Above The Mountain is taking place on 24 and 31 December 2025 at The Grand Ballroom (Level 50), 1001 Nights Hotel Genting Highlands presented by HEXED. Awarded five Malaysia Book of Records for the ‘Highest Altitude’ Hotel, Largest Banquet Hall, Clear Glass Sky Lift, Glass Bottom Link Bridge and Sky Glass Pyramid, this two-night experience blends music, culture and storytelling to close the year with intention and energy.
On 24th December, Christmas Eve, they honour the legacy of Malaysia’s Trance era. The night features DJs and producers who have shaped the scene for over a decade, each handpicked for their contribution, craft and long-standing commitment to elevating Malaysian dance music globally. Expect producer-driven sets, exclusive edits and unreleased material that merge nostalgia with forward-thinking sound.
On 31st December, New Year’s Eve, the focus shifts to House, Techno and Groove, the genres that form the foundation of electronic music. The line-up brings together label heads, collective leaders, established favourites and emerging names who have shaped both commercial and underground movements across the region. It serves as a celebration of rhythm, culture and community as we welcome 2026.
Both nights will feature a special showcase by Psycusix, Asia’s leading Modern Circus & Contemporary Arts collective, renowned for their visually captivating fire, light and movement performances that elevate the atmosphere throughout the night.
In his welcome address, HEXED Project Director Rhoma Khairi shared insights into the direction of this event: “HEXED’s approach is built on intentional curation, a strong creative vision and a mission to elevate local talents by pushing boundaries and expanding Malaysia’s cultural footprint. Above The Mountain represents the connection between generations, driven by the community and created for the community.”
