Cosmic Armchair at Dream Lab

DREAM LAB was an interactive installation where the audience participates in the creative process, contributing words and ideas that are transformed into digital graphics, video, and electronic music, interspersed with evocative sounds and visuals, to draw out the dreams that lie inside all of us.

DREAM LAB was presented at the NUS Arts Festival 2018 at the National University of Singapore University Cultural Centre (NUS UCC) by LAB RATS featuring COSMIC ARMCHAIR (www.cosmicarmchair.com) OCEANS CHILDREN, JAY LIM and LIZ GOH.

Goths in Singapore

The Goth community in Singapore has always been very supportive of our music, and Ben is now resident DJ of the Back in Black event series (next event Saturday 21 October 2017 at Chimichanga, 36 Dunlop Street) organized by the Singapore Dark Alternative Movement.

The opening DJ is MNRV who plays post punk, dark wave, EBM (Wulfband), and industrial (3Teeth and Youth Code)

Prime time is helmed by DJ RED, a consummate professional multi-genre DJ who plays EBM and industrial when she’s at Back in Black

And Ben rounds off the night with darkwave, synthwave, and new wave classic remixes, including some Cosmic Armchair remixes and live mashups.

The first Back in Black of the series succeeded in reuniting the Goth Community in Singapore after a hiatus of a few years.

We’re very glad to be welcomed by the Gothic Community in Singapore, as far back as Outbreed, the first ever large-scale alternative party in Singapore, at the unconventional remote location of Mandai Orchid Garden. Gathered in one mind blowing live gig were the biggest alternative musical talents in the local scene as well as resident Goth DJs. The Goth and alternative communities came in full force to enjoy genres of music spanning the entire spectrum of dark-alternative, all in one wild night.

Since then Ben has DJ-ed at various Goth events, and after a short hiatus, we’re glad to be back. Join us at Back in Black (Facebook Event Link here https://www.facebook.com/events/774685876036769) on Saturday 21 October.
