‘Boiler Room’ drops live sets featuring 5 Thai DJs

Five Bangkok DJs set fire to the deck in their debut performances this afternoon on a popular series featuring the world’s top talents. 

Filmed this past November in Bangkok, the latest installments of Boiler Room feature a drum ‘n bass set by DJ Dragon, a display of technical audio-mancery by Chalo, a groovy no-frills set by Dott and Elaheh, and Marmosets aka King Kong, whose hard-hitting bangers worked the crowd into a howling freak frenzy.

“I’m very honored that that they picked me to be in the line up,” Mongkorn “DJ Dragon” Timkul told Coconuts. “I’m stoked they really put an emphasis on the local talent. In my opinion DJ King Kong made the crowd go apeshit, he’s gonna blow up this year for sure!”

The five Thai talents were among the five hourlong sets released today from the 10 filmed on stage at the Maho Rasop Festival two months ago. The fifth set was by Malaysia’s talented Rempit Goddess.

Dragon, a veteran DJ versed in a variety of genres, delivered a hard-driving set that hewed to his drum ‘n bass roots. Chalo wowed the room with a standout live performance that went beyond mixing tracks. But the most explosive moment came near the end of Marmosets’ set, when he took the already-supercharged crowd into the killzone with Underworld’s dance classic Born Slippy.

The sets will begin rolling out at 4pm on Boiler Room’s YouTube channel. 

Boiler Room’s live streams consist of DJs playing in booths overcrowded with sweaty ravers at venues around the world. It has more than three million subscribers on YouTube.

Past prominent artists have included Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Kaytranada, Carl Cox, Maceo Plex, DJ Shadow, Richie Hawtin, Solomun, and others.

The Boiler Room team dropped into Thailand for the second day of the international indie music festival, which returned after a three-year hiatus Nov. 19-20 at ESC Park in Rangsit.
