MRAK’s Asian Debut: A New Chapter Unfolds at NEON Countdown Bangkok

The countdown has begun, and this December, Bangkok will become the epicenter of electronic music as NEON Countdown 2024 takes over Wonder World Extreme Park. Among the stellar lineup of global superstars lies something truly special—a performance that will mark a new chapter in Asia’s music scene: MRAK’s debut with the show We Don’t Follow.

For those in the know, MRAK isn’t just another name on the roster. It’s the solo endeavor of Carmine Conte, half of the iconic Tale of Us, whose Afterlifeand performances have reshaped melodic techno. But MRAK isn’t a spin-off or an afterthought—it’s an entirely different dimension of sound. His music reaches deep, layering textures and rhythms into an experience that feels personal and raw. This isn’t about drops and hype; it’s about storytelling through sound.

With a catalog that includes One and his recent EP, The Pledge, MRAK’s live sets blur the line between concert and narrative. Each note feels intentional, pulling you further into an introspective journey. Tracks like “Vacio” and “The World Is Yours” showcase his ability to evoke emotion through complex arrangements, offering something much more than just music—it’s a moment of connection.

NEON Countdown has already solidified its place as a must-attend event in Southeast Asia, and with good reason. Where else will you find Martin Garrix, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Lost Frequencies, Indira Paganotto and Oliver Heldens as Hi-Lo all on the same lineup for New Years Eve? But even with such heavyweights sharing the stage, MRAK stands out. His debut in Asia feels like a milestone—not just for him, but for the entire electronic music scene in the region.

If you’ve been craving a set that’s less about formula and more about artistry, MRAK’s performance of We Don’t Follow is the one to catch. Imagine ending 2024 surrounded by soundscapes that make you reflect on the year gone by, while setting the tone for the year ahead. This is your chance to witness an artist truly in his element, stepping into new territory and taking you with him.

Tickets are already moving fast, and it’s easy to see why. NEON Countdown isn’t just another festival—it’s an experience.

Grab your passes, gather your crew, and get ready to start the new year the way it should be: immersed in music that moves you.

Don’t just hear about it later—be there for MRAK’s first step onto an Asian stage. This is a moment you’ll want to say you were part of.
