Additionally, both CD titles are now in housed in digipaks and feature an expended 20-page booklet for Dengue Fever while Escape features a fold out poster.
"Since acquiring our back catalog a few years back, we've always talked about doing deluxe editions of all of Dengue Fever's out-of-print titles properly on our own label," said Dengue Fever bassist and Tuk Tuk Records Co-owner Senon Williams. "Our primary goal was to get our first albums Dengue Fever and Escape From Dragon House back in print first with bonus material plus other upgrades and use it as a template to upgrade the rest of our back catalog moving forward."

Praised by critics and fans alike, Dengue Fever are often lauded as a rare combination of garage rock, psychedelic rock, Khmer rock, world music and the almost lost rich Cambodian music from the 1960's and '70's. Their high energy live shows and musical evolution which began covering Khmer classics in 2003 and has featured original composition from that point forward, have made them a must-see act more than a decade after they began. Coverage in outlets such as NPR, New York Times, BBC, Pitchfork, Mojo, Later with
Jools Holland and more, has afforded the band an opportunity to tour on nearly every continent including Brazil, Australia, Russia, Korea, Hong Kong and soon Abu Dhabi.
