All aboard! Over 10 DJs and live acts will take over a docked ship in Charoenkrung Soi 80 where they’ll play till sunrise. Local faves Cut the Crab, Yellow Fang and Cyndi Seui perform live on deck, while the likes of Dave Aju, Kenneth Scott and Superstar Panda take turns at the DJ stage, all set amid analogue visuals by Lingdum. If you can remember how heavy things got last year; fear not, there’s breakfast at five in the morning.
Onra Live Set @ Grease
French DJ Arnaud Bernard, aka Onra, once described his music as a pizza with spring rolls, which sounds strangely tasty to us. We’re big fans of the retro Vietnamese-tinged hip-hop vignettes of his Chinoiseries releases. With support from DJs Mighty NP, Pichy and Boogie G.
Heems @ Cosmic Café
Known for his impish anti-racist manifesto and being half of provocative duo Das Racist, American rapper Himanshu Suri aka Heems, from Queens, first had a career in finance after finishing a degree in economics. That might just explain the seriousness beneath his fun, often funny tunes which can be heard at this gig by Popscene.
