FLUX US

FLUX US is a newly opened shop at Peninisula Shopping Centre (#04-34) . They stock CDs/DVDs/books/T-shirts, etc from experimental music labels like Touch, Erstwhile, Mego, Soul Jazz, Kranky, PSF and the likes. The last time I asked, the catalogue is constantly growing as we speak . FLUX US is an initiative of sporesac. Sounds like some kind of fungus outbreak, doesn't it ? sporesac is actually the Singapore Sonic Arts Collective. "A loosely-based organisation of individuals and interests dedicated to promoting sound exploration and design through convergence and dissemination" Yup, that's what the flyer says. According to FLUX US, they will be having in-store performances periodically. Dates and schedule of performers from July to Sept on their flyer (see link- ) . Sure beats having lion dancers warding off bad vibes but I am positive it will be just as noisy taking a look at the programme. Some familiar names like George Chua and Zai Kuning will be playing. Even Rocket Scientist (with ETC) . Rocket Scientist (and ETC as well) have not be playing for a while so it will be kinda interesting to watch. There's also the "guitar ambient" duo aspidistra fly .Anyway, its great to have shops like these available. Don't have to use the internet everytime to get the CDs we like. Especially if its just a couple but with the same hefty shipping rates. Long Live the fungus outbreak and FLUX THEM !
