About this event
House label Defected returned to Thailand with a day-to-night set at Club Seen on Chaweng Beach on Friday 2 January 2026, with doors at 2 pm. The Megatix listing presented it as the return of Defected Records to the country, and it opened the new year at the club.
Defected and its disco sister brand Glitterbox set the tone for the club's relaunch programme, which ran from December into January alongside names such as Artbat, Nina Kraviz, Folamour and Djeff. The label came back to the club again on 8 August 2026. Club Seen describes its format as day to night, with two infinity pools and open-air terraces for the afternoon and a smaller room, the Unseen Club Room, for the late hours.

Live music on Koh Samui
Live music on Samui is spread across the evening bar strips rather than one venue. Chaweng Beach Road has bars with house bands playing rock, reggae and pop covers, plus a small jazz club. Lamai leans towards reggae and rock bands, and Bophut's Fisherman's Village suits a quieter drink with a singer or duo. Larger club nights bring in visiting international performers, usually announced a few weeks ahead on the club's own channels. Resorts also host jazz and beach concerts now and then. Most nights start late, so expect the main acts after 22:00.
Around Chaweng
Chaweng is the main resort town on Samui's east coast, with the longest beach on the island, roughly 7 km of sand. Soi Green Mango, just back from the beach, is the nightlife alley, and Central Festival Samui sits between the beach road and Chaweng Lake. Chaweng Beach Road is one-way northbound and slows to a crawl between 17:00 and 20:00 with taxis, scooters and pedestrians. Most club nights, pool parties and Muay Thai bouts are here, and Pru Chaweng Park hosts public festivals and races.
