The Bangkok International DJ Festival

BANGKOK, Thailand — September 5th, 2006— Rio de Janeiro has its Carnival. Berlin has its Love Parade. Now get ready for the latest music festival on the international circuit – “The Bangkok International DJ Festival”! Two of Bangkok’s preeminent clubs are joining hands to create a week-long celebration of contemporary club music. From November 28th to December 4th a line-up of top international DJs will spin at these two pulsating establishments, cementing Sukhumvit Soi 11’s reputation as the entertainment heart of Bangkok, Thailand.

Never before in the history of Bangkok will so many big names in the world of clubbing come together under one umbrella. With people in Asia now savvy to what is hot and what is not, the roster will include major favourites as well as up-and-comers who are expected to tease the musical palates of local and international connoisseurs. Needless to say, this series of events will be the talk of the town. We are fully confident that clubbers will look forward to “The Bangkok International DJ Festival” from year to year, with a major proportion of patrons flying in annually especially for it.

“The Bangkok International DJ Festival” is expected to generate major press coverage both from overseas and local media, as Q Bar and BED SUPPERCLUB are already permanent fixtures on the regional party scene. The collective efforts of these establishments can only enhance their reputation and in effect enhance the reputation of Bangkok’s nightlife as a whole. Some of the big names slated to appear include Louie Vega, Jamie Lewis, Matty Heillbronn, Ben Sowton, Kid Massive, Axwell, DJ Akbar Sami, Stephane Pompougnac, DJ Heather, DJ Premier, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Nic Fanciulli, Funk Agenda, Doc Scott - and let’s not forget BED and Q Bar’s own resident DJs! Check out www.bkkdjfestival.com for details.

As well as the events in BED SUPPERCLUB and Q BAR, patrons may also enjoy a stay at our sponsor hotel, Dream – the epitome of Hautel Couture – where a special rate of $99 per night is being offered especially during the week of the festival. This brand new hotel is where the action takes place after the clubs wind down. Festival DJs will be staying here and the VIP after-parties will also be held at Dream. In addition to Dream, this week long DJ-fest has already garnered a number of other high profile sponsors, chief of which is Pernod Ricard, the distributor of premium Scotch whisky Chivas Regal as well as many other top selling liquor brands. Our current list of sponsors also includes Asia-City Publishing and Moby Elite. More sponsors are slated to come on board shortly.

We look forward to this festival being a spectacular success. In addition, part of the proceeds will be donated to Father Joe’s Human Development Foundation (www.mercycentre.org), so the week of fun is also going to be for a good cause. Join us as we raise the bar of the musical experience in Asia’s premier destination.

Bed Supperclub is best described as a unique combination of upscale restaurant, club, art gallery, theatre and stage merged into one. The white, minimalist interior of the restaurant was designed specifically to act as a three-dimensional canvas for each night’s events, which includes a regular theme change every two weeks with interactive performers, installations, singers or dancers.

Q Bar ushered in a new standard for bars and nightclubs in Thailand when they opened their doors in 1999. Resident DJ's spin the latest grooves from around the world - such as House, Hip-hop, Chill-out Lounge, and Soulful Jazz. The visually stunning club in a minimalist style, features black upholstered walls highlighted by vivid lighting, accented with retro '50s and '60s swivel chairs and leather sofas. Billed as the first New York style cocktail bar in the Thai capital, Q Bar stocks a huge variety of premium spirits and attracts an edgy, cosmopolitan crowd.
