I don't know about you but isn't the month of May a little of an awkward month? It sits in the middle of the year, neither there nor here, parallel to the weather situation in JB. We feel ya, mi amigos!
Here are a few of our event picks for the month to keep your inspiration and motivation alive!
1. Secret Film Screening @ Eightysix
Shhhh...this is for the dreamers, risk-takers and go-getters of the city, looking for a communal and immersive cinema experience. Bring your own mat, grab a drink, and watch a film under the stars with your mates! The only surprise is the film you'll be watching!
RSVP to be in on the secret and a tip will be sent to your inbox - https://goo.gl/forms/3VuHXtIXfYNBRXD22

We are really diggin' Urbanscapes this year. Stretched across 3 weeks, some of us are taking turns in roadtrippin up to KL to experience a piece of what Urbanscapes can offer. Here are our Urbanscapes picks:
- Immersio by Paras Bunyi, Filamen & Berkhayal di Kuala Lumpur - the mixed media exhibition you do not want to miss!
- Clean Bandit Live in Malaysia - even if you only know the words to 'Rather Be'
- Cigarettes After Sex - supported by our very own dreampop duo Juno & Hanna, need I say more?

ACROSS THE BORDER
1. Made in Japan with Dodgy Yamamoto & Shigeki
It is written on the event page that "Dodgy Yamamoto on the controls means the deepest, filthiest house grooves: techy, tribal rhythms with electronic sub-plots, dashes of dub, hints of jazz and splashes of old-school, all dished up to melt the dance floor." Need I say more?
19th May, 10pm
kyo, Singapore
For one night only, French electronic-pop duo, AIR comes to this part of the world to bring to you their spell-binding tracks. This is the act to catch, if you enjoyed PREP last week ;)
