Cambodia Underground Club Guide 27th Feb 2014
The New Wave of Cambodian Clubbing continues with another awesome weekend last week. The Cuban Brothers played a riotous set at Code Red – looked like it was going to turn into a full blown orgy at some points (pictures here, courtesy of Kampuchea Party Republic)
DJ Per played 2 mesmerising sets down at Pontoon, whilst reports from the Kep Jungle Dance voted it as “the best ever”
We also released the results of our “What do YOU want to hear in Phnom Penh clubs” poll, which showed some surprising results…
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
