One half of Erik und Erika, Erik Pauhrizi is an artist that has successfully paved his own way to success. Barely over 30 years of age, Pauhrizi has exhibited his work everywhere from Indonesia, Shanghai, Germany, to New York City. What is most intriguing about the artist, though, is his approach to art. As Whiteboard Journal spoke to Pauhrizi, it became more and more apparent that he would like to promote the democratic value of the arts.
It would be wise and accurate to label Jonathan ‘Ojon’ Kusuma as one of the modern pioneers of Indonesian electronic music. Through his partnership with Aryo Adhianto they formed Space System, one of Jakarta’s most respected electronic/disco/house/psych groups, which saw their records released on Glasgow’s Optimo Music and Italy’s Pizzico Records. Having had experience in playing metal, punk and electro-disco as well as having a sizeable record collection, Ojon has also recently established one of Jakarta’s best online vinyl stores, Akamady Music. To listen to Ojon spin his favourite records, do head down to W_Music’s Cliff Notes Vol.4.

While we patiently wait for M.I.A.'s latest album, Matangi, to be released (with a mid April scheduled release) we can listen to this mix she made for Kenzo's Paris fashion show. The 8 minute and 27 seconds-long mix is a banger from beginning to end, with a selection of bass-heavy songs mixed together, culminating in M.I.A. spitting a dope braggadocios verse that will most likely appear in Matangi.
Eversince it was released late last year with its disturbing image of a bleeding baby's face, I've been bopping my head to Unknown Mortal Orchestra's "Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)", the single to their sophomore album, 'II', revolves around a very catchy guitar lick that is complemented by a driven drum - it's a good listen. Well now the song has a video to accompany it, and it features masturbating puppets (yes, masturbating puppets). The self-pleasing puppets are only a small (but significant and totally memorable) part of the story of a character going through the motions of self discovery. The creative team did a fine job of making this puppet world come to life - colorful, animated, and detailed. I didn't expect the group to couple "Swim and Sleep (Like a Shark)" with puppets, and with it dealing with adult situations we're treated to a twisted music video. I like.
