The name Cafe aA has always been under debate — some call it a cafe, others call it a museum, and there are even some people who consider this venue a showroom for designer’s furniture.

What’s up, SeoulGrid? The World Cup is finally upon us, and even if you’re not a soccer fan, you’d be a fool to miss out — Korea loves their soccer, and the whole city’s going to be partying like crazy on Saturday night as Korea plays their first match against Greece.
So if you stay in this weekend, you’re making a tremendous error. But just knowing when party isn’t enough — you need to know where to party! And to find and where to party during the world cup, I consulted a team of around 10 experts (read: Koreans). So where are the biggest World Cup party hotspots? Read on to find out what I learned.

This guy’s style is just plain cool. It’s a heavily percussive kind of minimal techno with twinges of industrial and traditional drumming.
