Nearly a decade after his first Thai show at the launch edition of Hostess Club Bangkok in 2015, Canadian producer Dan Snaith — better known as Caribou — is finally coming back. He headlines the Maho Rasop Series: Caribou (Live) By Have You Heard? at Ambience Space in Bangkok on November 27.

The gig opens the latest season of the series, which brings distinctive international acts to Bangkok with backing from three of Thailand's biggest music promoters: Have You Heard?, Seen Scene Space and Fungjai.

Caribou has been one of electronic music's most influential projects since the early 2000s, which is fitting given Snaith holds a PhD in mathematics. His sound blends electronic dance rhythms, psychedelic pop and experimental textures, often built from carefully layered loops and inventive samples. Albums like Swim earned a Polaris Music Prize nomination in 2010 and anodated breakthrough moments; Our Love picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album in 2016, while earlier records Andorra and Do Can't You Without You, Odessa, Sun and Home remain fan favourites.

His live reputation is global. Tour dates have taken him to major festivals worldwide, including Coachella, Primavera Sound, Fuji Rock, Bonnaroo, Reading and Leeds, and Glastonbury. Expect an expansive five-piece band setup: Snaith transforms his electronic compositions live with keyboards, drums, percussion and other instruments, giving the tracks a far bigger, more physical feel than the studio versions.

Fans of his recent output will recognise the arc. His club-leaning Daphne project explored more experimental floor-focused material with Four Tet and Floating Points; 2024's Honey returned to Caribou with a danceable but soulful record, and this year's collaborative work with So Long and Facilitate continued in the same vein.

The supporting line-up is local and strong. Thai electronic duo NCDX opens the evening — Charin Napinla and Lukpue Purinrat blend dream pop and synth pop with futuristic electronic soundscapes, and have grown noticeably darker and more immersive since their debut album Connect and the track Tpog. Their set offers a local counterpoint before Caribou takes the stage.

Tickets cost 2,700 THB and are available through thaiticketmajor.com. For anyone heading to Bangkok in late November, this is a rare chance to catch one of electronic music's most respected live acts in an intimate setting — worth building a city break around.
