One of DJ Mag’s “Top 5 DJs to Watch” last year, international house mafia Max Vangeli shares his drunk experiences with Mandy Lynn.

I sing in the shower… all the time!

When I’m drunk… I drink some more to balance myself out, and then try not to fall down!

Amazing musicians… blow my mind.

When I was young, I wanted to be… a professional hockey player.

The biggest challenge in spinning a mix is… not to get too drunk and f**k it up.

I would kill for… a Grammy.

My worst habit is… taking life too seriously.

I love… beautiful people.

If I had a million dollars… who says I don’t?

My biggest pet peeve is… when people tell me what to do.

I get bored when… people surrounding my dinner table are whack.

I’ve done way too many embarrassing things in my life to remember… but itusually involves me being drunk in some way or another.

Any special remixes or exclusives for Zouk punters… I’ll be spinning all the tracks from our brand new album!

Max Vangeli will be spinning July 6 at Zouk.

Tired of high-end bars that burn a hole in your wallet faster than you can knock back beer? Check out these cool hostels in Singapore that have their own in-house bars.

Betel Box Hostel
Housed in a traditional Singaporean shophouse, this bar features a communal area where you can relax and people-watch. It serves 30 beers, including an assortment of Chimay beers (from $16)—a rare find. It also has a variety of sweet beers by Kopparberg ($18 for 330ml) and Brother’s ($12 for 500ml). Our pick? Brother’s toffee apple ($12 for 500ml)—great for an after-dinner tipple.

Fernloft Hostel
Popular among backpackers, this hidden gem has a bar that serves drinks at a price that’s hard to beat. While its beer labels are nothing to rave about—think Hoegaarden and Victoria Bitter (both at $10)—all drinks get 20 percent off during happy hour (4-9pm daily, excluding Saturday). You can even get selected brands for $1 when you order the second bottle. Now we’re talking.

Prince of Wales
With live music entertainment available every night along with half-priced beers, this place tends to get crowded. We like the Australian microbrews from the Grand Ridge Brewery—Cooper’s pale ale and Little Creatures Bright—and the selection of ciders, spirits and even shooters (from $10). Happy hours run from 9am to 9pm daily with bottled beers, house wines and spirits priced at $8.

Headhunted by Ministry of Sound, the man behind dance floor hit “DJ You Got My Love” checks in with Mandy Lynn.

I would kill for… Transmission Audio’s Ultimate speaker system.

It blows my mind when… I have beef flavored McCoy crisps.

My worst habit is… not taking the rubbish out when it’s due.

If I had a million dollars…
I would be chilling in my “big” house making music and going on holidays at least twice a year.

If I were an animal, I’d be… the king of the jungle—a lion.

When I was young, I wanted to be… a fighter pilot.

Avalon punters can expect… new material, new sounds, new directions. I will rock the joint.

Richard Dinsdale spins June 29 at Avalon.

Having played at over a thousand international gigs, Cosmic Gate—Nic Chagall and Stefan Bossems—are veterans in the electro dance music scene, renowned for hit singles “Not Enough Time” and “Body of Conflict”. Mandy Lynn has a quick chat with the dynamic duo.

As a child… we were wild.

We can play… the piano.

Fashion is… a way of expressing yourself.

We like it rough when… it comes to beats.

When we're old… we still want to have a good time.

We often fantasize about... more time for vacation.

Our poison is... vodka.

We dance… every single time we spin.

We're commonly mistaken for... trance DJs?!

We can't imagine a world without... music.

The best thing about being a DJ is... we don’t need to queue for club entry!

Feel the ground move under your feet as Cosmic Gate tears up the dancefloor with futuristic mixes this June 22 at Zouk.
