BANGKOK — Thonglor nightclub Beam will celebrate its first birthday by cranking up the light and sound Saturday.

Before I start this week's column please let me offer my condolences to those killed at this week's BPM Festival in Mexico. We should always remember music unifies and brings together folks from all walks of life. Music is one of the beautiful things in life – and most importantly – people should always be able to enjoy these things in a safe environment.

Let me wax lyrical about a place to press your very own record and where to shop for vinyl – including the mother-of-all vintage markets this weekend – in this my first NFTU of 2017. But before I start, I would like to give a shout-out to local artist TRK for the redesigned logo for the column.

BANGKOK — Get locked and loaded and high at a 60th floor performing arts party in the Sathon area.

We say goodbye to 2016 and with it many of the world's most influential artists and musicians. For us Thais it was a year many were overcome with grief due to the passing of our beloved King Bhumibol. DJs, promoters and club owners stopped all activities out of respect for His Majesty.

PATHUM THANI — The Kolour folks are set to hit the grass and make waves again with two days of beats, art and gourmet food in a unique setting in March.

BANGKOK — Get a triple dose of dance at an EDM, tech-house and hip-hop festival Saturday where three sounds will be going off at the same time.
