-----About
Montonn (Jay) Jira : is best known for his multi-genre crossing productions and forward thinking performances. Having studied music composition and production abroad, he has also expanded his knowledge into sound design for music and film, and has returned to Thailand as "The Producer" to watch out for.
Hailing from a rock solid production background, Montonn has been making a name for himself in both local and international music circles. 2007 saw him sign up as the musical director and programmer for the Neptunes' produced project, Kenna. This allowed him the opportunity to tour the world with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode, and Fischerspooner, not to mention, perform at one of the largest concert events of all time, Live Earth.
His roles as producer, arranger, engineer, musician, and DJ have gained him all-round respect from critics worldwide. After some notable remixes for local artists Modern Dog, Siam Secret Service, Penguin Villa, and The Crub, Montonn has been releasing his own electronic infused tracks on the Bangkok label Smallroom. His work has also recently been remixed by the likes of Pheek (Archipel, Alphahouse) [A]ppendics Shuffle (City Slang, Mute) and Violett (Einmaleins, Lo Mid High, Ilian, Tape Telegraph, Igloo). His release on MONSTERecs (titled Samutprakarn Sound Remixes EP 1) has led to the creation of his own Samutprakarn Sound imprint, which will be home to all of his future releases.
Montonn continues to surprise audiences and create with a passion for his craft. Whether it be bringing new sounds to the dance floors, or well crafted pop songs to peoples living rooms, making the "Samutprakarn Sound" heard is what Montonn Jira lives for.

- Whadddup!! Skateboard P and Smirnoff Australia for some Neptune flavor. How do we get him on the BKK/SamutprakarnSound remix campaign for next year??!?
- Just finished a short interview and photo shoot for In Style magazine regarding good parties and party elements. We got some good pics of #samutprakarnsound studios in there. Check out the piece in the November issue of In Style magazine.
- I want to give a big thanks to Fat Radio and all it's listeners for giving us the Record of the Year award for "Jahn Jao (Goodbye)" It's not often that you can create something different and still have people appreciate your efforts in realizing that vision. When Joni and I won the same award for "Go Now" almost 10 years ago... it was the exact same scenario. Goes to show, It's probably better not to follow trends when you have the ability to create them.... Thanks Again!
- Why haven't Prah Jao Jord been asked back to perform at Rachamangkala stadium this year?? The fans are furious, and they will riot if a week of shows is not booked. Get it now while prices are low, because after today's "Record of the Year award".. and the fact that the Raptor Show sold out in 3 hours... You have the most in demand artists this country has ever seen. Get on it!! #samutprakarnsound
- 'Jahn Jao' is up for a Fat "Record of the Year" award. I'm not really sure who we're up against, but I'm guessing its going to be the usual contenders. Luckily for us..we've got the Samutprakarn Sound on our side, and I don't think there's anything out there to match it.. #samutprakarnsound
- For those of you who haven't had a chance to take a listen, be sure to check out this months' Samutprakarn Select Sounds. It'll be the perfect start to your Sunday, or save it for tomorrow and have it run as your anthem all week! Turn it up loud and let your neighbors know about it as well! #samutprakarnsound.. educating the masses.
- It's party season! Got money to throw around? Montonn will DJ your event for a good sum of money! Get your bookings in now! First come, first served. Plenty to go around. Booking details on my Facebook fan page :) TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO! YEEEHAWWW MUTHAAA
