Hailing from here is DOTT, one of three founders of More Rice, a truly home grown Bangkok Electronic producer, DJ and the talent behind Mah Noi EP. DOTT already has a number of releases under his belt and is now a regular on the Asian circuit, playing gigs around the region. At 26 years old this is quite impres- sive and we are very proud to be releasing his first pressed record under More Rice. Mah Noi EP embodies DOTT’s sound, which is deep, driven and moody, whilst keeping an organic twist throughout and clearly inspired by his home country, the key to setting the release apart and making it tasty for More Rice. The careful and precise placement of vintage Thai samples gives it that extra flavour and mystery that can engulf the listeners and dancers, whilst the remix by Eric Volta truly transports you to another dimension.
The lead track ‘Unbreakable’ is a slow builder that creeps in with a big bassline and warm chords, sprinkled with this barely identifiable Thai vocal, giving the feeling of exploring the Thai Wilderness. Moving on to ‘Paradox’, a somewhat more emotional production, sets itself apart through the broken piano samples and occasional voice coming in and out, whilst having that effortlessly lazy groove that keeps one moving.
The B1 on the record comes as a remix from Eric Volta, giving his signature brand of tripped out sounds to ‘Unbreakable’. Volta completely re-imagines DOTT’s original, but keeps the hard hitting bassline, adding his own scattered vocal sample on top, making ‘Unbreakable’ go from exploring the Thai wilderness to completely being lost in the jungle. The final track ‘Gone’ has a mysterious element to it, almost haunting, using organic sounds but with a subtle kick and hat that hooks one on to it’s sounds, without being able to let go, like an unseen energy pulling listeners to the track, something that would definitely be fitting for a tropical sunrise setting.
