Precious Bloom to headline RASA’s NYE event

RASA, Singapore’s newest community hub for music, arts, and culture, will host a dynamic New Year’s Eve celebration on December 31, 2024.

As a final preview ahead of its official January 2025 launch, this event will showcase Southeast Asian talent and offer attendees a first glimpse into RASA’s vision.

Headlining the event is Indonesian electronic music duo Precious Bloom, making their debut indoor live performance in Singapore.

Formed in Jakarta in 2022, Precious Bloom combines disco, psychedelia, and traditional Asian musical influences to create a sound that is both nostalgic and innovative. Their music, released on Amsterdam-based label Store Jams, bridges Southeast Asia’s rich musical heritage with contemporary electronic beats.

The duo comprises Adinda Dwimadadasari, a singer-songwriter known for her work in reviving Indonesian city pop with hypnotic rhythms and intricate vocal melodies, and Aradea Barandana, a producer inspired by obscure Asian film soundtracks and vintage global grooves.

Featuring a state-of-the-art TPI soundsystem and immersive lighting, the venue is designed for an unparalleled auditory experience.

Entry is S$30 at the door only.
