Kraftwerk will perform in Thailand for the first time ever on Sunday, 10 May. The “Kraftwerk Multimedia Tour in Bangkok 2026” lands at QSNCC as part of an Asia run through Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

We're marking the occasion the night before with a listening party. No 3D visuals, no neon grid suits—just the records. Kraftwerk, and the fifty years of music descended from them, played by five Thai DJs
 
In a creative run of five albums from 1974 to 1981, Kraftwerk created a new language for music that still defines what electronic music sounds like. Founded by Ralf Hütter and the late Florian Schneider in Düsseldorf in 1970, they rejected the Anglo-American rock playbook entirely and built something from scratch—with drum machines, synthesisers, sequencers, and vocoders—a sonic language with no precedent. Their posture was equally contrarian; no rock-star posturing, Gilbert-and-George-like personas, the deadplan irony. The impulse driving Kraftwerk was to begin from zero, while reconnecting with German artistic traditions like Bauhaus (not the band) and European constructivism: functional, cool, elegant, radical, and aesthetically resolute.

The consequences were enormous and unpredictable. Afrika Bambaataa fused "Trans-Europe Express" and "Numbers" with an 808 beat for "Planet Rock" and invented Electro hip-hop. In Detroit, Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson heard Kraftwerk on late-night radio and channelled this influence into Detroit techno. Derrick May famously described techno as "George Clinton and Kraftwerk stuck in an elevator with only a sequencer to keep them company." From there, the threads run through the Synth-pop of Human League, Depeche Mode, New Order, through David Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy, Daft Punk, Underground Resistance, and Drexciya's Afrofuturist electronics, through hip-hop production. As Carl Craig put it: "Kraftwerk were so stiff, they were funky."

Playing the records: Krit Morton, Club Mascot, Eizu 映図 b2b Mayuu, and CRSRCRSRRR.

This launches a new strand of our programme dedicated to club music, running alongside our existing series on live coding, experimental and new music.

About The Artists

  • Krit Morton has been a mainstay both in front of and behind the scenes in the Bangkok underground community for more than ten years. His dedication extends beyond the booth: he has been crucial in witnessing the BKK scene evolve and grow together with the community that keeps the sound alive.

    His musical philosophy centres on moving the soul, finding unity, and embracing the unexpected beauty in the world. As a storyteller, his sound moves fluidly through Detroit Electro, Deep House, and Ambient, delivering sets that are abstract, profound, funky, and full of groove.
    He has performed at Maho Rasop Festival, Wonderfruit, and has support slots for international heavyweights like Helena Hauff, The Exaltics, GIGI FM, and Answer Code Request, alongside a noteworthy artistic residency at Decommune (2022-2023).

    He remains active behind the decks at key venues like 12x12, Studio Lam, Entertainment Project, and Culture Cafe. Krit actively curates the S.U.P event series and previously oversaw music curation for the innovative DIAGE Festival in 2023. He dedicates himself to the next generation by running his own DJ class, “Di Dj Academy” for Thailand's rising underground talent.
     

  • Club Mascot is the sonic identity of Panlert, a multidisciplinary artist and designer whose work seamlessly bridges the gap between the visual arts and immersive soundscapes. Driven by a lifelong devotion to music, he operates as both a DJ and producer, navigating a spectrum that spans experimental, techno, breakbeat, and ambient textures.

    A mainstay of the Thai music scene, Club Mascot has performed at premier festivals including Wonderfruit, Maho Rasop, Diage and Beatforest. As a visionary collaborator, he is the co-founder of 555, an audiovisual collective dedicated to ASEAN creative communities, and You Said You Like Dancing, a Bangkok-based collective reimagining the rave as a space for joy and collective worldbuilding.

  • Eizu 映図 is a Bangkok-based DJ known for groove-driven sets that balance energy with emotion. Blending hypnotic rhythms and dynamic progression, she creates immersive dance floor moments that feel both powerful and inviting. Drawn to the deeper side of club music, Eizu focuses on flow, tension, and thoughtful transitions rather than quick impact. Her sound moves between driving beats and atmospheric textures, building steady momentum while keeping space for connection. Whether warming up a room or pushing peak-time energy, she approaches each set with intention and a genuine love for the dance floor.

  • Mayuu is a DJ based in Bangkok, with a deep passion for electronic music, crafting immersive, story-driven sets that unfold like a journey rather than a playlist. Drawn to the hypnotic edges of Electro, Techno, Experimental, and Minimal, the sound blends subtle textures with driving rhythms, creating a balance between introspection and movement on the dancefloor. Rooted in a careful sense of progression, each selection reflects an evolving exploration of mood, tension, and sonic detail. Her approach is guided by a curiosity for sonic experimentation, where structure and unpredictability coexist. Through careful layering and contrast, the sound continuously reshapes itself, blurring the line between control and spontaneity.

  • CRSRCRSRRR is an experimental project by Thanapat Ogaslert, an artist and educator based in Bangkok. A core member of the Thai live coding community, he is the founder of SYNAP home/lab, a member of the TACETi ensemble and others, and a veteran DJ. His real-time programming performances move past physical constraints and into sonic and visual territory audiences rarely encounter.

    By directly interacting with real-time information, CRSRCRSRRR's live coding performances unfold insights into our surroundings — ranging from electrical signals and numbers to human senses. In 2024, CRSRCRSRRR appeared as a TEDx speaker, advocating deep sensing, sonic memories, and sound and visual synthesis. He currently lectures at Mahidol University and runs community workshops across Thailand and the wider region, including Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
