Cambodia Underground Club Guide 25th April 2014
After a quiet Khmer New Year, the Cambodian club scene is back once again – as the High season dies, things will no doubt quieten down in the summer (and the PPUG crew will be travelling away from Phnom Penh for the summer) but there is still going to be a healthy scene going on – building on the foundation that has sprung up in the last year.
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

On Friday, over at MetaHouse, Vinyl Mania returns with their unique, 100% vinyl selection – as far as we know the only night in town that does this…Join Dr WahWah for a trip thru the spectrum of House via the medium of shiny black plastic! https://www.facebook.com/events/231207823752923/ |

At Pontoon, you’ve got a nice little double header of the RnB/HipHop supremos the Golden Crew in the main room, alongside DJ Mikus (ably supported by Funkelastiks and Shaman)- the other half of NUDISM spinning TechHouse- at Pontoon Pulse. Nice! https://www.facebook.com/events/538194862967531/ |

Saturday is all about the last Phnom Penh Underground presents HighRise until November! Since we started HighRise 6 months ago, its consistently been the best underground (albeit 7 stories up on a rooftop!) party around and we plan to go off with a bang!

Every Sunday, come worship at The Chapel – “A sensoral pleasure palace of flesh, occupied by some of the most alarming exhibitionists and gender terrorists of our times”with beats provide by provided by Rob Bianchetti and Alan Ritchie. |
Well, if you have any energy after that lot, looking towards next weekend and beyond, the calendar’s full of amazing events. As always, please let me know about underground events in PP, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, Kampot and beyond via our Facebook page or the website.
The big event that everyone’s looking forward to is WILD 2…
Following on from their excellent event in January, the event on May 3rd promises to be bigger and even better, with a stellar dj lineup. As to where its going to be, we can only guess – the only hints we have are that the recommended items to bring with you are: Towel, Swim Suit, Sun Glasses, Cash Money (NO ATM), Flip-flops, Change of clothes, bag/backpack to put all this in.
My moneys on it being on an enormous artificial pool that’s been especially constructed in the middle of the Mekong by giant robots – but I could be wrong….
The only way to find out will be on the day! Keep checking at https://www.facebook.com/events/549220381860354/
As I said at the top, loads of great events happening this weekend – for more details, check our events calendar and remember – keep it underground
PS – A blast from the past – 20 years ago if you can believe it! – but with a vibe that we totally need to bring to the Phnom Penh club scene in 2014….the sounds of Mickey Finn at the Jungle SoundClash in 1994 – rewind my selectah!
