Rave Residence Lands in Bangkok: Sian, Baccarat, and the Start of a New Chapter

On May 23, 2026, Rave Residence makes its Bangkok debut at Baccarat Bangkok. The headline act is Sian, the Irish producer who founded Octopus Recordings and has played Berghain, Movement, and Time Warp. Cameron Glasgow, the Rave Residence founder and Deep House Thailand resident, plays alongside BYAS, DJ Luk Khrueng, and Trankii Boy.

This is not a touring brand parachuting in for a one-off. Cameron is already embedded in Bangkok's melodic house scene, and Rave Residence's arrival adds a new global layer to a city that has been steadily building its own underground identity.

What Rave Residence is

Rave Residence is a global rave culture community built by Belfast-born DJ and producer Cameron Glasgow. What started in 2018 as a content page grew through lockdown into a 500,000+ follower community, a record label on Beatport, and an event series that has run across Europe and Southeast Asia.

Cameron's own release catalog spans 15+ tracks since 2020, covering afro house, melodic house, deep house, and organic house. His productions have received support from BBC Introducing, Shimza, Themba, Bicep, Joris Voorn, Kevin de Vries, and Maxi Meraki.

Where Deep House Thailand is a genre-specific community built around the deep, melodic, and afro house sound of the Thai scene, Rave Residence operates at a broader frequency: rave culture as a whole, genre-agnostic, with a global audience. Both communities run events, release music, and build audiences around their respective identities. The overlap is Cameron himself, who sits at the center of both.

Why Bangkok, and why now

Cameron Glasgow arrived in Bangkok and connected with the Deep House Thailand community early on. BYAS invited him for a back-to-back set, and that first collaboration lit something up. More bookings followed. After 10+ Deep House Thailand events, Cameron had found his footing in a scene that matched his energy, and the city had started to feel less like a stop and more like a base.

His brother Kyle's move to Bangkok added the final piece. With family on the ground and a scene already underneath him, the decision to relaunch Rave Residence from Bangkok became obvious. The brand had gone quiet intentionally. Cameron paused to reset, locked in the Sian collaboration, and waited for the right city. Bangkok, with its venue infrastructure, growing underground audience, and proximity to the wider Southeast Asia touring circuit, was it.

So will Rave Residence become the new Deep House Thailand? No. They occupy different lanes. DHT exists to bring a specific sound to Thailand that was missing before it arrived: deep, melodic, afro house. Rave Residence was always global, always genre-wide. What DHT gave Cameron was the stage to prove himself in Bangkok. What Rave Residence gives Bangkok is a direct line to a worldwide rave community that is watching.

Who Sian is

Sian is the stage name of Graham Anthony Goodwin, an Irish electronic music producer who founded Octopus Recordings in 2008. The label has become one of the most recognized imprints in the darker end of melodic techno and tech house, with a roster that consistently charts on Beatport and a catalog that runs deep across Diynamic, Realm, and Arcane.

Sian's DJ career includes sets at Berghain, Movement Detroit, Time Warp, and clubs across Europe and the Americas. He is not a festival headliner in the mainstream sense. He is a producer's producer, a name that signals credibility and programming taste when it appears on a bill.

Booking Sian for a debut night is a deliberate statement. It says Rave Residence Bangkok is programming for the underground, not for bottle service. The lineup is curated for people who know the music, and the headliner confirms that positioning.

The full lineup

Sian (Octopus Recordings)

Headline set. Founder of Octopus Recordings, veteran of Berghain, Movement, and Time Warp. Dark melodic techno and tech house. This is the booking that sets the tone for Rave Residence Bangkok's identity.

Cameron Glasgow (Rave Residence)

Cameron Glasgow is the Rave Residence founder and a Deep House Thailand resident DJ. Belfast-born, now based in Bangkok. 750K+ global streams, 15+ releases spanning afro house to melodic techno. Supported by BBC Introducing, Shimza, Themba, and Bicep.

BYAS

BYAS is the co-founder of Deep House Thailand and the curator behind the Vibe Agency playlist network. A regular at Baccarat, APT 101, and Spectrum Rooftop, he is one of the architects of Bangkok's melodic house scene. See the full BYAS event calendar for upcoming dates.

DJ Luk Khrueng

Bangkok-based selector bringing the groove for support duties. Known for sets that bridge deep house and world-influenced house music.

Trankii Boy

Rounding out the bill with a style that fits the Rave Residence ethos: underground-leaning, energy-forward, built for late sets.

What Baccarat brings to the table

Baccarat Bangkok is a primary partner venue for the Deep House Thailand events program. The venue has built a reputation for house music programming that balances premium production with underground credibility.

For Rave Residence, Baccarat offers two things that matter: a room that can handle a proper headliner booking, and an existing audience that already comes out for this kind of music. Cameron is not starting from zero. He is adding Rave Residence's international reach on top of a venue and a scene that already has momentum.

What this means for the Bangkok scene

Bangkok's underground house ecosystem has been shaped by a handful of independent brands. Adding Rave Residence to that ecosystem changes the math in three ways:

1. A global audience meets a local scene

Rave Residence brings 500K+ followers from a global rave community. Deep House Thailand and the wider Bangkok underground have been building audience locally and regionally. When Cameron puts a Bangkok event on the Rave Residence channels, it exposes the Bangkok scene to a worldwide audience that would not have found it otherwise.

2. International bookings get a second pipeline

DHT has been the primary channel for bringing international acts to Bangkok's house music venues. Rave Residence adds a second pipeline with its own booking relationships and reach. More channels with international connections means more consistent international talent rotating through Bangkok, its rooftop venues, and its club nights.

3. Two communities, one connector

DHT serves the deep, melodic, and afro house audience in Thailand. Rave Residence speaks to rave culture broadly, across genres and borders. Cameron sits at the intersection. Every Rave Residence Bangkok event feeds DHT audience growth, and every DHT night gives Rave Residence deeper roots in the scene it now calls home.

What you will hear

Expect the night to move through darker melodic techno territory during Sian's headline set, pulling from the Octopus Recordings catalog and his deeper Diynamic and Realm releases. Cameron will bridge the gap between that energy and the warmer melodic and afro house sound that Bangkok's scene has become known for. BYAS, DJ Luk Khrueng, and Trankii Boy fill the supporting hours with deep house, organic house, and the kind of groove-driven sets that keep a room locked in from open to close.

If you want a preview of the sonic world this lineup operates in, this playlist is a good place to start.
