Line-up:
LAFIDKI is a London-based sound/visual artist, and founder of Chinabot, a platform and collective created to change the dialogue surrounding Asian music. LAFIDKI is the moniker of Saphy Vong, who has been releasing experimental electronic music since 2008. He was born in a refugee camp in Phanat Nikhon (Thailand) to Cambodian refugee parents who fled Pol Pot’s regime and was raised in France. He released his EP ‘Absynthax’ via Orange Milk records. He’s a sound artist and conceptual collagist who performs around the world. His music is a confluence of ideas, synthesising multiple underrepresented histories, geographies, musical genres and cultural signifiers into compelling, colourful sonic material that packs contemporaneous dancefloor weight.

PISITAKUN is from Bangkok, Thailand. He started making visual arts and music in 2014 and is interested in music in different media environments. He uses a variety of inspirations in his songs, such as historical events, synthetic sounds, and musical instruments. In 2016, the album “Black Country” began to be prepared. In this album, Pisitakun is talking about a country full of dialogues between dark voices. His works are based on political speculation and the external and internal frustrations of artists.
As Thai history currently unfolds under martial law following the military coup d’état on 22 May 2014 – the thirteenth since the end of the absolute monarchy in 1932 – Pisitakun’s practice represents a decisive break from many of his Thai peers: he questions fundamental and increasingly universal values without merely decrying the fact of corruption or offering neat palliatives.

TATTOO SHOPYOYOYO is a tattoo artist from Bangkok. Donlakarn Sengboonton started working as a tattoo artist in 2015. Her work is in the naive tattoo style, because she loves innocent things to escape from real life, although it’s a paradox that tattoos can be painful. Her tattoo studio is called Shopyoyoyo. She will present her tattoo illustrations at this event!
