The Absolut Mango House Festival 2012 kicks off today

PHUKET: The Absolut Mango House Festival 2012 kicks off today at 3pm with the ‘Sushi Lounge Party’ hosted by DJ Colin Edwards.

Colin is internationally known for his voice and immensely popular Funk It Up radio syndication show and his signature ‘soulful style’.

Colin will be joined by DJ Nutrip and celebrity Japanese chef Massa, for a saucy afternoon of sweet, sexy house music and fresh and sensuous sushi.

The festival runs for three days, March 7, 8 and 9, and is a popular event at the island’s annual cultural extravaganza, the Lanta Lanta Festival.

The Lanta Lanta Festival in Lanta Old Town is an annual cultural event that showcases the town’s cultural diversity. Its three distinct ethnic Thai groups – Chinese, Muslim and Sea Gypsy – have coexisted for over 200 years. The three-day event features an assortment of traditional food, beverage and entertainment.

The evening dance party, which last year attracted an average of 500 people each night will feature no less than five House Music DJs appearing back-to-back from 8pm to 2am at Mango House Bar + Restaurant in Lanta Old Town. The line-up includes Soul Heaven Record’s Neil Pierce, 2 Good Souls from the DJ decks of London’s famous Ministry of Sound dance club, Canada’s best resident beach DJ Tommy T, DJ Taz and DJ Q from the seriously funked-up Phuket House Mafia.

The Phuket Gazette is a sponsor of the Absolut Mango House Festival 2012
