With so many great party places vying for your attention, it can be hard to know just where you should be spending your precious weekend nightlife hours. That’s why every week we put together a list of what we think will be the top party spots for Friday and Saturday night, so you can waste less time at lame gigs and more time getting your groove on.
LOUISAHHH!!! at Fitzroy
LOUISAHHH!!! (born Louisa Pillot) is a New York bred, Paris based DJ and vocalist. She started sneaking into New York City clubs with fake IDs and since then she has honed her style into something “hard but deep, tough but tender.” She’ll be spinning the decks at the almost-always fun Fitzroy. To get a taste of her sound, check out her set at Paris’ famous Boiler room
Starts at 9pm. Fitzroy GastroBar, Jl. Gunawarman 30. 0821-1111-2410
“RELOAD: Javabass 14th Anniversary” at Monstore Bar
Monstore has hosted some wicked parties in Kemang but now its time is coming to an end. The 14th Anniversary of the legendary Javabass parties is as fitting a send-off as any the bar could hope for. With one floor dedicated to vinyl and one to Nu-skool drum ‘n’ bass, this will definitely be a shindig that’ll get the hipsters hopping.
Starts at 10pm. Monstore Bar, Jl. Kemang Raya 72C. 0813-1890-5656
Agnes Monica at Colosseum
Indonesia’s biggest international breakout star, Agnes “Coke Bottle” Monica will sing and strut her stuff for her countrymen at an intimate show at Colosseum this Sat.
Starts at 10pm. Colosseum, Jl. Kunir No 7. 0822-7000-1001
“Churchhill” feat. DJ Tom Swoon at Empirica
Empirica definitely has a look unlike any other nightlife spot in Jakarta, its white-walled town facade turned into a canvas for the club’s custom video mapping setup. This Saturday they’re going to things a step further by turning the club into a “majestic cathedral,” though we’re not entirely sure what that’s going to involve besides perhaps video-mapping crosses onto the wall. The priest for the party will be Polish DJ Tom Swoon
Starts at 10pm. Empirica, Kawasan Niaga Terpadu Sudirman (SCBD) Lot 8, Jl Jend. Sudirman Kav 52-53. 02151400388 / 0812 9008 0841
