You’d think that if you bounce around parties over an extended stint, you surely would’ve seen everything by now. But then up pops an unexpected encounter that blows expectations out of the water like a spout through a whale’s blowhole. When it comes to the influx of events trying to break through lately, the bittersweet feeling of scene saturation is heavy, casting a net of safe-ness and samey-ness that lingers like a curse. So when you chance upon a pop-up that describes itself as a “mindf*ck ADHD sensory overload art rave”, you bet it’s gonna cut through the clutter and shake things up. Unapologetically, that’s the blithe methodology of SORRY NO CURE.
Rustling the hive mind of the scene with apropos shock tactics, SORRY NO CURE organises its sophomore appearance – it debuted with a KTV rave last year – on 19 July, taking over unorthodox art gallery UltraSuperNew for the venue’s monthly contemporary performance and gathering night dubbed Ultrasound. And unlike more regular events with somewhat fixed musical programming, SORRY NO CURE’s sound strategy involves a mixed bag of ambient, harsh noise, K-pop, breakcore, trance, hyperpop, gabber and whatever tickles the imagination of its unbound orchestrators.
This curveball caper is curated by TZECHAR, self-professed weirdos who will be performing a 1v1 live audiovisual piece, and a 2v1 b2b DJ/VJ set with Syndicate and White Label Records veteran, Darren Dubwise. TZECHAR will also be cooking up a visual feast with b2b VJ-ing all night with BCUBE honcho Master Ang. Also slotted on the lineup are the provocative and rebellious alt-club sounds of GTHB and Godkorine, and an invasion by glitchcore/hyperpunk upstarts known as SCUMBOYS who will be debuting a bubblegum-focused sub-unit called wiiwuu!!stuffie.
I’m gonna be frank and admit that even I’m not entirely sure what to expect from this madcap gathering. But if SORRY NO CURE offers an elixir that stirs a scene headed for insipidity, colour me excited.
Ultrasound: SORRY NO CURE, 19 July 2024, 9pm-3am, UltraSuperNew Singapore, 168 Tyrwhitt Road, Singapore 207572. Get your tickets here. Follow SORRY NO CURE on Instagram for more details.
