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.

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.
