Maho Rasop Series returns from October to December with Caribou leading the first lineup

Bangkok's indie calendar still looks a little odd without the full return of Maho Rasop Festival. After last year's success, the team keeps things moving with Maho Rasop Series, a run of standalone shows spread across October to December that trades festival-scale sprawl for something tighter. Smaller rooms, carefully picked acts and nights that hold their own.

First up is Caribou, the long-running project of Canadian producer Dan Snaith, coming to Ambience Space on November 27. Since the early 2000s, Caribou has quietly helped reshape electronic music, folding together hypnotic dance rhythms, warm synth textures and indie sensibilities without ever sounding pinned to one scene. Even if the name doesn't immediately click, tracks like ‘Can't Do Without You’, ‘Odessa’, ‘Sun’ and ‘Home’ tend to do the work within a few opening seconds.

Bangkok crowds already know what to expect from a Maho Rasop booking. The organisers have a habit of picking artists that don't sit comfortably within one category, and Caribou slots right into that tradition. His live sets move between intimate and euphoric without tipping over into overproduced territory, the kind of night that works just as well for quiet swaying as it does for full-body dancing.

Regular tickets are B2,700, with sales opening Friday May 29 at 4pm via Ticketmelon.com. More acts, venues and dates are on the way. The series comes together through HAVE YOU HEARD?, Seen Scene Space and Fungjai.
