Oasis Lounge 2nd Anniversary

In the past two years, Oasis Lounge in Miyakojima has earned a reputation for hosting great club events that focus on the DJs who are playing and the people who love their music. Even though Oasis is best known for its progressive house/ tribal parties, other events featuring genres such as breaks, drum n' bass, club jazz, reggae and hip hop are also regularly held. Whatever the event or type of music, the formula remains the same: the best DJs, great music and a party vibe that is like nowhere else in Osaka. The DJs on hand for the 2nd Anniversary Party will be the "Progression" event residents Dan, I-Bec, Lee, Shawn & Ian spinning the best that progressive music has to offer. If you like underground music parties, you are sure to love this one!

6/10(SAT) @ OASIS LOUNGE
Time: 10pm • Entry: Free • DJs: Dan, I-Bec, Shawn, Ian
