Jameson presents distilled sounds and a new limited edition bottle

Iconic Irish Whiskey Jameson presents the next chapter of its city-spanning Jameson Distilled Sounds events, this time taking over The Zhongshan Building. 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, one stacked lineup, and endless vibes—the Jameson Distilled Sounds takeover hits May 17 from 6pm till late.

Jameson Distilled Sounds is both a global music programme and a local event series, sharing one name and one purpose: to connect a global music family across genres, borders, and subcultures—from Kuala Lumpur to Cork. Launched in 2024 with Anderson .Paak, the programme supports emerging talent worldwide by creating space for artists to collaborate, grow, and be heard. 

Malaysian singer-songwriter Claudia Tan is the first local artist selected to be mentored by .Paak as part of this ongoing commitment. Just as Jameson is triple distilled for smoothness, the Zhongshan Building edition brings together communities and styles with the same craft and character that define Jameson. 

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. 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. 

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 us.

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. Just when you think it’s winding down, think again — a surprise Hijack Session by a tech house DJ is set to dial things up one last time.

Triptyk curates a lineup of flavour-forward bites, perfectly paired with the smooth taste of Jameson Irish Whiskey. Savour Pixies & Vespers’ yakitori skewers, crafted to complement the signature zest of a Jameson, Ginger Ale & Lime. Calle Taco’s handheld bites are expected to bring the heat, while Kantata keeps the energy flowing with late-night comfort food that’s as bold as the beats.
