Heart Beat is collaborating with the Institut Français to fly in Concrete Paris resident and the personification of the French Techno scene, Antigone. Embodying the sensibilities of the genre, while sounding distinct from the hordes of techno tracks that swamp the market, Antigone balances ambience with an imposing sense of space.

Born Antonin Jeanson in Corsica, the Vietnam dates will be part of a wider Southeast Asian tour that will be his first gigs in the region.

“I feel very excited about this tour,” he says. “I have been preparing myself for almost two months. I want to give the best of me because I feel very honoured to play in all these countries.”

Antigone will be supported by OKO and Chris Wolter, and doors will open at 9pm. Entrance is free before 11pm and VND150,000 thereafter. The Observatory is at 5 Nguyen Tat Thanh, Q4, HCMC./.
