Jameson, the world’s most iconic Irish Whiskey, presents the next chapter of its city-spanning Jameson Distilled Sounds events, this time taking over The Zhongshan Building, next to Chinatown, KL. This edition will celebrate the release of Jameson’s latest limited-edition bottle, designed in collaboration with global Music Distiller and multi-Grammy-winning artist Anderson .Paak, while giving Southeast Asian talents a platform to share their sound. With 18 artists, the Jameson Distilled Sounds takeover hits Saturday, 17 May 2025, from 6PM till late.
Spanning indie, electronic, funk, soul, and deep house, the lineup offers a raw take on Southeast Asia’s sound, distilled, defiant, and deeply collective. Performances will take place at The Courtyard, a space more often known for sourdough than subwoofers, doubling by day as a bakery. From Thailand, NOTEP blends ambient electronica with organic textures for a soulful, genre-fluid journey that’s both meditative and modern. Malaysia’s Talitha Tan brings smooth indie R&B pop and heartfelt lyrics, perfect for anyone who's loved hard and vibes harder. Saint Kylo, a powerhouse of R&B and funk, turns up the energy with infectious grooves and magnetic stage presence. Also taking the stage: the introspective stylings of Su San, Daaliah’s groove-forward DJ set, X.U’s electronic edge, and Kent Lee, who adds a live handpan layer for a hypnotic, textured experience.
Catch the skyline and the sound as No One, Sheryn, Raven, Diorck, and B from Manipulated Mood Group take over the Kantata rooftop. Expect high-octane DJ sets that move from hypnotic builds to full-blown bangers—a golden hour session that sets the tone for the night ahead.
Indie tastemakers Chaseylain and Ribut 1059 of Twilight Actiongirl (TAG) return with eclectic DJ sets that nod to their roots in KL’s alternative scene, closing the night in Kantata with a special B2B that blends nostalgia with fresh sonic twists. Plus, swing by Poppy Records in the Zhongshan Annexe for a one-day-only promo, buy 1 Limited Edition Jameson x Anderson .Paak bottle and get a vinyl record of your choice, on them.
Over at Triptyk, the energy shifts into cocktail-hour mode as music and mixology collide. Expert mixologists Angel Ji and Steve Foo serve up curated Jameson signatures with a musical twist to her already famous cocktails, soundtracked by Viene’s deep club cuts and Vanns Ngo’s driving house.
This is an open-invite night. Register online now for free entry. Arrive before 8PM; first 200 guests through the door get a complimentary Jameson Ginger Ale & Lime to kick things off smooth.
