DJs Mike 2600 (Burlesque) and Prince Klassen (Fully Fitted / Austin TX) are sharing a brand new mix of '60s and '70s psych rock and funk tunes from Cambodia and Thailand. Named after the Khmer word for fireworks, ""Kamchruoch"" is 60 minutes of explosive rock, mind-numbing psychedelia, and no-frills funk.
