Shameless Reviewed!

"Shameless, after a short absence returns with an eclectic line-up of arcane selects that includes XU (TAC,MISSHAPES), DJMENTOR, G:TEK & Z.ITCh.

The greatest thing that Home Club has going for it is its ambience. An intimate, cosy setting, as it's name suggest, makes perfect a place for palsy-walsy get-togethers.

Having been clueless about the whole Electroclash scene, I decided to check it out and trust me, I wasn't at all disappointed.

Resounding to upbeat electro+new wave party vibe, the undeniable funk beats emanating from the speakers had me going onto the dancefloor straight, impudent of the drowsy state that I was in.

It was not entirely surprising to see an absence of a crowd considering the fact that this genre is still in it's premature stage, for Singapore that is.

Phil, 32, one of the few present, agreed.

"It's still a new scene. However, it's been a good progress so far and I won't be at all surprise if it gets as big as it had been in Germany."

However, it's a blessing in disguise.

Truly, I didn't had to worry about stepping on someone else's shoes or bum into some bloke's eye candy.

The mix for the night recombined elements of discopunk and new wave with extravagant amounts of electro drum n' bass. Your body pulsate under the stomping sounds and feet rhythmically pound the floor and even if there were any glitches, you would care less.

It was a pretty smooth night except for the occasional high-pitched tone that went a little over the top but professionally complimented with catchy electronic grooves that seem to overwhelm the several clubbers waltzing in delirium. Of course, with infectious sounds by the abovesaid Djs, even Pope Benedict would trade his Mass for a day of electroclash party.

Enough said, if you missed "Shameless: The Regular Stomp", you've missed having a taste of what the clubbing scene is gonna sound like, couple of years down the road.

Who needs a crowd when you've got the music and the dancefloor to yourself?"
