Club Scene

Roaring with Rivera
House DJ Sandy Rivera jets in from the music-fuelled streets of Brooklyn to Bangkok’s Live RCA tonight. A deck maestro whose formative beginnings were consumed with a passion for sounds like Spanish funk, hip-hop beats, early electro and the burgeoning explosion of house, he is today regarded as one of the scene’s finest with a string of global hits under his belt. Entry is free before 10pm, and a group of six gets a free bottle of vodka.
 
Bongos and beats
Percussionist extraordinaire Num T-Bone jams with resident DJ Alex Fischer for a house music session with tribal flavours tonight at Oskar Bistro on Sukhumvit Soi 11 as he returns to the club for a monthly residence. Entry is free. Call (02) 255 337.

 Down in the depths
