White Label Records

Bars that play good tunes are far and few between in Singapore (there are only so many times we can endure Chainsmokers and Twenty One Pilots, much less on loop), and with the highly likely demise of iconic music hotspot Blu Jaz Cafe coming soon, things are looking bleak for those of us who are fussy about our background music. Literally shining a light in the poorly lit district of Ann Siang Hill, White Label is a welcome refuge for those with a bit more refined taste than the hoi polloi that may frequent the vicinity. This time, good music is put front and center — and that’s because the venue is a proper record store by day and a bar by night. Also, it’s one with legitimately good sound systems.
