SaturdaySelects Residency(003) with Sivanesh

A staple in Singapore’s nightlife, Sivanesh on his real name Sivanesh Pillai it is a fixture at some of the city’s hippest spots, through his residency at CÉ LA VI at the iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel and with regular guest DJ outings at The Council, Tanjong Beach Club, and Kilo Lounge. Regional attention started coming through after a well-received set at Cercle’s debut Asia show with The Martinez Brothers in November 2019, eventually leading to bookings at the Wonderfruit Festival in Thailand, W Hotel and Iron Fairies in Kuala Lumpur. His sound goes beyond current trends in genres and is held together by equal amounts of groove and soul.
While 2021 continues to hold many uncertainties for the live music scene, Sivanesh and his partner Lilian Hautemulle have launched Sivilian Affairs, a project that is focused on intimate parties with an emphasis on collaboration, inclusivity and having fun.

guest mix for BLACKOUT BROADCAST II (September 2020)

@sivaneshpillai

Despite having to lay low in 2020 due to the global pandemic that has kept Singapore’s nightlife at an absolute lull all year, Sivanesh was able to round off his 2019 with a well-received set at Wonderfruit in Thailand, which inspired him to co-launch Sivilian Affairs with partner Lilian Hautemulle, where the pair would focus on intimate parties with minority talent from within Singapore and across Asia. We’re hoping to see Sivilian Affairs come back to life along with the rest of Singapore’s underground diaspora so DJs like Sivanesh can drop impeccable sets like he’s just done for this week’s episode of Mixmag Asia Radio.

Mixmag Asia Radio 039: Sivanesh

It’s hard to pin Sivanesh’s style down. 

Citing seminal American producers ‘Mood II Swing’ as an early musical influence, Sivanesh's diverse playlists are held together by equal amounts of groove and soul.

While building connections across the region and learning the intricacies of the live music business, his long-standing residency at CÉ LA VI Singapore saw him taking charge of the world-renowned main room and delivering extended DJ-sets every Sunday night, and was a huge part of developing his brand of sultry off-kilter house and groovy heads-down techno. 

Through this residency, Sivanesh has been a guest at some of the region’s most respected venues, with regular dates at The Headquarters and Kilo Lounge in Singapore penciled every month, and recent regional gigs at the W Hotel and Iron Fairies in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

His roots will always be house, but being open-minded and anchored in the belief that only quality matters and genres do not, he is always aware of what the room needs and that may be his best trait. 

After ending 2019 with a well-received DJ set at the Wonderfruit festival in Thailand, at the start of the New Year, together with his partner Lilian Hautemulle he co-launched Sivilian Affairs, an organization focused on intimate parties with an emphasis on minority local and regional talents. 

Unfortunately, like every aspect in the nightlife industry, their inaugural party (Make Your Move.) was affected by the ongoing global pandemic. This unexpected delay has given them time to pause and fine-tune the blueprint.

While the rest of 2020 holds many uncertainties for the live music scene, one thing to be sure is that Sivanesh will continue his journey within the dance music scene, staying true to his ethos to surprise and delight.
