Happening now monthly at Home, fronted by resident Jerls and helmed by the duke of Dubstep, Darren Dubwise (Syndicate), come on down to experience this unforgettable club night.

JERLS

Being born from the underground sounds of heavy bands and combining the elements of electronic music have inspired Jerls to produce and collect Dubstep tracks. He has loitered and drifted around the local bass scene since 2008, before he was been discovered by and picked up to be Home Club’s dubstep face. Since August 2011, Jerls has fronted HOME’s Dubstep club night ‘I ♥ DUBSTEP’ and has since left a deep impression on fellow dubheads with his energy-packed vibe and the way he grabs the dancefloor with symphonic melody and dirty bass drops.

DARREN DUBWISE

A long time music collector and harbour of useless musical anecdotes, Darren Dubwise has been involved in Singapore’s bass scene since 1999.

After playing an active role in the drum & bass community with Kondense.com & Exitmusik.com, Darren conceived DUBWISE together with DJ Castro in 2006 originally as club night based on the Jamaican sound system culture. The end result was a hybrid of reggae, dub, grime, UK garage and the then infant dubstep, the resounding success encouraged the boys to take a bold step. They sought out producers and artists that proved their mettle to work with; accelerating the process was the depth of what technology had to offer and a chance meeting with New York native DJ Liondub, who is also a producer and has worked with many reggae greats in the past. This led to the collaboration with one of reggae’s inimitable icons – Johnny Osborne.

The night however was short-lived, but its notoriety was kept alive as a DJ duo when Darren and Castro, were billed to play as Dubwise at major festivals such as the Good Vibrations Festival and Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival here in Singapore.

Darren then brought the Dubwise sound around the region playing gigs in Bali, Jakarta, Saigon, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur etc. As a purveyor in the fine art of bass, he has billed alongside other renowned artists such as Arrested Development, Jurrasic 5, Stereotyp, the Gaslamp Killer, Kode9, Drop The Lime, DJ Nobody, Free the Robots, Dr Strangeloop, Tokimonsta and more.

In year end 2009 together with local producers Kiat and Cherry Chan, Singapore’s revolutionary audio-visual super collective Syndicate was conceptualized and formed. Transmitter of beats and visual culture, SYNDICATE represents a melt down of audio experimentation and visual dares. The collective is set to deconstruct and reassemble sound concepts and visual ideas with live performances and installations set in various spaces and contexts.
