FUDGE is a collaborative concept brought to you by GrooveTop, Twelve Degree and RAAJ.

GrooveTop is a multi-genre pop-up party series based in Singapore that brings a diverse crowd together through the love of music, great drinks and a damn good time. At the heart of GrooveTop is the desire to create a sense of community, centred around our shared love for the dance floor. Our music philosophy is - as long as it’s funky and it’s got soul - we want to play it. The music at GrooveTop parties range from Funk, Soul, R&B, Hip Hop, Afro, UKG and Disco to House and everything in between. Each event is carefully curated - from the music direction, the DJs, to the venue, menu and overall experience. Depending on the party, the focus of the night can change, keeping things fresh and a little different every time.

Twelve Degrees is all about good vibes, great music, and unforgettable nights. Based in Singapore, we throw genre blending parties that move from house and hip-hop to South Asian rhythms and cutting-edge techno always in spaces that match the energy of the crowd. At the heart of it all, we champion South Asian DJs and artists, giving them a platform to shine and connect cultures through sound. Whether it’s the music, the people, or the atmosphere, every Twelve Degrees event is built to leave you with stories to tell and memories that last.

RAAJ, formerly known as Joshua P, has been a prominent figure and driving force in Singapore's local and cultural scene. With over 20 years of experience in DJing, he has left a significant mark on the Southeast Asian music scene. Drawing from his Tamil roots, RAAJ strives to showcase his culture to the masses while maintaining a deep connection to his heritage. In addition to multiple residencies at some of Singapore’s iconic venues, RAAJ frequently headlines local parties, consistently pushing the boundaries of music and culture.

We're back with our annual Dreamstate Disco! This time, we’re painting the night with the colorful spirit of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). We’ve teamed up with the amazing folks at Lucha Loco to create a night filled with artful decorations that pay homage to this beautiful tradition. Think sugar skulls, marigolds, and an atmosphere that buzzes with magical energy.

This cherished Mexican tradition is a time to honor and remember loved ones who have passed, celebrating their lives with joy, music, and art. It’s about embracing the cycle of life and death in a way that invites warmth and happiness, transforming remembrance into a festive celebration. Which brings us to this - Day of the Dead is NOT Halloween, nor it is the Mexican version of Halloween. It is not meant to be gory or scary, this is a happy celebration!

So come with that energy and come dressed the part or get in early to get your face painted by our artist - limited slots available from 8pm - 10pm! We highly recommend coming early to this party, not only for the face paint but Don Julio will be handing out welcome shots to get the party started and you'll have time to grab some food from Lucha Loco's amazing modern Mexican menu.

We've got an amazing line up for you - our GrooveTop favourites, Aurora, Candiceb, RAAJ and the exciting return of The Whooligan! The Brooklyn, NY based DJ killed it at our first Garden Party earlier this year (IYKYK) so you know this is going to be one for the books.

Get your tickets now, they are limited and you don't want to miss out on this one!

THE DJS

KIROLLUS (GROOVE ANTHOLOGY, UK)
One of Kirollus’ greatest strengths is his ability to take listeners on a journey and unify the dancefloor. His strong affinity to music and understanding of the psychological power of sound enables him to evoke the emotions of others with his unique delivery and selections.

Nothing quite compares to seeing Kirollus perform in person, his larger than life persona behind the turntables clearly comes from a place of authenticity and a genuine connection with those on the dancefloor. His eclectic all vinyl sets are deeply rooted in a soul and groove, nurtured during his 8 years tenure behind the counter at Uptight Records in Hove and an obsession with uncovering music from decades gone by. During this time Kirollus has developed an enviable collection and ear for music which far surpasses his years and has managed to gain the appeal of a wide demographic whilst staying true to himself both musically and his personal convictions.

His platform Groove Anthology is a product of Kirollus’ love of connecting people through music and dance with the goal of increasing the opportunities for the many overlooked DJs in the industry. The last 12 months has seen Kirollus at festivals all across the UK and headlining shows throughout Italy, The Netherlands and other parts of Europe, including a dynamic b2b with Detroit legend Marcellus Pittman in Geneva.

EMEL ROWE
Though it may not have been initially evident even for himself, Emel Rowe has the love for music engraved in his DNA. The Filipino-Australian DJ, party polymath, and vibe manager brings with him a gift of feeling; one that led to a flourishing career spinning across countries and co-founding UNKNWN, CC:Concepts and Manila Community Radio in the Philippines along the way. From closing Equation Festival and raising a rager in Wonderfruit Festival to hosting numerous events across the archipelago, Rowe has been both fortunate and diligent with his mission to share special moments on and off the floor.

RAAJ
With over 20 years of experience in DJing, RAAJ (or Joshua P) has left a significant mark on the Southeast Asian music scene. Drawing from his Tamil roots, RAAJ strives to showcase his culture to the masses while maintaining a deep connection to his heritage.

His journey in the Singapore scene has seen him hold residencies at iconic venues like KU DE TA/CE LA VI, Butter Factory, and Fashion Bar. RAAJ also frequently headlines local parties, consistently pushing the boundaries of music and culture. His eclectic sets blend genres such as Funk, Soul, House, Bass, Garage, Afro, and Tamil and South Indian hits, creating a unique and vibrant experience for his audience.

RAAJ's influence extends beyond the DJ booth; he has also served as a music director for establishments like KU DE TA, CE LA VI, Bar Rouge, and currently at Mandala Club. His booking selections at Mandala Club reflect his commitment to diversity, featuring artists like JYOTY, NASH (IND), Habibibeats, Nia Archives, Yung Singh, Murder He Wrote, and more, contributing to the rich tapestry of Singapore's club landscape.
