Zaran Vachha

Zaran Vachha, founder of Collective Minds, has been spoiling Singapore with a flurry of underground events hosted by some of the biggest names in the music game. Since setting up the Asia-focused agency he has been instrumental in bringing the likes of of Nightmares on Wax, Shigeto, Daniel Caesar, Benji B, and others to perform in the often overlooked continent. Check out his guide to the city he now calls home.

This is a spot you go to at 3/4AM. It's a place you would have never imagined in Singapore. Nickname is 'four floors of whores," however, it's not as seedy as it sounds. Bands play your dad's favourite songs all night long and you bump into all sorts of people from families, travellers or visiting DJs. It's weird and wonderful all mixed into one.

Noodle shop by day - Japanese restaurant by night.

Get laksa, char kway teow, oyster omelette, chicken wings and black carrot cake.

This is weird and wonderful at the same time. Singapore Centre is split into 3 areas: Little India, Arab Ttreet and China Town. Each area has its on level of uniqueness to it.

Mustafa's is a shopping complex that is open 24 hrs and has everything that you need. I mean everything. Socks are placed next to lamps. Steaks next to watches. It's just an amazing experience. Go have a look for 15 mins and then eat the food that's around.

Saturday/Sunday only. BBQ, good music, food and margaritas.

My favourite tourist spot in Singapore. Having been open for over a decade, the park is half family tomb, half shop of horrors. The infamous Ten Courts of Hell features small-scale tableaux that show human sinners being punished in gory and graphic detail.

If you're a music lover this is your spot. It's by appointment only so ring ahead. You'll find old Cantonese disco tracks you never knew you couldn't live without.

Go here and stay for a while. The bartender will be playing music you've never heard before whilst you get nicely warm with high quality saka.

The best club in Singapore bringing the best music and entertainment. Benji B, Yasmin, Talib Kweli, Nubya Garcia, Chromeo, Breakbot have all played there. Make sure you look online to see whats going on. Buy tickets in advance, the queues are a bitch.
