Hi All,

I have just moved to Saigon from the UK with my girlfriend to teach English.

I am a big lover of all types of electronica but particuarly drum and bass/ dubstep / breakbeat / psytrance.

Tonight we went to Apocolypse Now as our introduction to Saigon nightlife. It had a great atmosphere and vibe, but the music was more cheesy chart dance which is not what I would usually look for in a club.

Does any one have any recommendations of clubs/ venues/ bars that have some good DJs and play some good beats? - The sort of thing you would find on a friday night in Fabric, London (if you know what I mean by that)

Also I DJed a bit in the UK and would be interested to know how easy it would be to get a couple of gigs here?

Any information about this would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Ben
