international artists! Explore the wonders of a young inventor’s lair and watch as performers wearing fishbowls (with live goldfish!) perform. That’s not all! We have also shortlisted several highlights that will definitely enthral and amaze. So, summon up your inner night bug and be prepared to have some fun! Firstly, let local contemporary performance company, CAKE, draw you into a world of adventure and discovery. In “The Mechanical Heart”, spectators will journey together with Professor Chambers and his son Christopher. They will go on a thrilling expedition to find crystal caves. Visitors of all ages will also be fully engaged with this fun experiential extravaganza! They can step into a ‘Time Machine’ and wander through a tunnel of mirrors. You can even meet towering characters, take part in a funky fashion parade and ‘invent’ a mechanical heart at the craft booths! Grab your tickets to this riveting event at SISTIC right now. Location: Cathay Green In this journey, two traveller-gatherers embark on a road to nowhere. With its unique portable stage, the audience, you, can actually WALK ALONGSIDE them as the story unravels! On this stage, the only way to go is forward. We love it, and we bet you will too! Location: Mainground This year’s Night Festival brings together a collage of brilliant night shows! As always, the entire precinct will be transformed into a spectacular visual feast. Watch the stately National Museum of Singapore’s facade light up with Keyframes, or jaunty LED stick-men telling micro-stories about urban life while paying homage to tradition. Immerse yourself in art as the kaleidoscopic projections on Peranakan Museum flit and flutter in response to moving shadows. Most interesting of all is #showerthoughts: a light exhibition that recreates the unexpected inspiration moments we often experience while showering. Do pack a camera, you’re going to want to immortalise this night forever. Location: Along the streets of Bugis/ Bras Basah. Night Fest wouldn’t be complete without the ultimate epicurean experience at the Festival Village! There are 17 booths selling festival favourites. Leave no stomach hollow with food like Bacon bombs with potato and cheese, and churros and creamsicles. Be on the look out for paus stuffed with salted egg yolk and soft-shell crab and duck leg confit burger! Don’t forget to go for the free face painting session with Cosmoprof Academy. Otherwise, browse through handcrafted creations by local artists at the flea. Festival-goers can also groove to live performances. Local and international musicians will be playing and enhancing the whole experience. The HubbaBubbas, Stopgap, and Linying will grace the stage with their stellar voices alongside Australia’s Alice Ivy and more. Location: Singapore Management University Campus Green and University Square It is evident that this event gets progressively better each year. From what we’ve seen so far, the 9th edition promises to be more electrifying than ever before. Grab a bunch of friends this weekend, head down to the Night Fest and own the night!
