Carnage is officially back. The famed electronic producer touched down in Thailand’s Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden last week for a monster performance at dance music festival RARE Thailand. The festival, which went down on Friday, December 11th, functioned as the country’s first normalized concert since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It seemed to be a cathartic experience for Carnage, who, like most DJs, have been itching to get back to their normal touring routines in the absence of live shows. “I just threw a party with 10,000 of my friends in a Covid free country,” he wrote in a tweet, which features a clip from RARE.

His health was clearly a priority, as the electronic music producer took to social media to share a photo in which he appears slimmer than the Carnage of yesteryear. “2020… the year I lost 100 lbs,” he exulted. Many of Carnage’s fellow artists and music producers jumped in the comment section to congratulate him on his inspirational journey. “Looking good king,” wrot...
