thai mix

Thailand is full of colors. And full of sounds. And full of colorful sounds. Included in this hour-long, Thai-oriented (albeit not necessarily Thai-Thai) mix are: Lao-Isan molam; Khmer-Isan kantrum; Lanna folk; Malay dikir; Arabic pop; Chinese pop; Electone instrumentals; hill tribe tunes; a Tai Yai/Shan PSA; a herbal medicine commercial; Islamic adhan; Buddhist prayers; Lao, Khmer and Chinese radio wave snippets; rain and frog ambient; and more. They were discovered through a variety of media, i.e., AM/FM radio, field recording, and cassette tapes, in a variety of cities of Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Isan, as well as the Deep South, as well as downtown and greater Bangkok, over the last one year plus. Overall, a reminder of how deep and wide a sonic landscape exists in Thailand.

Lions Milk #67 with Maft Sai

To celebrate the release of The Sound of Siam volume 2 compilers Chris Menist and Maft Sai put together this mix for us.  

The Sound of Siam volume 2 - Molam & Luk Thung Isan from North-East Thailand 1970 - 1982 

Soundway’s second foray into South East Asia is focused on North-East Thailand, the epicentre of Molam and Luk Thung Isan music. Hypnotic phin & khaen riffs, pulsing, electrified country rhythms and heartfelt vocals punctuate another journey into the lesser known reaches of 1970s Thai music. 

The first volume of The Sound of Siam, released in 2011, was the first introduction for many to the artistry and innovations of modern Thai music. One of the most popular compilations on Soundway Records the music even made it onto the big screen with ‘Mae Jom Ka Lon’ by Dao Bandon featured on the soundtrack of ‘The Hangover Part II’.  In an interview with LA Times Mick Jagger spoke of discovering the collection that “some nutter put together” after hearing the riff from Jumpin’ Jack Flash on one of the tracks from the compilation.
