For the third Studio Lam release, The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band, revisit 'Kwang Noi Chaolay', which has been receiving both heavy radio and club play. The first track on side A, is the original LP version, before moving into Nick Manasseh's stripped dub rework, that takes the track into cosmic disco territory, that wouldn't sound out of place in a Mancuso or Baldelli set.

On Side B, Rabih Beaini feeds the LP opener 'Sao Sakit Mae' through an avant-garde electronic looking glass, capitalising on the original hypnotic melody, and then peppering it with the sputters and pops of whirring machinery before it all heads off into space. The next step in the '21st Century Molam' project....

The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band blends traditional Thai music with modern influences. Led by Maft Sai, the band delivers infectious rhythms and soulful melodies with electrifying stage presence. Their music transcends language and cultural barriers, creating a universal connection that brings people together through the power of music.
