This week sees plenty of music and booze from Club Kyo’s new Wednesday night MODAL and live music at the inaugural 75cl Wine Festival to a world-class bartender jetting into town for a bartending shift. For the artsy, check out Affordable Art Fair or up your literary quotient with a book swop at TAP over the weekend.
kyo presents MODAL with EJ MISSY feat. SIVANESH
MODAL is Club Kyo‘s new Wednesday night for house and tech-house music, helmed by EJ Missy and rotating guests. This week, MODAL is featuring Sivanesh, who has accredited himself rather nicely with a full-time residency at CÉ LA VI, as well as gigs at quality spaces such as Canvas, Gem Bar and Kilo Lounge. With a sound that’s a cross between the sexy house of Dennis Ferrer, the soulfulness of Kerri Chandler, and the groovy toughness of Santé, expect a roller-coaster of soundscapes at Club Kyo this Wednesday.
kyo presents MODAL with EJ MISSY feat. SIVANESH is happening on Wednesday, 11 November 2015 at Club Kyo. Admission is $20 for ladies, and $25 for men (inclusive of 1 drink).

75cl Wine Festival
To shirk the snob factor of wine, new online wine destination 75cl is organising a laidback Saturday afternoon with a large spread of over 100 labels of wine from all around the world for public tasting. Adding to the flavours on offer is a food truck serving fusion fare like Asian sliders. There will be ice-cream, gourmet products, music, and a good dose of fun in the form of blind taste tests where participants can win prizes by sampling and correctly guessing wine varietals and regions.
75cl Wine Festival is happening on Saturday, 14 November 2015 at 32 Kallang Place from 12pm to 6pm. Admission is free.
