A year ago a small collective of like-minded technical music heads got together and started talking. A common point kept coming up again and again. In short there was a missing piece to the underground music scene here in Thailand. No air-play for good quality non-commercial genre music.
The collective immediately took up the challenge to create that scene, filling the internet superhighway and the Bangkok clubs with fresh, exciting music from the very best talent we could source locally in and around Thailand.
UB Radio… Was Born!!
Now 12 months on. UB radio is full speed ahead, with 100 DJ’s giving input, 50+ LIVE shows every week, regular parties around the city and a fan base/listening community of thousands worldwide.
UB Radio passionately continues daily to push the envelope for the underground scene in Bangkok even further into uncharted territories. Defining a new era of accessibility and interaction to the music we love and the parties we live for.
The journey has still only just begun and together we can continue to progress the scene on a whole, making our dreams become a reality.
A massive “Thank You” to each and every one of you for the love & support you have shown to UB. We appreciate it so much with the utmost sincerity. Without your involvement we would not be where we are or who we are!
With much love,
The UB Radio Crew

16 Bit Lolitas Bio:
Peter Kriek and Ariaan Olieroock had been making music on their own for some time before joining forces and becoming 16 Bit Lolitas in 2003. This collaboration quickly produced a wave of releases. Tracks such as The Puppet Show, Destiny, My Lexicon, Stereo Control and the epic Sednaa quickly followed on labels as diverse as Yoshitoshi, Alternative Route , Release, Sadie, Plastic Fantastic, Nu Republic, Armada, Minimal, DK and LMR. They then decided to keep control of most of their material starting their own successful imprint “Bits and Pieces” shooting off club hit after hit. A hectic few years has propelled the boys into the spotlight where their crisp creations have carved out a sound that is both cool and sophisticated. It embraces all that is good about House music.
Peter and Ariaan consistently turn in tight productions that stand out in a crowded market place. Each piece of electronic music is patiently crafted and produced with emotion and care. It’s music that creates atmospheres as well as delivering a killer blow without the need of resorting to overused and obvious gimmicks.
At the end of 2008 the 16 Bit Lolitas released their first ultimate collection of music when they launched the “Live At Warung” mix album series, from Brazil’s ultimate Beach Club on Hope Recordings/Bits and Pieces. It featured upfront underground sounds, handpicked from across the globe to add a shimmer but also featured a large proportion (in fact one whole disc) of their own unreleased material. Why? Well speak to Ariaan about his DJ sets and he’ll tell you that they often write material just for this purpose, more than able to nail the mood required in the studio and then put their money where their mouth is at the club. Many DJs will play some of their own productions but not whole sets of it.
