December 31, 2025 Countdown Night

For the official ICONSIAM News Year Countdown 2025/2026, DJ Paul Sirisant joined forces with yaboihanoi and kidbuaksipp to deliver a veber before seen DJ-meets-dance-and-visuals experience. The hour long set took listeners on a journey through remixed Thai lukthung classics, heavy bass tracks and mashups all tighly synchronized with visuals and dance. We took inspiration from the story of Suthon-Manorah and combined music-lights-visuals-dance-projections to reimagine this story for contemporary audiences.

กรุงเทพมหานครKrungthep Mahanakorn

The lyrics of the song you hear is actually the full name of Bangkok in Thai (168 letters in length and holds a Guinness World Record) which translates to the city of angels. I’m so glad Paul threw this track onto my radar to do something fun with. Together with @kidbuoksip, we choreographed the music, lights, visuals and dance to signify angels descending upon Bangkok to wish everyone a happy new year!

มโนราห์หนีไฟManorah's Fiery Escape

This scene is a contemporary interpretation of the story Phra Suthon-Manorah (พระสุธนมโนราห์), where the bird-maiden Manorah (มโนราห์) is about to be sacrificed in a raging fire but courageously flies off in a daring escape.

สุธนตามหามโนราห์Suthon In Search For Manorah

This part is a modern take on the story of Phra Suthon-Manorah (พระสุธนมโนราห์), where Suthon (สุธน) is in search of his lover, Manorah (มโนราห์). His journey lasts for 7 years, 7 months, and 7 days, testing his character and true love against treacherous mountains, forests, and seas.

สุธนมโนราห์พบรักกันใหม่Suthon & Manorah's Reunion

This part was a modern take on the story of Phra Suthon-Manorah (พระสุธนมโนราห์), where Suthon (สุธน) is finally reunited with his lover, Manorah (มโนราห์). Manorah is a bird-maiden, a half-bird and half-human being known as a Kinnaree (กินรี) in Thai mythology.

เมดอินไทยแลนด์Made in Thailand Finale

The finale to our ICONSIAM show featured a medley of Thailand's performing arts, including โขน Khon, ลิเก Likay, หนังใหญ่ Nang Yai, มวยไทย Muay Thai, and many more. It's set to a mashup of the classic tune "Made in Thailand" by Carabao! I pulled a lot of stank face writing that bassline :)

ดาวมหาลัยDao Mahalai

ดาวมหาลัย (Dao Mahalai) is a luk thung classic (Thai country music) poking fun at city vs. rural lifestyles in Thailand through a young university student. One of my favorite track choices from @pauliesirisant! The Thai crowd went wild for this one!

Visuals Projection

Our visuals built on the succesful collection of dance-derived projects first premiered at SONAR Music Festival 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. We also created new landscapes to help tell the story of Suthon-Manorah and the various settings the story takes place in.
