14 AUGUST, SINGAPORE – In conjunction with the upcoming season of the Singapore Grand Prix, Zouk will be gearing up to go full throttle with Checkpoint – a three day after party inspired by the golden-age of 8-bit video games. Held across the F1 weekend from 14 – 16 September, the line-up starts with resident veteran Hong’s CODE on Friday, Dutch DJproducer luminary R3HAB and throwback special, Total Recall on Saturday, and a special performance by UK R&B crooner, Jay Sean plus special guest to close the series on Sunday. Aimed to evoke a sense of nostalgia reminiscent of the joystick and button-mashing days, expect a rad race down memory lane with visuals and photo opportunities drawn from the favourite retro games.

Performing as part of the F1 special, one can expect to be hit by a double-edge of smooth vocals and exhilarating DJ set on 16 September.
