Sharing their first recordings, Bonobo included Khruangbin's ‘A Calf Born In Winter’ on his 2013 Late Night Tales compilation. The tour galvanised the two to start making music together more seriously, with DJ - he and Mark have played in the same gospel band for years - the natural choice for drums. The seeds of Khruangbin were sown when Mark and Laura were invited to tour with Ninja Tune's YPPAH supporting Bonobo across his 2010 American tour. Taking influence from 1960's Thai funk - their name literally translates to "Engine Fly" in Thai. Texan trio Khruangbin is formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums.
