Any anime diehards out there? (Credit: All images courtesy of cawfeeMIX!!)

Does the idea of an event that fuses anime soundtracks with party music make you go waku waku? Going full-on with this unorthodox concept is cawfeeMIX!!, aggrandising a diverse local scene that never ceases to amaze. They’ve established a characteristically maximalist approach combining the over-the-top extremities of anime with the intricacies of club sounds, bridging the gap between niche communities who wouldn’t normally mingle under normal circumstances. Talk about a fascinating crossover clash.

Bringing your own glow-stick to a cawfeeMIX!! bash is highly recommended

The appeal of cawfeeMIX!! lies in its mixture of contemporary genres with the Japanese pop culture phenomenon. For sure, you’ll catch DJs dropping plenty of saccharine productions with dramatic chordal shifts, kawaii accents and Hatsune Miku-style vocals that would summon an army of glowstick dancers. But within all that gloss, you’ll find influences of future bass, chiptune, hip-hop, wonky and house, all channelled via esoteric edits and off-kilter gems excavated by residents. cawfeeMIX!! – which has been around as early as 2019 – often collaborates with like-minded affiliates too, inviting international DJs from Japan and other local guest acts and collectives like Golden Mix (Singapore’s largest anikura event; yes there’s more of them).

Well seeing is believing, and you have a chance to witness this cawfeeMIX!! movement on 14 December when they take over Ruby Lounge at The Projector at Cineleisure. Now on their 12th edition – or volume, as they call it – the promoters are bringing down two special acts from Korea, TAK and CHUYO, with a cawfeeMIX!! crew of 10SAI, Vanille A, yungbentai and WINDY. They’ll all be going bankai on the decks for you to unleash your inner anime animal on the dan-da-dan-dancefloor.
