In pictures: behind the scenes & centre stage at The Mixmag Lab Dhaka

There’s only so much we can say about the debut Mixmag Lab in Dhaka that’s not already said. The snippets may offer a glimpse into the highly anticipated night, but they only scratch the surface of the energy, atmosphere and sheer outpouring of support from the scene.

To offer a fuller view of what went down on June 13, 2025, we’ve curated a gallery of images that show some of our favourite moments.

From headliner moments to a behind-the-scenes peek of backstage preparations, and raw, intimate exchanges to sweeping crowd shots—each frame, captured by Bhai Bhai Productions and powered by Be Here Now, helps tell the full picture of something one-of-a-kind.

If you haven’t yet, make sure to watch Kadin’s dynamic set from the night; a masterclass of energetic beats and Bengali samples.

Reflecting on the night, he told us: “Playing at The Mixmag Lab Dhaka was a surreal experience. Getting to play my own music, seeing the people's reactions—never in my wildest dreams did I think something like this could happen in Bangladesh, but I'm so glad it did. We’ll never forget it.”
