By NaJade · DJ in Bangkok · Published November 11, 2026
A quick note: this list is written by NaJade, a Bangkok DJ — so yes, I’ve put myself first. Everyone else here is a DJ with an international background whose recent Bangkok bookings you can check on official or reputable pages, and every entry links out so you can listen for yourself.
The best international DJ in Bangkok for venues and events that want a global dance-music sound is NaJade, who blends progressive house, melodic EDM and house with pop and Thai music. Other strong picks: Belgian-born BYAS for deep and afro house; French DJs Henry Chris and Peter Soul, both residents at Pastel Rooftop; Croatian-born Dennis Gold for afro house pool and rooftop parties; and Hong Kong-born AY for sunset and listening-bar sets.
For a global sound in Bangkok, book NaJade for progressive house and melodic EDM with pop and Thai hits. BYAS leads deep and afro house takeovers, Henry Chris and Peter Soul hold residencies at Pastel Rooftop, Dennis Gold brings afro house to pool parties, and AY plays sunset sets at Le Du Kaan.
Bangkok has quietly become one of Asia’s great DJ cities, and a big part of that is the people who chose to move here. On any weekend you can hear a Belgian deep house DJ on a rooftop, a French techno resident at a downtown club and a Japanese selector warming up a hotel party. Many of them now live here full time, which means they’re bookable for venues and private events, not just one-off tours.
This list is for venue managers looking for residents, promoters building line-ups, and hosts who want a DJ with an international outlook. We’ve focused on DJs based in Bangkok rather than touring headliners. For a broader shortlist, see our guide to the best DJs in Bangkok.

The Best International DJs in Bangkok
1. NaJade
That’s me. I’m a Bangkok-based DJ playing progressive house, melodic EDM, house, pop and Thai music at clubs, rooftops, bars and restaurants, weddings, corporate events and private parties across Thailand. My sets lean on the same international progressive and melodic sound you hear in big clubs around the world, but I can bring in pop and Thai music when the room needs it, which is useful in a city where most crowds are a mix of locals and visitors. I play on Pioneer DJ equipment and pace the night to the people in front of me.
Venues and promoters can see my live events and clubs page, and hosts can check weddings and corporate events. Hear the style in my latest progressive house and EDM set, then message me on LINE or via the contact page.
- Best for: Venues and events that want global dance music with pop and Thai crossover
- Sound: Progressive house, melodic EDM, house, pop, Thai music
- Based in: Bangkok

2. BYAS
BYAS was born Yasin Borry in Antwerp, Belgium, and the official BYAS site sums it up as “Belgium-born · Thailand-based”. BYAS co-founded the Deep House Thailand collective, whose profile mentions “Baccarat Bangkok resident sets”, and its 2026 events calendar lists BYAS at Baccarat on Sukhumvit 24, APT 101 on Sukhumvit 17, a pool party at Centara Grand at CentralWorld and an upcoming SIN Rooftop takeover at Avani+ Riverside on 21 November 2026. The sound sits in deep, afro, melodic and organic house. A strong choice for venues that want a polished house takeover or a sunset-to-late rooftop session.

- Sound: Deep house, afro house, melodic and organic house

3. Henry Chris
Pastel Rooftop describes Henry Chris as “a French DJ and producer” with a mix of deep house, afro house and electronic sounds, and as a resident DJ at Pastel Rooftop Bangkok on Sukhumvit Soi 11. Pastel’s event pages show him headlining its Night Fever party in January 2026, playing from 10pm until late with live drums, saxophone and dance performances after a dinner-hours set. He’s a natural fit for rooftop venues and hotel bars that run themed nights or blend dining, live musicians and a late DJ slot into one evening.
- Best for: Glamorous rooftop dining nights that turn into dancing
- Sound: Deep house, afro house, electronic
- Based in: Bangkok

4. Peter Soul
Peter Soul’s Resident Advisor profile lists him as born in France and based in Thailand, and Pastel calls him “a prominent resident DJ at Pastel” who also plays clubs and bars around Bangkok. His RA listings show regular Rave Times psytrance nights at Subwerk Club in Bangkok through 2025 and 2026, most recently in May 2026, and his profile spans downtempo, afro house, tech house and psytrance. That range is his strength: he can play an easy early set on a rooftop and still deliver a driving late-night party. He suits venues with an adventurous, underground-leaning crowd.
- Best for: Groovier late-night rooftops and psytrance or tech house parties
- Sound: Downtempo, afro house, tech house, psytrance
- Based in: Bangkok

The collective’s 2026 calendar shows Dennis Gold at a pool party at Centara Grand at CentralWorld in July and at its Songkran party at 24 BLVD on Sukhumvit 24 in April, and the official Dennis Gold YouTube channel features a 2026 live set from Baccarat Bangkok. A great pick for daytime pool parties and club nights that want warm, rhythmic afro house with an Eastern-tinged edge.

The collective’s profile names AY as a resident at Le Du Kaan, playing rooftop sets at sunset, with other Bangkok appearances including Bar.Yard, APT 101, Baccarat, Pickle.BKK Listening Bar and Cloud40. The 2026 events calendar lists AY at Baccarat in July and September and at APT 101 in July.

Its 2026 calendar lists Berry at APT 101 in April and July and at the Songkran party at 24 BLVD in April. Berry’s sets travel across afro house, indie dance, tech house, techno and disco, which makes this a flexible choice for clubs and takeovers that want a night with real movement.

- Based in: Bangkok
Links: Deep House Thailand profile · Instagram · YouTube · Mixcloud
8. Jules Blons
Mustache Bangkok introduces Jules Blons as a “French, Bangkok-based Mustache resident”, and a Mustache event listing describes a resident delivering peak-time techno and representing the club across Bangkok events. Jules played Mustache x Kollectiv in April 2026, and Mustache’s Halloween takeover at The House on Sathorn, W Bangkok, on 30 October 2026 billed Jules back-to-back with Theo DGL on the house and techno stage, an event also featured by Time Out Bangkok. The sound blends melodic and peak-time techno with Afro-influenced rhythms, ideal for clubs and promoters building a serious techno night or a big themed party.
- Best for: Techno club nights and large themed parties
- Sound: Melodic and peak-time techno with Afro-influenced rhythms

9. DJ Mizuyo
DJ Mizuyo’s official biography introduces a Japanese DJ from Yokohama who has been based in Bangkok since 2010, with past performances in Japan, Cambodia and Vietnam. Her music spans hip-hop, house, reggae, Latin, disco and funky soul, giving her an open-format range that works across party styles. Time Out Bangkok listed her opening the Day of the Dead night at Ojo, The Standard Bangkok, on 31 October 2026, and she was on the line-up for the Love Boat Valentine’s cruise at Bangkok Island in February 2026. She’s a fine fit for hotel parties, boat parties and fun, global-flavoured nights.

10. Alik
Time Out Bangkok profiled Alik in March 2026 as a French DJ who now calls the Thai capital home, ahead of a free night at Bar.Yard. The article describes patient, hypnotic sets that move through house, deep house, afro house, fro-tech, tech house and minimal techno, letting the night build at its own pace rather than rushing to the peak. That slow-burn approach makes Alik a good match for hotel bars and intimate clubs where the crowd arrives gradually and stays for the long run.
- Best for: Patient, hypnotic hotel bar and club nights that build slowly
- Sound: House, deep house, afro house, tech house, minimal techno
- Based in: Bangkok

How to Choose the Right International DJ
A great DJ CV from abroad doesn’t automatically mean a great fit for your night. Use this checklist:
- Start with the sound. Decide between deep and afro house, techno, psytrance or open format, then listen to recent mixes before you shortlist anyone.
- Check Bangkok experience. Local residencies show the DJ understands Bangkok crowds, curfews and venues.
- Match the time slot. Warm-up, sunset and peak-time sets need different skills. Ask which they enjoy most.
- Think about the crowd. A house-music crowd and a mixed wedding or corporate crowd want very different nights.
- Confirm the tech. Agree the decks, mixer and monitors in advance. Our guide to DJ riders explains what to cover.
- Agree terms in writing. Hours, set times, recordings and any promo commitments should be clear before the date.
Questions worth asking:
- Which Bangkok venues have you played in the last year?
- Can you send a recent recorded set that fits our time slot?
- What equipment do you need from us?
- Are you available for a residency or one-off dates only?
- Will you help promote the night on your channels?
Fees vary with set length, day of the week, equipment and whether it’s a residency or a one-off, so we haven’t listed prices. Ask for a written quote, and read how much a DJ should charge to see what shapes the number.
A Note From NaJade
One of the best things about DJing in Bangkok is how much you learn from people who arrived here with completely different musical backgrounds. The scene is richer because of it, and the best nights I’ve heard often mix local and international DJs on the same line-up.
If you’re booking, my advice is simple: listen first, then think about your crowd, then talk to the DJ. Everyone on this list is worth hearing. If you want help thinking through your night, message me on LINE and I’ll give you honest suggestions, even if the best fit isn’t me.
