Cambodia Underground Club guide 16th Feb 2014
Welcome back! Our first club guide of 2014 appears a little late – quite frankly we’re all still recovering from the madness of the Phnom Penh Underground presents High Rise NYE party, which was just about as epic a party as you’ll see in PP. Pictures and a video are up on the site, so you can relive the crazyness
Ok, so lets have a look at this weekend – too many nights to fully mention here, so just the highlights – for the full line-up, check our events calendar
The big news on the PP clubscene is the soft opening of Code Red this thursday (exclusive interview with founder Eddie Newman here) They’re kicking off proceedings with DJs Bree, Stroke and the excellent Alan Ritchie. Full opening is on friday, but come and check out whether Code lives up to the hype! (https://www.facebook.com/events/272164599598358/)

The big night to look out for is the return of Phnom Penh Underground presents HighRise at the Terrace.
After the mega success of NYE, we’re ready to give you the very best of Phnom Penh’s DJs – no past it “International DJs” looking to supplement their pensions, just the cream of the city’s underground talent.
