Rifain’s sound is powered by an experimentalism that twists and turns through varied genres with a consistency that cloaks it in its own unique nature. His approach is one of absorption and redefinition, elegantly mixing seemingly divergent elements to guide a dancefloor into deep, downbeat darkness or an opaque dreamscape before rousing it into primal collective movement through fresh tribal energy. All being told, his sound is hard for even him to describe, as it’s in constant flux and evolution, intuitively reflecting setting and situation and the influences that happen to be inspiring him. As its main booker and cofounder, Rifain is a key figure of Savage nightclub in Hanoi, which over the last few years has turned into a key node of Asia’s underground club circuit. He also runs his own monthly night at the club - Slow Beats Disco - which despite its name is less focused on a specific genre or bpm, but more on a collective intimacy and adventurous sonic exploration with delicacy at its core...

Mesmerized by the sounds of TB-303, Russian-born Korean DJ Wasabae is taking over and bringing a dark and seductive atmosphere to the dance floor.

Growing up in Moscow influenced by hip hop and old school love songs, Zwi finds his personal style resulting in a timeless sound that is as grimy as it is sensual. Expect a face-scrunching blend of dark and groovy from an avid digger showcasing introspective house, UKG, techno and electro. Zwi is resident DJ at Hanoi-based Savage and pushing the local party scene through METRØ.
