Join us as we initiate the new wave of goth parties with revival of ALTERNATION, Singapore’s longest running alternative music night on record. Come 16th October, the interiors of DXO will drip macabre, melancholy and madness as befitting its patrons of eternal night. Hosted by Singapore Dark Alternative Movement (SDAM), the purveyor of Singapore’s only dedicated alternative music events, Alternation will feature, no holds barred, the sickest and harshest of Goth/Industrial/EBM from international club circuits. Those familiar with our goth parties will know this, but for the uninitiated, brace yourselves as our resident deckmasters MENTOR (X’ho) and MURDERFREAK unleash fiery inferno upon the dance floor.

In addition, we bring you a more gothic goodness in the form of ABSINTHE GARDEN. This art exhibit is a non-profit effort on the part of SDAM to showcase local alternative talents to the general public as well as media. Proudly curated in the Nest of DXO, we have gathered for your pleasure, an eclectic mix of six active local artists with a penchant for twisted tragedy. When chandeliers cast their sultry glow upon their heartworks, each of them will take you down the road less travelled--if you will but keep an open mind. What the dark and alternative means to each artist converge into the tenet: Marrying the weird and the wonderful with positively no discrimination, while striking contrast to the everyday with wicked relish.

Hello, I just joined and wanted to introduce myself.

I'm from Delica, a goth/synthpop band. We're releasing a new CD/DVD in a few months but for now here's a preview of our stuff.



There's more at our website. Enjoy!

On Saturday 22 August 2009, a night of wicked wonders comes your way as the Singapore Dark Alternative Movement (SDAM) unleashes Heart of Darkness, critically-acclaimed by Timeout Singapore as their ‘number one choice for alternative entertainment’. Turn away from the light of day and find your soul’s sanctuary at NOVA, a lair of lachrymose for the disparate respite with black thrones, Jack Daniels and mirrorballs. DJ alchemists Lique (Diol), Mentor (aka X'Ho) and Cosmic Battlefield (Benjamin Ang from Cosmic Armchair) weave up potent elixirs of EBM, electro-industrial and gothic soundscapes to electrify, devour and enthrall.

Sinister spirits, come dressed in your darkest nines for surrender to the blackness. Make merry under the moon and let music become your elecampane with your favourite poison in tow. Heart of Darkness will immortalise your senses in kaleidoscopic proportions, in a maleficent maelstrom to intoxicate like none other.

Dark Friday: Where you can stop fighting against being different, and start embracing it. Really. Others may have forfeited these all-too-often forgotten charms of death and decay; brutally quashed facets of humanity hastily relegated to the stuff of nightmares and farce.

But not you, oh no. Your dark sensibilities demand and revel in pleasurable aspects of the morbid and macabre--nothing more than memento-mori. So lift up your bleeding hearts and brooding brows, and be welcome to drink, dance and speak what you may, because you have no reason to be anywhere else, other than DARK FRIDAY.

( Down the river Styx )
With love, cats and bats aflutter

Lique

Fall into the darkness this Friday 13th with the goths, freaks, alternatives, or really, ANYONE out for a different clubbing experience!
Come dressed to impress and win a FREE TATTOO from Visual Orgasm! (terms and conditions apply)
