Speaking on how BEAM has impacted the scene in Bangkok, Tanika Wyachai (Head of Marketing) and Brent Burns (Music Director) mention to Mixmag Asia: "Over the past decade, BEAM has been a cornerstone of Bangkok’s creative and music landscape, and even made ripples regionally. We set out not just to create crazy parties, but to blend audio excellence with a visual and physical experience (our vibrating dancefloor) that was ahead of its time. Through this journey, we’ve been honoured to see talents grow, and be a part of the beginnings of local teams, collectives, and labels."

Tanika and Brent also convey a message to the community that has supported BEAM from the beginning: "To everyone who’s been part of our story: thank you, truly and deeply. The past decade has been an incredible ride, and we owe it all to the community that let us become a home for shared passions and moments of self expression. Whether you came to lose yourself on the dancefloor or to find a piece of who you are, you made BEAM what it is."
"Please know that this isn’t goodbye. It’s a promise that the spirit we built together will live on in new ways. We’re endlessly grateful to every artist, producer, customer, dancer, designer, bartender, vendor, and friend who walked this path with us. You made this chapter possible, and we can’t wait to see where the next one leads," they add.
