ADM: Asia's Own Unhinged Club Culture
Paperback. 228 pages. Size: 257 x 182 x 7mm
The book is enclosed in a printed clear plastic bag.
Soi48 proudly presents this book, a photographic document of the unique dance music clubs and culture of Southeast Asia and East Asia. The photos, from the years 2017 through 2025, were taken in nightclubs, discos, festivals, raves, sound system parties, private parties and migrant worker clubs — the places where Asia's unique dance music genres are born and thrive. ADM, with its exclusive on-the-spot snapshots, provides an extraordinary visual archive of Asian contemporary dance music.
Journeying through Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, Taiwan, Korea and Japan, Soi48 captures glimpses of how people create their nights, visually comparing the differences between countries in fashion, dance style, lighting, club interiors, flyers and more, showcasing the distinctive entertainment culture that each country has created. The 167 photos also feature the pioneering DJs and track makers who built unique music genres in each country, such as Budots (Philippines), Vina House (Vietnam) and Saiyo (Thailand). Also of note: the book provides a valuable record of nightlife during the COVID-19 pandemic; captures the energy that migrant workers release in clubs on weekends; and in general showcases the ingenuity, wit and passion of music lovers throughout the region.
Soi48:

In addition to supervising the film Bangkok Nights (Kuzoku) and the EM Records Thai music series, they introduce the joys of Asian music and travel through talk events, TV, radio appearances, etc. Their books include TRIP TO ISAN: A Traveling Thai Isan Music Disc Guide (DU BOOKS), OMK#001 (OMK), and ADM: Asia's own unhinged club culture.
