Coiling up to join him will be BONZAI BONNER, a singular talent from Glasgow, who is the driving force behind Shoot Your Shot — the iconic LGBTQ+ party that has propelled leftfield dance music in Scotland. Fresh off appearances at Berghain’s Panorama Bar, Fabric London, Sisyphos Berlin, Yamamori Tengu, Electrowerkz, Sub Club, and many more, Bonner will make his Asia debut with a sleek and venomous intrigue inspired by punk, EBM, and synth-pop.
Finally, our own JUSTFIN will gently sink his fangs in to inject his signature warm grooves into the night. Fresh off a breakout year scaling up his label Just Fish Wax, and an acclaimed release on the top Thai minimal label More Rice, Fin’s set is sure to be properly serpentine, playful, and enveloping.

It was in 2018 when Fin first thought about mixing music. Always a lover of eclectic sounds, it was living in Shanghai when he first experienced the draw of a record store – yet still, despite being a regular on the dancefloor, electronic music, specifically, was not on his mind. This initial interaction, deep dives into Jazz and Hip Hop, trying to see if they work together, this laid the foundation for Fin’s blended electronic affair. Soon after moving to Cambodia and launching Egg Baguette, a techno orientated night in Siem Reap, the move to Phnom Penh was made.
