DOTT

Bangkok [BKK]

DJ, producer and co-founder of the More Rice collective, DOTT is building a reputation far beyond his hometown of Bangkok. Well-respected on the SE Asia scene for over a decade, in recent years a relentless run of releases on both vinyl and digital labels in Europe and the US, as well as overseas touring, have introduced international audiences to his highly modern take on underground dance music.

With a DOTT production, you're never quite sure where you'll end up. Tripping grooves and complex emotion take precedent over genre conventions: deep house may reveal a subtly dark edge, while a minimal cut can unfurl into the brightest of colours. Moods range from warm and analogue to futuristic sci-fi, but the attention given to basslines and groove remains a constant.

Behind the decks, DOTT stays true to his musical personality by foregrounding his own unreleased material alongside favourites by other producers. He has translated years of experience on the Bangkok circuit to the international stage, from clubs like Hoppetosse (Berlin), Bret (Amsterdam), Folklor (Lausanne), Tag (Chengdu), Savage (Hanoi), Modeci (Seoul) and his home ground Never Normal (Bangkok) to festivals including Houghton (UK), The Air House (South Korea), Wonderfruit (Thailand), Equation (Vietnam), Epizode (Vietnam) and the Montreux Jazz Festival (CH).
