Slot Machine
About author
It’s not easy for a Thai rock band to stay at the top of their game and maintain their popularity for 10 years. But Slot Machine is that band. And they continue to grow, becoming better musicians, expanding their horizons and gaining new fans by the day.
Slot Machine started off as a group of high school boys competing in national music contests. Since their teenage days, they have gone through stylistic changes and seen the transition from the cassette age to the digital music age. The one thing that has remained constant is their devotion to music.
Slot Machine released their self-title debut album in 2004 featuring a hit singles ‘Ro’ (I’m Waiting For You). Followed by ‘Mutation’ in 2006, produced by Scott Moffatt, former member of Canadian boy band The Moffatts. Scott added a new element to their music, and the album produced two megahits: ‘Phan’ (Yesterday) and ‘Kham Sutthai’ (Song for U). Shortly after the release of their second album, Slot Machine was chosen as opening act for Linkin Park’s Bangkok concert in front of 30,000 fans.
In 2008, the band released their third studio album, ‘Grey’. It was a more challenging album featuring a more experimental sound on songs like ‘Fan’ (Dream) and ‘Rue Du’ (Grey Sky), but fans embraced the band’s continued musical evolution and their outstanding live performances saw the band continuing to grow.
However, it was their fourth studio album ‘Cell’ in 2011, which really shot Slot Machine into the stratosphere as one of Thailand’s greatest rock bands. The Montonn “Jay” Jira-produced set was named ‘Album of The Year’ and the group was pronounced ‘Best Group Artist’ in numerous media awards. Hit tracks from the album included ‘Chan Chao’ (Goodbye) and ‘Phra Athit Songklot’ (Golden Age).
Following on the success of ‘Cell’, 2013 was Slot Machine’s golden year. They were nominated for the ‘Best Southeast Asian Act’ at the MTV Europe Music Awards, and their ongoing work with MTV on the network’s Human Trafficking Awareness concerts culminated in the band performing on the same stage as Jason Mraz at the MTV EXIT LIVE IN MYANMAR charity concert held to raise awareness about human-trafficking at the People’s Square, Schwedagon, Yangon, before 70,000 people.
Slot Machine was again nominated for Best Southeast Act at the MTV EMA’s in 2014 – and in the same year released their fifth album, ‘Rainbow’, produced by talented Australian producer, Daniel Denholm. The album included the hits ‘Rung’ (Rainbow) and ‘Khloem’ which had over 62 million hits on YouTube.
At the end of 2014, Slot Machine celebrated their 10th anniversary by performing a live concert - ‘Slot Machine – The First Contact’ at Impact Arena, Thailand’s largest indoor concert venue with a capacity of 15,000.
And now, the band’s next adventure involves taking on the international market. Slot Machine’s first all-English album will be released in early 2016. The move might seem like a big gamble, but Slot Machine has always been willing to take risks, and the band members believe the time is right. With the help of six-time Grammy Award-winning producer, Steve Lillywhite who has worked with U2, The Rolling Stones, The Killers and 30 Seconds to Mars, the album heralds a new chapter in the band’s career.
Slot Machine vocalist Foet shared his experiences working with the legendary producer: “We have worked with foreign producers before but Steve was different. He has worked with the world’s biggest bands. It was an amazing experience for us to work with him. He saw us performing live and wanted to work with us! Steve is very easy to work with and he made us all feel at ease. The one-month period flew by so quickly. At first, we planned to work on just four tracks, but before we knew it, we had completed the entire album.” The album was recorded in a productive one-month burst at Karma Sound Studios.
Steve Lillywhite shared his views on seeing the band live for the first time, “I was amazed by both their musical talent and the age of their audience, who, for a rock band, were young. It’s my rule that I must see a band perform live first before deciding whether to work with them. Slot Machine impressed me. It was great to see the young audience enjoying their music. It’s new to me. I thought I could help the band reach another level.”
“We rarely see the real band these days. The four of them have different characters but when they’re together, they are great. They have a singer who has a unique voice, with music that is intelligent and hard-hitting.
Gak, the band’s bassist, talked about his expectations on their first English album: “We want to challenge ourselves and see how far we can go. We believe in our music. Thai culture and Thai food are well-known across the world and I think we can make Thai music international, too.”
Support the band on their new and exciting journey. The first single ‘Give It All To You’ is out on 27 July, from their upcoming album ‘Spin The World’.

standard cell 在 Re: [問題] 關於standard cell layout - 看板Electronics 的推薦與評價
※ 引述《andy19930905 (andy19930905)》之銘言：
: 目前在弄一個D型正反器
: 但目前有點苦惱 因為據說standard cell layout
: 跟一般數位電路layout 差異不小 聽說金屬是可
: 以在poly上走線的 然後我是只能用1p2m
cell 的 layout 為了配合自動繞線軟體，出 pin 的位置最好可以跟 grid
多幾個交點，同時 cell power line 寬度要一致，DRC問題也要考量旁邊的
cell 密合相接時的DRC問題，因此通常也會規定最大的PMOS/NMOS寬度，超過
的部分要用併聯來畫。
: .18製程 某些source drain的contact 好像為了走線方便可
: 以挖掉 請問大部分的standard cell都這樣
: 設計嗎？
怎麼畫不是重點，上面的規則比較重要。另外奇數層(M1,M3,M5..)金屬只能走橫向，
偶數層(M2,M4,M6..)金屬只能走垂直方向。
: 理想型是vdd vss旁都不能有poly 走線?
power line 因為在自動佈局繞線中會跟上下的 cell 共用，所以要考慮在這種
情況下，是不是有些 layer 不能太靠近 power line。另外像 NWELL contact，
和 PSUB contact因此就通常會刻意離開 power line 一些距離，而不能夠在
power line 裡面放置這些 WELL contact。
: 還是有些數位電路會因為設計的限制而不能
: 用standard cell的方式走線 想好好理解這個
沒這種事，所有的數位電路都可以畫成符合 standard cell 的要求的形式，
不過通常 standard cell 只用 M1 來繞線，除非你用的製程有九層以上的金屬層，
那才會用 M1/M2 來畫 standard cell。
