More info about Dragon:
Mongkorn Timkul, aka DJ Dragon, has been active in Thailand’s drum and bass scene since the early 2000s. Back then, Dragon – the name he’s known by in the music scene – organized some of Bangkok’s first drum and bass events with his crew Homebass Communications. The collective, comprising DJ Wen and MC Abu, hosted drum and bass pioneers DJ SS, Jon B, L Double, Aphrodite, and Mickey Finn. Dragon and DJ Wen also hosted Homebass – a radio show featuring regular guest DJs from Bangkok. The show was broadcast on Fat Radio 104.5 and is considered to be Thailand’s first electronic music radio show.
In 2008, Dragon started Dubway Sessions, an event series that showcased a broader spectrum of dubwise music. The event featured DJs such as Goth-Trad, Pinch, Kode 9, and Alpha Steppa. In 2018, Dubway Sessions celebrated its 10th anniversary with Deep Medi head honcho Mala. Fast forward to the present day, Dragon is still regarded as a driving force in Bangkok’s underground music scene. On the decks, Dragon continues to innovate and take his sound to new heights. Clubbers can expect Dragon to rock everything from eclectic 120 bpm bass beats to hard-hitting, frantic drum and bass. Dragon can be seen gracing the decks at Bangkok’s top underground venues like Beam, Rover, and De Commune. Dragon also headlined Boiler Room at the Mahorasop festival in 2022.
