Techno with zig-zags and a twist. Deeper and deeper down the psychedelic rabbit hole. Probably always exactly two days too late.

DJ and producer, from Newcastle, living in Bangkok. Deep, repetitive, hypnotic trance states are the goal, regardless of genre

Thailand-based maestro, Casper, has carved out a reputation as one of the most celebrated techno and deep house acts to ever come out of Chiang Mai. His sound flows/ travels/ bounces between progressive house, tech-house, deep house, and techno but is always ever present with his trademark ‘groove’. Casper’s tracks tend to tell a story that takes his audience on a musical adventure. 

Casper’s ability to adapt and evolve has etched out his reputation in Chiang Mai’s club scene as a prominent DJ. The constant search for new sounds and experimental music has made him a crowd favourite in his own right. He has become one of the leading artists to spearhead the underground music movement in his hometown where commercial music is dominant. The lone wolf has ignored the money and fame that could have been easily achieved if he were to go mainstream. Instead, Casper chose to be to true to himself, and carry on his work as an underground DJ. 

Born in 1982, Casper started his musical career in his late teens as a hip-hop and trip-hop DJ. His major influences were the likes of DJ Shadow, RJD2, and Ninja Tunes who inspired him to the art of mixology and scratch DJing. Heavy weight artists like Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, and Fat Boy Slim slowly drew him into the electronic music era. Casper then started a new found love for break beats, jungle, drum and bass, and electro trash. It wasn’t until 2010 that the passion for techno, progressive house, minimal, and deep house started to evolve. Some of his top picks for inspiration are none other than legendary John Digweed, Boris Brejcha, Claptone, Maceo Plex, Claude VonStroke, and James Harcourt. 

In 2004, Casper initiated a project called ‘Puretek’ which transformed into an underground music label based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The project involved several brilliant local and international artists: ‘Eddy (THA), April (THA), Pisshead (THA), Tyson (UK), Jeremy (USA), Danny B (UK), and Casper (THA)’. Puretek were amongst the first to introduce unparalleled performances of underground hip-hop, break beats, tech house, deep house, and techno to the Chiang Mai underground music scene. 

Along the years, Casper has played alongside international artists: Nakadia, James What, Fish Monger, Mendi Indigo, Me & Her, Dan Buri, and Superstar Panda. His musical tour of Thailand has seen him grace the likes of Club Culture, Escudo, Reggae Bar, and DDM in Bangkok. However, it is on the islands, south of Thailand, where Casper truly shines. He has become a regular at Pangea, Monkey Bar, and Ozone of Lanta Island. While in Phuket, he has performed at Club Lam, Blow, Bermudos, and White House. Casper’s resident clubs in Chiang Mai are Babylon Bar and Big Daddy’s where he has hosted a wide array of parties. With an impressive line up including: The Lounge of Warm Up, CM Bar, Zoe, CMBC, Freedom Bar, Rooftop, and Lucky Bar, he has played at every major club in Chiang Mai. Casper is also a regular at major music events such as: Smile Party, Plunge by Le Meridian, Don’t Cry, Joob Joob, Chunky, Twilight Music Park, and Inferno Festival. 

It is difficult to categorise Casper’s genre, he’s just a different kind of animal. Some would call it progressive deep dark techno, others simply call it a magic carpet ride into another world.

Originally from Newcastle UK, DJ/Producer Red Drum has been mixing for 25 years. His love of dance music began in around '92 with early Hardcore and Jungle. His formative gigs included Newcastle’s first Drum & Bass night Steppaz 1.

Through the 00’s Pete was known mostly for playing Hard Energy and Acid Techno at various clubs, squat parties and outdoor raves throughout the North, including a memorable night DJing inside Newcastle’s iconic Tyne Bridge. He also found time to run his own night ‘Cause & Effect’ for the best part of the decade while Producing & Engineering music for various Hard Dance labels such as Shock, Mohawk/Aztec and 12 Inch Thumpers.

As he has matured and become slower and funkier, so has his music. Now based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Pete can be seen playing a mix of what he describes loosely as ‘Eclectic Electro & Acid’, anything with an electronic or techy edge that’s also funky and energetic. He draws from everything from Synthwave, Detroit Electro and Nu Disco to Breaks and Acid House, while still banging out the occasional Techno & Hard Acid set when called for.

After a 5 year hiatus on the production tip, Pete is currently building a new production studio and designing and manufacturing synthesizers for his company ‘Siam Modular’ – As soon as he’s finished sharpening his tools you can expect a live modular synth set coming in 2020.

"Universal Human Underground records" aka -=UHU=- records

[...] In the beggining of creation, Universal Humans came to new born star - Earth. They build their civilization know to humanity as Atlantis, where the energy source came from magic crystals – the light of power, the light of Gods. This was one of the most advanced colonies in Solar system. After a “single day and night of misfortune” Atlantia civilisation sank in to the ocean, but by Mighty Gods` chosen members of civilization escaped from danger. Crystals were saved. [...]

Now, living in underground they have to hide from mankind, as it has accumulated too much of “negative – charged” information, untill they open portal of light to source humanity`s information field with mental enlightenment. The audio signals are sent! The reaction has begun! Your subconsciousness is affected! [...]

[...] If crystals will fall into wrong hands, the future might not come…
