HCM CITY — With just three weeks to go until Southeast Asia’s top dance music festival, HCM City is getting a sneak peak at the action.

The 11-day long Epizode festival starts on December 27 in Kien Giang Province’s and HCM City bar Bam Bam is hosting a warm-up party tonight.

Located in District 1, Bam Bam is one of the newer additions to the city’s nightlife scene and has quickly won a reputation for throwing events that create a unique vibe, perhaps why it’s been chosen for the Epizode world tour.

The free entry party kicks off at 8pm and will feature two DJs set to perform at Epizode proper on Phu Quoc Island in Levi Oi and Sancho.

Sancho is part of the crew behind the Moscow-based label BodyParts and will bring his atmospheric grooves to the dance floor, while Levi Oi is one of the hottest up-and-coming Vietnamese DJs in the city.

Entry is free, for more information check out the Facebook event.

The fourth edition of Epizode is again jam-packed with top DJs, including British Hessle Audio co-founder Ben UFO, Chilean-German groove master Ricardo Villalobos and Italian composer and multi-instrumentalist Giorgia Angiuli, to name a few.
