The first full length album of Thai-Dutch collectove Apichat Pakwan defines their unique take on Thai, Lao & electronic music with a compelling selection of classic molam repertory and their own new compositions, that are equally at home on the dancefloor as on headphones while travelling.

“One of those East-meets-West experiments that works very well. The Western dub and hiphop do not dominate the Isan music; everything is fused to create something new and refreshing." – Bangkok Post (Thailand)

"Apichat Pakwan creates a seamless blend of electronics and molam music and to their credit the electronic elements don't steal the show. A fascinating debut. Highly recommended. ★★★★" - Songlines Magazine #154 (UK)
