From Gangs, Deaths to Billionaire Kids in $50K Booths Inside Australia’s Asian Club Scene
Description
In this episode, I sit down with Kiet Diep, the man behind TANG Group and some of the biggest Asian nightclub events in Australia.
We go deep into the chaotic early days — when gang violence, stabbings, and even deaths were part of the underground scene in the late '90s and 2000s. Kiet shares what it was like to navigate real danger, run high-risk venues, and still build a legacy.
But this isn't just a story about survival — it's about the rise.
We explore how the Asian scene flipped the script, becoming the most in-demand nights in the country. Young millionaires and billionaires dropping $10K to $50K on booths, arriving in Lambos and Ferraris, rocking the freshest designer fits — and making these nights legendary.
Kiet also opens up about his evolution — from event promoter to owning Ultra, launching multiple nightclubs, and now running a successful restaurant empire.
