Café del Mar Phuket is thrilled to announce that two of the most influential artists in electronic music, Jamie Jones and Damian Lazarus, will headline its much-anticipated 2025/26 season opening on Saturday, November 22, 2025.
This landmark event signals the dawn of a new era for electronic music in the region, spearheading Phuket's rise as the genre's new central hub. The season opener is a bold statement of intent, showcasing a commitment to innovation and leadership that will define the next generation of music culture in Southeast Asia.
A Monumental Headlining Duo
A true pioneer of electronic music, Jamie Jones has spent over two decades shaping the global soundscape. His journey is a timeline of genre-defining moments, beginning with early scene-defining anthems like the moody and deep masterpiece ‘Summertime’ (2009). He then launched the iconic Hot Creations label (est. 2010), defining an era with his raw solo groove on his remix of ‘Hungry for the Power’ (2011), before co-creating the soulful, chart-crossing masterpiece ‘Benediction’ (2012) as a core member of the Hot Natured collective. His evolution as a solo artist continued relentlessly through the decade, from the raw energy of ‘Moan & Groan’ (2013) and the jacking groove of ‘Bionic Boy’ (2015), to the quirky melodic weapon ‘Kooky Chords’ (2017) and the hypnotic ‘Siberian Express’ (2019). He captured the global zeitgeist once again with the euphoric classic ‘My Paradise’ (2022), before unleashing a string of even more recent dancefloor weapons, including ‘Butterflies’, 'La Musa', and 'Fine Fine Baby', cementing his legacy as a luminary who consistently defines the sound of the moment.
Beyond this celebrated discography, which includes hundreds of releases, his greatest influence may be as a tastemaker and mentor. Hot Creations has become a coveted home for a new generation of talent, with aspiring producers worldwide striving to join its roster. Jones has been a driving force for these artists, personally bringing them along for the ride and placing them in front of huge crowds on his Paradise event line-ups. This status as a leader is undeniable, respected by both the heavyweights he plays back-to-back with, like Carl Cox and Seth Troxler, and the rising stars he nurtures. His continued relevance is reflected in his explosive growth, with his Spotify streams doubling from 170 million in August 2023 to over 340 million just two years later—a testament to a career that is still accelerating.
Joining him will be the exceptional Damian Lazarus, a musical shaman and one of the most respected tastemakers in the scene. As the founder of the seminal Crosstown Rebels label, he has been a pivotal force for over two decades, responsible for discovering and launching the careers of a generation of artists (including an early Jamie Jones). His visionary Day Zero festival, born from the end of the Mayan calendar in 2012, has completely redefined the event experience by blending cutting-edge electronic music with ancient rituals in the jungles of Tulum. Whether weaving one of his signature, genre-bending DJ sets in the world’s most iconic clubs or performing his magic in extraordinary outdoor locations, Lazarus is a master storyteller celebrated for crafting immersive sonic journeys that feel both timeless and futuristic. The opportunity to experience his mystical soundscapes alongside Jones's vibrant energy is a truly special occasion, promising a night of unparalleled musical exploration.
