Still craving for more after Sigur Ros, M.I.A. and The Chemical Brothers round off each night at Clockenflap this weekend? Prep yourselves: the Flapping doesn’t stop at Central Harbourfront. Here the after parties are happening around town...
Cé La Vi Official After Party
This year’s Clockenflap is at Central Harbourfront, which means where better to bring the party than the heart of Lan Kwai Fong itself? The official after party this year is at Cé La Vi, and is free for all festivalgoers (or $100HKD on the door). Highlights include Hong Kong DJ Janette Slack; George Clinton’s Parliament Funkadelic veteran/Prince collaborator Amp Fiddler; Edwin Congreave from indie band Foals; and The Sugarhill Gang’s DJ Dynasty, who’ll be spinning some old school hip hop (expect actual old school, not stuff from 2006).
Vinyltopia

Hong Kong DJ stalwarts FunKey, The Sweet Talk Crew and JayMe will be behind the decks.
