More Rice is back with its ninth release – and it hits like a long-overdue homecoming. This time, its label cofounder Sarayu steps forward with The Don. Mueang, his first full solo outing on the imprint since 2021. The EP is dense, deliberate and deeply rooted – a kind of sonic cartography that places Bangkok firmly on the underground map, without asking for permission. To mark the release, there’s a party – naturally. Bar Temp. plays host as Sarayu goes back to back with DOTT, two selectors spinning into the early hours with the kind of shared instinct that can’t be rehearsed. It’s not just a launch, it’s a moment – the sound of a scene folding in on itself, then blooming into something new.
August 9. B200-400 via here and B600 at the door. Bar Temp., 9pm onwards
