 THE EVENT: ROBO AGOGO 

"The swinging 60s and hippie 70s gave the world some of its most iconic music. It was also the golden era of original pop and rock in Singapore with bands like the Crescendos and The Quests outselling the Beatles!" 

On 7 October 2023 the Synth Commune of Singapore threw a party in tribute to these times, but with their own twist where music from Singapore's 60s, 70s, 80s era came alive in a whole new Electronica format!


THE MUSICIANS

Abyss Simian (Ben Ang) on Korg Keytar and Ableton Push 3

Michael Spicer on Arp Odyssey

Falling Islands (Tan E-Reng) on Elektron Syntakt, Elektron Digitakt, Arturia Minifreak
