Masters of Bleep: Mahajamreon By Bangkok 101 magazine

Who are they? There’s eight of them, all Thai, from Pong on the bass and synths, to vocalist and turntable fx technician Khae, and Nong on Guitar.
The Style: Electronica you can chill, sway or wig out to, from covers of dance music luminaries like Groove Armada, to smooth drum and bass with ethereal Thai chants over the top, squelchy trance, vocoder soul and Faithless-esque mellow-outs.
The Buzz: Rather than strumming guitars like every other Thai band out there, these guys and girls play machines – really well. Formed in 2006, they earnt a fiercely loyal following over at Parking Toys, on Kaset-Navamin, but have recently raised their game, playing heaps of gigs and becoming fixtures on the local festival circuit.
Where can I catch them? At RCA’s Mellow Yellow on Fridays at midnight. www.mahajamreon.com
