Jackson Wang gives Singapore a night to remember at TEAM WANG records (Human Remix) show

There are regular parties, and then there are parties thrown by Jackson Wang

This is what the crowd in Marquee nightclub (on 6 August 2022) is about to discover. 

It is still a couple of hours from the commencement of the multihyphenate's TEAM WANG records (Human Remix) showcase, but the largest nightlife venue in Singapore is already jam-packed with party-goers who are awaiting his arrival.

A palpable sense of excitement permeates Marquee as those in attendance, some sporting TEAM WANG apparel, scour the three-story club for the best spots to view the night's event.

Playful messages directed at the superstar elicit laughter from the crowd, but they only momentarily draw its attention away from the DJ booth where the 28-year-old is expected to make his appearance. 

Around 1:30 am, an instantly recognisable figure donning a pair of shades and clad in a stylish all-black outfit emerges and sends party-goers into a frenzy. 

"What's up, Singapore! It's TEAM WANG right here. Singapore. 2022. Are you ready?" exclaims Wang, who has made history by becoming the first international celebrity to host a party at Marina Bay Sands-based nightclub since it opened its doors in 2019.

Through a selection of hits, including Wang's 'TITANIC' and 'Papillon', the resident DJ of the club warms up the crowd and gets the party going. 

When the second act of Human Remix, Singaporean beatboxing phenomenon Dharni, takes the stage, it is clear that the audience wants Wang to join the action too.

As his name is chanted by party-goers, the GOT7 member gestures to his ears and points at Dharni to divert their attention to him. 

Those watching respond by giving the two-time Grand Beatbox Battle winner their undivided attention as he treats them to an astonishing beatboxing display. 

Meanwhile, Wang can be spotted filming Dharni's performance on his phone with a look of amazement. 

While most are familiar with Wang's artist and performer side, the hat that he has chosen to wear tonight is that of a leader and mentor. And as every good leader and mentor understands, the team always comes first. 

His conduct during the next two performances, by up-and-coming vocalists Laurie and XENZU, exemplifies this. 

As the artists from RYCE Entertainment — which TEAM WANG records partnered with earlier this year — showcase a mix of tunes from their discography as well as unreleased ones, Wang is more than content to play a supportive role. 

From introducing them to the audience to joining them on stage, Wang's gestures make it clear that he wants everyone to remember the rising talents. At the end of their performances, Laurie and XENZU, who were unfamiliar names just a while ago, are treated to deafening cheers from the crowd. 

"I don't know the ability that I have and I don't know how powerful or how impactful [my work] will be; but what I'm trying to do is trying to share. As much as I love learning about other cultures, I really love sharing our own culture with the world. I have a platform right now to do this and honestly, I don't know until when I'll have this, you know," Wang told Bandwagon in an interview earlier this year. 

Organised to encourage artists across different fields and industries to "connect, inspire, and remix their thoughts and vision", Human Remix is an initiative that leverages on the TEAM WANG founder's reach and resources to bring him a step closer to achieving his objective.

Following a concluding set from music producer and Wang's frequent collaborator, BOYTOY, Wang and his team remain behind to continue partying, much to the delight of everyone.

Then, armed with a fog gun, the magic man himself climbs onto the stage and fires a stream of fog into the crowd. It is a joyous moment that encapsulates an unforgettable party which will surely become the subject of all future fanfictions.
