THE VINYL WORD

VIEW THIS PAGE

There are several events of varying shades, sounds and cityscapes this weekend. Only the broke, battered or “I have a cold” brigade have mild excuses for not seeking out one of these beauties.

First up is an interesting-looking evening tonight at the Gallery bar in the Grand Formosa Regent Taipei with Hendrick’s Gin on promotional duties. The event’s theme is loosely based on Jules Verne’s novel, Around the World in Eighty Days.

Guests are asked to wear something Phileas Fogg-themed: Think England 1872, mid-Victorian era. D.Soto will be laying down some rare jazz grooves for attendees. “We have the best bartenders in Taiwan serving eight famous gin cocktails from around some of the most famous cocktail bars in the world,” Bernard Jutnet, brand manager for Hendrick’s Gin told the Vinyl Word, adding that a new cocktail, the “Formosa Buck,” will be unveiled. Definitely a slightly more refined night for those seeking more upmarket chill than down-and-dirty ill.

Around the World in Eight Unusual Cocktails happens tonight at the Grand Formosa Regent Taipei, 41, Zhongshan N Rd Sec 2, Taipei City (台北市中山北路2段41). NT$799 with one cocktail plus a selection of fine food from Around the World.

Get some Therapy tomorrow, hosted by Swank, promising electro house by the bucket load from Canadians Gareth Jones and Matty D and Steve Stokes from the UK. This is the only decent party in Taichung tonight for electro house, and Stokes, a long-termer who has only been deejaying for about a year, will be on the ones and twos with tech house. He’s played at a few parties recently, and it’s good to see a new talent like him emerging from the foreign community and doing well.

Therapy is tomorrow at Liquid Lounge, 98 Chungming S Rd, Taichung City (台中市忠明南路98號). From 10pm until 5am. NT$300 all night; two drinks are included with admission before midnight.

R-Min, Glenn Jr and Stingrays are promising “cutting-edge electronic dance music” in Kaohsiung at the Dizzy Pub tomorrow and the following two Saturdays. To check out the flyer and get a taste of DJ Glenn’s track selection, visit www.djglenn.com.tw.

House of Gods takes place tonight, Nov. 22 and Nov. 29 at Dizzy Pub, 170-176 Sihwei 4th Rd, Kaohsiung City (高雄市四維路170-176號). From 10pm until 5am. NT$150 with a drink.

Hopefully no one has forgotten Queen Bee’s hot tip last week. The big one in Taipei this weekend looks to be minimal techno house party Earworm at VT Artsalon tomorrow.

Earworm is tomorrow at VT Artsalon, B1, 47 Yitong St, Taipei City (台北市伊通街47號B1). Admission is NT$400.
