His work connects older regional recordings with contemporary dance floors, introducing listeners to rhythms and instruments that sit outside a conventional house-and-techno playlist.

Records, roots and a dance floor
His selections place Thai recordings in conversation with music from elsewhere in Asia and beyond. A DJ set and a Paradise Bangkok band performance are different parts of that practice: one draws on a record collection, while the other brings molam traditions into a live ensemble.
