Khruangbin are the Texas based three-piece that make psychedelic, acid jazz infused Thai funk music. Oh yes. Comprised of Laura Lee, Mark Speer and Donald Johnson, the trio have supported Bonobo across his USA tour and even had a track included in his Late Night Tales mix last year.LNT's artist label Night Time Stories subsequently signed them up, with single 'A Calf Born In Winter' released 19th May and an album in the works. Providing the soundtrack to your dreams and entering i-D's mid-week wind down session for their first ever mix, these are the psychedelic sounds of Khruangbin. Drift off.

"This is our very first mix tape. As such, we wanted to draw on original inspirations to each of us individually in the band, as well as together. In this we pull on Acid Jazz, Gospel, Brazilian Funk and Psych, Thai & Japanese Pop/Rock, "farm rock", Dub, Funk, and R&B to hopefully create a mix that is varied in style yet cohesive in feel. We hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it."

This show features music from the last 10 years with new bits from Melodiesinfonie, Taylor McFerrin, a killer remix from Classik Swiss Chocolat, Swiss fresh band Lady Bazaar, two picks from Mo Kolours album, as well as a couple tunes from the great and only album released by swedish artist Hird, one from the beautiful Oldtwig's LP out on Phonosaurus and many other great pieces.

Hope you enjoy !

The Tender Touch

In Hour 2 we welcome Khruangbin , the Texan trio who take influence from 1960's Thai funk (their name literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai ) and include Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums. Their debut album from 2015 ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ is steeped in the bass heavy, psychedelic sound of their inspirations and was recorded at their spiritual home, a remote barn deep in the Texas countryside. The band listened to a lot of different types of music on the long drives out to the country but their favorites were 60s and 70s Thai cassettes gleaned from the cult Monrakplengthai blog and compilations of southeast Asian pop, rock and funk. Their mix is a sublime selection of music that includes Arthur Verocai, Return to Forever, Serge Gainsbourg, Miles Davis and some incredibly rare records from Christy Azuma, Ahmed Fakroun and Theodora Ifudu. You can catch them playing alongside Kendrick Lamar, Jamie XX and Kamasi Washington in Hyde Park, London on 2nd July, their US Tour kicks off in September and they have a remix release coming out in early June.

Solid Steel Radio Show 13/5/2016 Hour 2 - Khruangbin

Our good friends https://soundcloud.com/khruangbin brought their blend of ambient guitars and 'thai-funk' to the lawn stage on Sunday afternoon this year. It was a magical journey of meandering music that caught pretty much everyone off guard, in a great way, https://soundcloud.com/move-d even went as far as defining it as his favourite moment of the entire festival. We recorded the set and here it is, one of the only recorded live sets you'll find of this very special band.
