Mixmag Asia Community Hub in collaboration with EMC & Pulse Design

​Electronic music culture thrives at the intersection of digital innovation and physical spaces—where AI shapes our music trends, but communities need real venues to gather and connect. At our Community Hub, we're exploring this duality through two groundbreaking demonstrations. Mixmag Asia and EMC expose the cultural blind spots in AI-powered music intelligence, revealing how entire continents of electronic music innovation remain invisible to leading prediction tools. Meanwhile, Pulse Design demonstrates how AI can solve the urgent challenges threatening club culture's survival in dense urban environments—using intelligent acoustic design to create venues that coexist with city living without compromising the immersive experiences that define electronic music culture. Together, these sessions reveal AI's dual potential: to both illuminate hidden music scenes and preserve the physical spaces where those scenes flourish.

​Testing AI's grasp of electronic music and club culture history and trends—and why half the world's scenes remain invisible.

​Join us to test how AI tools analyse electronic music history and forecast club culture trends through live demonstrations exploring dance music's underground movements and future predictions. However, a critical gap emerges: whilst AI confidently maps Western scenes from Chicago house to Berlin techno, entire continents of electronic music innovation remain invisible to these systems. This interactive session reveals both the promise and blind spots of AI-powered music intelligence.

​The Long Bar Reimagined – An Acoustic AI Experience

​Experience how AI revolutionises club and venue design through an immersive reimagining of Singapore's iconic Long Bar as a cutting-edge club space.

​Step into our Community Hub to explore how AI transforms architectural and acoustic design for nightlife venues. Through an interactive 3D installation, you'll witness Pulse Design's AI-driven reimagining of Singapore's legendary Long Bar as a club space, where every surface, speaker placement, and material choice has been optimised by artificial intelligence. From acoustic planning that eliminates sound spill to AI-generated textures and materials, this hands-on demonstration reveals how machine learning can solve real-world challenges in venue design—creating immersive sound experiences without compromising aesthetic integrity or disturbing the neighbourhood. Discover the future of intelligent design where technology meets creativity in perfect harmony.
