Fresh Kicks 171: Priori

Southeast Asia is made up of diverse dance music markets that feel strongest when united. A steady stream of cross-border collaborations has come to define the region's underground nightlife, with Bangkok-based Sunju Hargun at the forefront of many of these exchanges. Over the years, he's honed a signature sound of minimal techno, tribal rhythms and deep downtempo while playing in Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam. Inspired by the traditional music of these countries, his DJ sets and productions are lush tonal sound baths, with plenty of nature references. Shimmering ambient evokes misty mountain tops while whiffs of Goa trance nod to beach sunrises.

His current project, Siamese Twins Records, is also rooted in pan-Asian connections. A platform to explore old-world chants and ceremonial percussion, the label hosts much of Hargun's own work, including Bollywood-inspired acid made as Mogambo, a production outfit he runs with Jerom Doudet. All these myriad styles are present on Hargun's RA Podcast, an hour-long trip where flickering synths reverberate like gongs before morphing into an amorphous mass of dub techno, jungle noises and meandering modular sequences.

A really beautiful party at a really beautiful club with really beautiful people - Precious Hall in Sapporo, Japan. Thank you Occa for this wonderful adventure in Hokkaido. My favourite club gig of 2022. Unforgettable to go deep and wide <3

A special one for #114 from a dear friend and renowned but noble talent, Montreal based @priori-ties. Head of the ever-impressive NAFF output (@naffrecordings), world class DJ & chameleon producer, he is constantly working on something new and exciting.. never missing a beat. 

One would only have to indulge in Priori's impressive back catalogue to attest to his consistent quality but evolution of style and creative flow. Seeing Francis play multiple times on his recent tour to Australia really cemented all of this for me.- one of the best in the biz! 

Thanks so much for being part of the series Francis <3

Intensely chill hypnotic vibes coming from Melbourne - for the #19th mix we’ve asked a talented young DJ from the other side of the planet named @kia-sydney. A few months ago we stumbled upon her mixes, and have been playing them over and over. We’re honoured to present the first mix of her on this hemisphere. Big thanks to Kia for making this one for us.
