There’s a lot to take in when watching Netflix’s Midnight Asia: Eat, Dance, Dream. But once the bright lights of Asia’s bustling cities and the even brighter characters have been digested, there are many songs in the series that viewers have taken a liking to.
Music and nightlife go hand in hand, so given that the docu-series takes a look at some of Asia’s megacities after dark, it makes sense that many musicians and songs would feature in the show. Bands to battle rappers and 86 year old DJ’s appear on the Midnight Asia series, so let’s find out more about the Netflix show’s soundtrack.
Exploring the Midnight Asia soundtrack
The music featured on the Midnight Asia soundtrack is hugely varied. All kinds of tunes from relaxing instrumental calming music to techno and rap can be heard during the six-episode series.
Episode 1 features songs such as Eggs by Dan Diablo and Habu Raminibu (Dengue Dengue Dengue & Joutro Mundo Version) by Ayani Huni Kuin.
Episode 2 sees alternative pop band Leenalchi take the stage. Listen to them on Spotify here.

He tweeted: “Man, for a second there I was like “wait, what is this beat??… I know this beat”, lol. #Dope“.
