Managed by a small but devoted team of audiophiles, HOME is run with an insurmountable passion for sounds, an uncanny affinity for alcohol and come July, half a decade of blood, sweat and tears. Having dedicated their entire existence to the infusion of quality music into an arguably sterile and almost undeniably oversaturated market of commercial clubs and boutique bars, HOME has, with a little help and a lot of hard work, spearheaded the underground movement of sunny Singapore. From its humble beginnings as a small bar stuck between two quays to an integral part of both the local and international club-scape, the 300-pax venue with its trademark bare ceilings and resident pillar (awkwardly residing on the dance-floor) has finally made it to the other side and is turning 5 years old – and what a 5 years it’s been!

From Poptart to Beat!, HangTheDJ to LO-FI, Guerilla to +65, in the past and in the present, HOME has constantly and consistently pushed all sonic boundaries and has pioneered the way for just about every influential dance movement occurring round the globe, be it Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Live Electronica or even Indie Rock… the list goes on and on. Graced by special guest appearances from legends across multiple genres, the club has been fortunate to have been visited by some lovely people; label bosses, rock stars, champions and the downright famous – all sharing the same love for music. To name only a few – the likes of Goldie, LTJ Bukem, Roni Size, Pendulum, Craze, Kid Fresh, Rafik, Kele (Bloc Party), LOVEFOXX (CSS), Al Doyle (Hot Chip), Simon Rix (Kaiser Chiefs), Bugz in the Attic, Peaches … the list really does go on and on.

Together with DJ SS back in 2005, HOME Club was officially born amid the sounds of rolling breaks and bottomless bass. Five years, two renovations and a full cycle later, HOME still stands and the subs are still booming. Celebrating with us this time is DJ Marky (Innerground Records, Brazil) and Stamina MC (UK), arguably one of the most exciting pairs to be witnessed at the decks. With his signature samba style, under Stamina’s summery vocals, the duo is set to bring the roof down, five times over. And if that’s not enough to shout about, local scene legend, Vortex returns from his two year exodus in London, joining +65 residents Ming & Kiat on the decks to complete the ultimate line up.

Through great times, and not so great times, HOME has persistently ploughed through all of them. Tireless in their support, and supporting tirelessly, the club has over the years met great people, and not so great people, but regardless, continued to play an active role in the development of local talent. Whether it be contributing to fly bands overseas, or merely giving an aspiring DJ their first gig, creating a stable and musically diverse community within Singapore has always been a priority since HOME is what it says on the metaphorical label – A place of comfort, for friends, for family, the home of drum and bass, the home of the indie-pendents. HOME – the glamorous underground.
