FRIDAY 20 | DJ Sequence, along with comparably pseudonymmed collaborators (plus The Advisor’s Best DJ of 2013, Simon C Vent, pictured) has set up an online space for Cambodia’s classier DJs and producers to publicise their offerings. And tonight, PhnomPenhUnderground.com dons physical form for its launch at Meta House. Having gone live just weeks ago, the Phnom Penh Underground website is already garnering 5,000 hits a month, proving there are indeed a lot of people out there who are more into the quality of the vibe than the quantity of the beer. “The site is something of a public service,” says Sequence, whose other aim is – well-intentioned cliché warning – to “bring people together with the universal language of music”. Harking back wistfully to the glory days of the early ’90s, Sequence remembers how acid house and rave united clubbers from all social strata. Phnom Penh Underground’s longer-term aim is to recreate that here in the Charming City. Joining DJ Sequence at the decks tonight are danbeck (from Kimchi Collective) and Tonle Dub & Mercy (Tech-Penh).
