Thailand, never colonized, features record labels written exclusively in Thai. Adding to the challenge, most 7-inch records come without jackets, requiring diggers to decipher label information when previewing isn’t possible. For deep diving, learning Thai is an essential skill.

Thai 7-inch records, particularly from the 60s and 70s, boast an overwhelming number of releases not only from the northeastern Isan region but from all over the country. Thai record diggers live for the thrill of discovering yet-to-be-found killer tracks.

This mix is centered on 7-inch records, featuring “new discoveries” that brought inspiration during the pandemic, as thoughts of Thailand lingered in the air. Perfectly suited for the humid summers of Japan.
