Singapore National Museum is hosting a party (with Zouk) on the second weekend of their inaugural “Night Festival 2008″. A FREE party open to those 16 and above, the 2 day event will encompass vastly different entertainment each night to cater to a wider audience and give people a reason to come for both nights…

Day 1 – Fri 25th July, 10pm – 2am

Day 1 has a more bohemian feel, with craft & art related fringe activities to nurture one’s artistic side as well as support budding local artists. Get your hands on one-off creations by artists like Maki Squarepatch, White Dog Bobby and The Proletariat Poetry Factory or create one yourself by trying a hand at silk-screening, body art and drumming.

Rock out on the first night with the international merry noisemakers; Van She who’ll be showering your ears with new sounds from their upcoming album “V”. Local Zouk jock Hong will also be spinning a special indie disco set to set the mood, not forgetting a 100 strong drumming act to kick off the night and fireworks.

Day 2 – Sat 26th July, 10pm – 2am
Features Fresh! – Zouk’s Annual Tribute to Hip Hop Culture

Day 2 features Fresh, an annual fixture held at Zouk for the past 8 years that celebrates Hip Hop culture and its 4 pillars (breakdancing, MC-ing, turntablism and graffiti art). This is the very first time that Fresh will take place outside the club and be open to those 16 and above for attendance and participation.

The night’s programming includes live breakdance & graffiti competitions, happening simultaneously, where some of Singapore’s best will battle it out for cash and prizes. Hosting the whole party is Masia One, a dynamic Singapore born, Toronto based MC who will perform and introduce showcases by other MCs & turntablists respectively.

Finally get down to the set of special guest of the evening, turntable maestro DJ Shortkut (US), alumnae of all star scratch team, The Invisibl Skratch Piklz and supported by past Singapore DMC champions.
