Growing up immersed in club culture, early dance floors became sanctuaries where self-expression didn\u2019t rely on words. Music created spaces where people could let their guard down, connect freely, and feel a sense of belonging. These environments brought together people from different walks of life, forming friendships that have lasted well beyond those nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those early experiences shaped Shaun\u2019s belief that when words fall short, sound steps in. A track can capture emotion, release tension, and create shared understanding in ways language often cannot. This idea now sits at the center of how he thinks about bars, not simply as places to drink, but as spaces that give people permission to express themselves fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cMusic became a language for us. When words fall short, sound steps in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>That philosophy became the foundation for Sundry. From the beginning, Shaun envisioned the bar as a micro-club, an intimate space designed to recreate the positive intensity he experienced earlier in his life. The aim was immediacy. Guests should feel welcome, energized, and part of something the moment they step inside, without needing explanation or performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than replicating a club outright, Sundry distills that energy into a smaller, more personal format. Music leads the experience, but connection sustains it, allowing the atmosphere to feel liberating without becoming overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"

influences. Shaun points to the precision of high-fidelity club systems, the raw spirit of underground spaces, and the openness and inclusivity of queer culture. Rather than adhering to a single genre, these references form a shared musical language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sound moves fluidly between classic house, electro, and rhythmic pop, anchored by the steady, unifying pulse of house music. Vocals play a central role, chosen for their sense of liberation and emotional clarity. The goal isn\u2019t nostalgia or trend-chasing, but coherence, a sound that feels confident, immersive, and emotionally legible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cCool isn\u2019t about trends. It\u2019s about something timeless, confident, and immersive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For Shaun, \u201ccool\u201d isn\u2019t about what\u2019s current. It\u2019s about what lasts. Music at Sundry is designed to energize guests fully while keeping them present, encouraging immersion without excess. The intention is to create an experience where people feel intoxicated by sound rather than overwhelmed by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2568\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 90vw, (max-width: 1440px) 80vw, 700px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-30-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-30-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-30-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-30-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-30-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-30-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-30-2-scaled.jpg 1707w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2570\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 90vw, (max-width: 1440px) 80vw, 700px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-4-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-4-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-4-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-4-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-4-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-4-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-4-2-scaled.jpg 1707w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"2566\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 90vw, (max-width: 1440px) 80vw, 700px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-29-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-29-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-29-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-29-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-29-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-29-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-Drink-Set1-29-scaled.jpg 1707w\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From BPM to Taste: Shaping Energy in the Room<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Sundry, energy isn\u2019t driven by loudness. Tempo matters more than volume. BPM becomes a tool for alignment rather than force. Each night is treated like a first date with the room, where the DJ\u2019s role is to read the crowd, communicate through sound, and gradually lift the collective mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the tempo rises, the room opens up. Conversations loosen, movement becomes more expressive, and social barriers begin to dissolve. This shift is subtle but unmistakable. The bar team plays a key role in supporting it. Bartenders aren\u2019t just there to serve drinks; they are trained to guide interaction, spark conversation, and encourage genuine self-expression. Sound and service work together to shape how people feel and behave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cEnergy isn\u2019t about volume. Tempo matters more than loudness.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Music also influences how guests drink. At Sundry, sound is often described as the invisible enabler. When the right track lands at the right moment, it creates a surge of energy that pushes people to lean further into the night. Punchier beats tend to inspire bolder, stronger cocktail choices, while brighter, more uplifting sounds draw guests toward fresher, lighter flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menu is designed as a liquid counterpart to the music, allowing sound and taste to rise together as the evening builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Culture Through Sound<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For Shaun, music is deeply personal. It has accompanied him through every emotional stage of life, acting as both a creative and healing force. That relationship shapes how Sundry approaches its programming. Rather than imposing rigid briefs, the team seeks DJs who share a similar emotional connection to music or who intuitively understand its power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cMusic brings people together, but belonging is something you have to actively build.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In a competitive city like Bangkok, this commitment to sound has helped Sundry find its audience. From the outset, the bar positioned itself as a cocktail club rooted in curated house music, reviving a sensibility that values both drinks and dance-floor energy. The result isn\u2019t just foot traffic, but loyalty. Many guests don\u2019t simply visit Sundry; they return to it, treating the space as a second home shaped by rhythm and familiarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While music naturally brings like-minded people together, Shaun is clear that sound alone doesn\u2019t build community. What sustains it is the effort invested in creating belonging. Music amplifies values, but relationships make them last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 90vw, (max-width: 1440px) 80vw, 700px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-906-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-906-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-906-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-906-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-906-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.campariacademy.com\/en-asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2025\/12\/Sundry-906.jpg 2048w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>At Sundry, hearing isn\u2019t an accessory to the bar experience.
