Mixmag Asia's standout snaps of 2024

As we hurtle toward the close of 2024, we're pausing for a moment to soak up the standout images that captured the lifeblood of the electronic music scene in Asia—and beyond.

From hi-energy festival crowds and fire spinners at the Half Moon Festival to quiet moments of sleep (Yes, sleep. We need it, too.), think of these 60+ standout images curated by the Mixmag Asia crew as a visual diary of moments throughout the year featured on our site.

It’s not just about the polished, high-definition shots (though there are plenty of those). These images showcase the raw energy, sense of community, and pure joy that make the underground scene a unique and vibrant space.

While many snapshots are rooted in Asia, we’ve also included highlights from global events. After all, how could we skip a piece of Glastonbury magic when South Asia debuted its first-ever dedicated stage? Or leave out Amsterdam Dance Event, especially with Mixmag Asia in the mix?

Expect some surprises along the way: DJ Harvey’s construction helmet, Max Durante on horseback in the Mongolian mountains, Black Pomade giddy over gacha machine, a coffin on a fashion show runway and a message from the Asia’s queer underground scene.
