Badmash: Rebel underground music movement

PUBLISHED January 23rd, 2014 01:00 am | UPDATED May 18th, 2020 04:31 pm

There’s an underground music movement brewing….it’s need to know….totally top secret so we could tell you about it, but then we’d have to kill you. You’ll keep it hush? Promise? ok then but sssssssshhhhhhhhhhh! BADMASH CCTV, is a DJ’s playground….a place to perform without stressing about what the organisers want, or what the club wants, or having to fend off another drunk request for Lady Gaga (NO!).

It’s a place where the indie talent in Singapore’s DJ / musical underground don’t have to worry about bringing in crowds, or playing commercial music for the bars and clubs, or playing to an unappreciative audience. Without being dictated to or confined by external requirements, it means DJ’s can do their thing with total freedom, really go for it and produce a little magic!

“Think of it as a friendly place to cut loose and play what you want: bring your A game, no rules, no holds barred…” say the Badmash founder…well, we think it was him, he used a voice decoder and wore a disguise.

BADMASH CCTV can be discovered in under-used and random spaces, popping up briefly then disappearing again into oblivion. It’s a party where everyone knows everyone – a club in the true sense of the word. All BADMASH CCTV parties are strictly private and limited to an exclusive hand-picked crowd of BADMASHES, at random secret locations in Singapore, but here’s the twist……

Riding the new technology wave of high-bandwidth broadband and live A/V streaming platforms…they broadcast the event to everyone via the internet and social media platforms. Thus taking the standard DJ mix or radio broadcast and giving it more dimension. Imagine a radio show that you can see – with extra partying thrown in to spice things up.

BADMASH CCTV organise the event, curate the DJ lineup and guestlist, and live-stream all of it to the internet to create one of the coolest tickets in town, and City Nomads has the hook-up – we’ll be live-streaming the party exclusively from our site.
