it's been almost a week, yet the grief still comes in waves.
to the beautiful souls who have given me words of encouragement and enlightenment in the recent loss of my dearest hiro, thank you so much for your kindness. your support means everything to me, and i am so grateful for my family and friends, and the friends i've made this year who have also become my family. thank you for being a huge part of my life. 💕
my dearest hiro, you were one of the best things that ever happened to me. you came into my house out of the blue one day, a tiny tiny kitten that could fit into the palm of my hand. you listened quietly, adorably, to the music i played, you loved the beats and bass, but you were afraid of the 🌩️ and 🌧️. i loved how small you were, yet so full of curiosity.
you were there for me all the time, just by being present. just by being with me, by my side, on my lap, in my arms. you were simply mine. you were simply my best friend. i wish you had more time on earth for us to spend together. now i'll always hold on to the amazing memories we’ve made together, because i can no longer hold you.
i will miss you forever, and i will never forget you. 🩶🕊️🌈🌼🏡🎾
i love you always, hiro boy

Our second radio residency at @radioradio.radio is now online!
This time with our dear internet friend Robo X whom we finally met after countless musical conversations over the ether. He came all the way from Singapore and treated us with a set full of authentic, groovy house music.
Swipe for some snippets, and find the full link in our bio!

Singapore is no stranger to the Underground Electronic Music scene and within South East Asia they are considered a powerhouse amongst giants. Amassing an army of talented DJs, amongst them Robo x, who in fact is also the man behind Love.Play, a collective of DJs showcasing and connecting DJs around Asia. A talented DJ who has been in the scene since the 2000s, building his name ever since. Emersing himself in various styles, he currently is focused on House/Classic House as well as Tech House.

As the starlings traversed the desert on their newfound planet, they were summoned by these sensations they could feel pulsating throughout the air, creating reverberations in their bodies. Soon the vibrations became sounds, music travelling from the oasis they had seen in the distance.
Upon approach of the mouth of the oasis, they could see it was actually the opening to a jungle where they witnessed a jubilant celebration - a birthday of sorts for this wondrous space. In the crowd two totems towered over the frolicking beings, seasoning the dancers with sound.
The celebration is none other than the birthday of our beloved Rasa, who turns 1 this January. In true celebration style, we have a ‘north star’ booking of one of Lilian’s favourite artists, Shanti Celeste, a queen of celestial sonics.
Driving the journey on the floor will be Robo X from 10pm and then Miss Lil at 11:30.
Meanwhile in the hall, three distinguished DJs of the Red Dot’s scene come together for a first time b3b with Sivanesh, Daytime Dancing, and Maurice Simon. The gents kick off at 9pm.
All this action for $30 presale but then we bump up to $45 on the door. Lock in your plans early and come celebrate Rasa’s birthday with us!

Saturdays at BTGD is for the brave, the bold, and the ones who refuse to leave the dance floor politely.
First up, Robo X ( @____as__ri___ ) — Singapore’s quiet assassin of the underground, the brain behind Love.Play, and a selector who’s been shaping the scene since the 2000s. Classic House, Progressive vibes, Tech House pressure — whatever the mission, he delivers.
Then strap in for Folie à Deux ( @folieadeux.muzique ) — the chaotic duo born from a rojak-fueled, fate-written back-to-back at Kult Kafe. One spicy, one fiery. They’ve lit up Potato Head, TUFF CLUB, and warmed floors for the likes of Cinthie and Kolter (fka Djoko) — and now they’re here to serve 4/4 heat, questionable humor dangerously good chemistry.
House grooves. Tech house thump. Zero apologies.
