house music festivals
The house music festivals is an annual festival in Singapore that takes place in and around the Esplanade Theatre for ten days. Started in 2005, house music festivals began as a jazz and world music festival but has since grown to feature a wide variety of music styles. The festival is a celebration of music as art and as such is less likely to feature chart-topping pop stars. The entire Esplanade complex takes part in the festival. Not only utilising the venues within, like the concert hall and the theatre but also the surrounding area. As the Esplanade is right next to Marina Bay, it is the perfect setting for these free outdoor shows. The free shows are an important part of Mosaic. With a feeling that music should be for everyone, an outdoor stage right on the waterfront will be showcasing music that's perfect for music lovers and passers-by alike.
Some of the 2013 house music festivals performers include:
Acid House Kings: Bonding over a shared love of Elvis Priestly and The Smiths, Sweden's Acid House Kings bring their unique brand of indie-pop to the Esplanade Theatre Studio.
Grimes: Hailing from Canada, the fiercely independent Grimes has grown in popularity at an astronomical pace. A true testament to DIY record making and the power of the Internet, see what all the fuss is about when Grimes brings her keyboard to the Esplanade Theatre Studio.
Wouter Hamel: Holland's own pop sensation Wouter Hamel brings his amazing voice to house music festivals in 2013. Hamel shot to fame after winning the Dutch Jazz Vocal Competition in 2005. Since then he has released three critically acclaimed albums and has toured all over Europe. Catch him in the Esplanade Recital Studio.
