Selection of The Week : Luk Thung Fever - A Journey Into the Thai 60's and 70's Sound

Hi everyone !

It's been a long time, right ?

Sincerely sorry, I was veeery busy, looking for new records for the next selections.. But now I'm back !

So let's begin the February selections with some good 7 inches I brought back for my last travel to Thailand in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Andaman !

So, because it's a first step for many of us into the Thai sound, I've prepared not one but to different mixes : the first is more funky and the second, more traditional (my favorite), represents more what was the Thai Sound at the time, with two main musical genre : Molam and Luk Thung - Enjoy !

Special Merci to Miles Cleret from Soundway Records and all the Zudrangma Team
