Cambodia Underground Club Guide 17th July 2014
Its been a great couple of weeks, club-wise – we hear excellent reports of the Pete Herbert/Kimchi Collective night at CodeRed – big turnout and a great night was had by all….also getting amazing reports from the Tippa Irie/Wat a Gwaan night at the Slur Bar…some heavy reggae vibes!
Our big news is that we now have 1500 (real, not bought) likes for our Facebook page – apparently this means we get a special medal from Mark Zuckerberg himself….
Other news is that our good friend (and excellent DJ) FunkElastiks is leaving Phnom Penh…but he’s only going to Sihanoukville to be a yacht captain! Axel will still be running the awesome Full Moon Parties on Koh Rong Saloem and we wish him loads of luck in Sville!
We’ve also heard a little rumour that excellent UK Breaks DJs Krafty Kuts might be coming to Phnom Penh some time soon…no details yet but watch this space!
Ok, so lets have a look at this weekend – too many nights to mention here, so we’re going to concentrate on the one-off nights – for the full line-up with all the fantastic regular nights, check our events calendar.
