RomRom are delighted to be welcoming two artists from the Guruguru Brain Label, namely Kribo Records & Khana Bierbood for a live show like no other.

Kribo Records is an independant record label founded by Haqim "Maggot" Isa in 2017.

Maggot is a Singapore-born producer and multi-instrumentalist who is currently based in Bali. He is the primary architect of the label's "Sounds of Lecak" aesthetic, characterized by a raw, "muddy" blend of 1960s and 70s soul, funk, surf, and psych-rock.

The term "Lecak" (Malay for wet or muddy) describes his signature production style since 2010—clean, jangly and twangy, cheap sounding old crappy guitars with spring reverb, and reminiscent of a vintage 70s film soundtrack featuring wah-wah pedals and Rhodes pianos.

His work is deeply influenced by his Bawaen & Malay parents and the Nusantara archipelago's cultural landscape, blending Western funk with regional styles like Thai Luk Thung, Molam, Arab Disco, and Afrobeat.

Maggot operates out of a studio filled with vintage gear located above a bean curd shop in Geylang, Singapore.He records and plays almost every instrument on every Kribo Records release, often using various pseudonyms like "Golden Mile Band" or "Wah Wah Thai".

A major compilation of his work (Sounds Of Lecak Vol. 1) released on vinyl through a collaboration with The Analog Vault and Guruguru Brain.He has worked with a diverse range of artists including Go Kurosawa (Kikagaku Moyo), The Stoned Revivals and Akid Amir. His work has also been featured in a number of international movies and major commercials.

Maggot built his label in the mold of vintage-focused houses like Daptone,Big Crown and Batov Records. His process is notoriously prolific, often releasing tracks from different alter egos—ranging from 8-bit girl group styles to garage rock—within days of each. He currently has over 100 releases online.

Khana Bierbood (or คณะเบียร์บูด, translated as "Strange Brew" in Thai) is a Thai psychedelic rock and surf band formed in 2012 in the beachside town of Bangsaen. They are internationally renowned for blending 1960s and 1970s Western garage rock with traditional Thai genres like Luk Thung and Molam.

Support is provided by RomRom residents, Pez, Tam & Dangdut Banget, as well as further support from Eri of Barang Rekod.
