about
Calling all dancers – we're kicking things off in 2024 with a banger. Hailing from Japan, the duo from Monkey Timers are visiting our shores to give you a taste of their New House and Disco Dub style. We've fallen in love with their groove-laced DJ sets and are buzzing to have them in the ICS booth. Get ready.

P.S. This event will also be a special send-off for our resident selector, an absolute legend on and off the decks – Muto – who relocates back to Japan this year (we're not crying, you're crying). Show some love. This one's for you Muto-san <3

ABOUT MONKEY TIMERS
------------------------------------

With a background in underground culture and influences from New House and Disco Dub, spearheaded by the likes of DJ Harvey and Idjut Boys, Monkey Timers is a DJ/Production unit that is gaining attention in Japan and internationally as pioneers of the next phase of Japan's dance music scene.

Monkey Timers started their musical career in 2008, before launching their own record label "DISKO KLUBB" in 2009. They then started hosting a series of parties under the same name, inviting a slew of like-minded DJs such as Gerd Janson, Prins Thomas, Idjut Boys, and John Talabot, amongst others. The label unveiled Monkey Timers’ debut EP “Monk” in 2013, and their second EP “Alabama EP‎” in 2016. The duo has been featured on Boiler Room two times to date, and they released their long-awaited first full album "KLUBB LONELY" in 2022.

THE VENUE
------------------

For this one, we're venturing back to the Tanjong Pagar Distripark at 39 Keppel Road. The site of our 7th anniversary party in 2023, it's oozing with that special sauce we look for in a venue. A breezy carpark space with a unique industrial backdrop, killer sunset views, and plenty of space for dancing.

------------------------------------
VISUALS & DECORATION
------------------------------------

New year, new experiences. Our creative team never stops dreaming up new ways to cook your brain, and they've got something special in store for you this time. You can look forward to mind blowing stage design, custom lighting, and decorative flourishes courtesy of artists @jaymimcm, worm.grrl, @bryankxe, and UmamiFX.

------------------------
FOOD & DRINKS
------------------------

Our onsite bar will be dishing out a selection of delicious spirits, beers, and seltzers to keep you nicely lubricated throughout the day. Plus, we’ll have a food vendor onsite for that mid-boogie dinner break.

    Tokyo, Japan
  • MUTO (2)

    Just visualise a metropolis blanketed in austere ruin, coloured by an ominous soundtrack with a heart of iron and stone. Such is the harsh dimension introduced by Muto Masashi, a name that’s bobbed along the surface of the Singaporean electronic scene for some time now. After years of cutting his teeth in the local DJ circuit, the Japanese selector has finally released Ishi, his debut EP that translates his imagination and influences into these dystopian musical fantasies.

  • Toppings

    Co-Founder & Resident DJ at Ice Cream Sundays Hailing from Manila, Toppings (Jake Camacho) is best known for his work as co-founder, resident DJ, and core team member of Singapore-based party collective, Ice Cream Sundays. A lifelong student of music history, his exposure to diverse musical styles and traditions shines through in his eclectic approach to DJing. Rooted in deep, soulful, and psychedelic house infused with jazz, disco, funk, balearic, and afrobeat, each of his sets delivers a tasty blend of percussive grooves, playful experimentation, and—at times—pure, uncut optimism. Equally at home in a beachside booth, an intimate dark room, or playing to large, sweaty crowds, he has plied his trade at clubs and music-focused venues all over the city, including Headquarters, TUFF CLUB, CÉ LA VI, Kilo, Offtrack, Tanjong Beach Club, and Potato Head, to name a few. He has built a reputation for tasteful and versatile selection along the way, so it's no surprise he has been called on to support high-caliber acts like AlunaGeorge, Henrik Schwarz, Chaos In The CBD, Soul Clap, Jasper James, Tornado Wallace, Dekmantel Soundsystem, Floyd Lavine, Lowheads, and Bosq. He has also been invited to play at some of Singapore's largest events, representing the Ice Cream Sundays crew at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, Neon Lights Festival, Garden Beats Festival, and IMI Festival. As a DJ/promoter, Toppings co-founded Ice Cream Sundays in 2016. Over the years, the collective has become a fixture in the local nightlife circuit, throwing some of Singapore's most memorable and sought after pop-up parties. They have sold out shows wherever they spring up—whether it's a 1920s theme park, a green enclave, or a stark industrial space—while collaborating with likeminded local and regional powerhouses such as Darker Than Wax, Shi Fu Miz, and Rainbow Disco Club. And behind the decks at each of their events, you'll find the cheeky selector himself.
