.CENT is an international, biannual, style publication, distributed across 11 countries. Past editors have included musician and producer Andrew Weatherall, fashion designer Roland Mouret and product designer Sam Hecht. For the Spring/Summer 2010 Issue, Keith Reilly, (Creative Director of Club fabric and matter) is the guest editor, so expect a dynamic range of topics out of his theme Sense of purpose.

Even though we are miles away from london, we are still a big fan of him. A quote of him from the following 2006 article speaks volume of the belief and commitment that his team has to club policy and forward-thinking music.

Madonna’s not been turned away three times, that’s a load of nonsense, she hasn’t, but we have refused to cater for what she asked for,” Keith explained.

She wanted to come here [Fabric] with then of her own security plus a big entourage and take over half the VIP lounge. I don’t want that. I’m not going to displace our regulars. What’s more important to me than Madonna is the spotty faced kid from Norwich who’s fucking cycled down here for the club. That’s actually happened, someone cycled here all the way from Norwich. He came for the music and he’s more important to me than her, because she wasn’t coming here to listen to the music; the only reason she wanted that big entourage was because it was all about making a big appearance and entrance. Look at me. Other people have come down here and wandered round the club, everyone from Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bono and Keither Sutherland, they didn’t give a shit and they had no problems - Via Inthemix.com.au

While gawking at the Blue Steel models of a men's magazine, we chanced upon an article featuring our local DJ hero, Brendon P. The following is an excerpt from his telling observation of the club music-scape in Singapore.

Electro, Top 40s and hip hop are now the mainstay in many clubs and bars. Even many trance acts are moving towards remixes of Top 40 hits, like Tiësto working with the Black Eye Peas. I'm not saying this is neccessarily bad for the clubbing scene in Singapore - the underground sounds of house, breaks, techno and trance would not be possible without the 'overground' mainstream sounds of disco, pop and rock that are sampled. But when club owners and investors get too caught up with the dollars and cents of a night out, it means the DJs have to keep their music safe. And that means clubbers are likely to find the exact same music everywhere they go - Pg 50, AUGUST MAN Magazine, March 2010
