Cereal Nation’s Memphis No.2

Continuing the successful run of their first and second collection, Cereal Nation returns with their latest Memphis Movement-inspired collection. Memphis movement was first made popular by a post-modernist designer based in Milan known for challenging formality in design. By taking the same inspiration, Cereal Nation Memphis No. 2 still explores a more playful approach of more pop colors, swirls, and patterns.

Aardvark

As a small teaser to what people can expect from his eagerly-awaited guest spot at W_Music’s Cliff Notes later on in the month, Aardvarck did his famed chopping and slicing routine to create this eclectic masterpiece: an exclusive ‘Hello Jakarta’ mix involving many exciting things that defines his spinning style. While the mix is too varied to detail all the different genres involved, you can expect a bit of jazz, quite a lot of hip-hop, a few soul skits, some club bangers, a pinch of reggae, a healthy injection of dubstep & jungle as well as a steady flow of funk. In South Africa, the Aardvark, sometimes called “antbear”, “anteater”, “Cape anteater” “earth hog” or “earth pig”, is a medium-sized, burrowing, nocturnal animal that feeds almost exclusively on ants and termites. Yet in Bali, despite living in his own funky lair, Aardvarck the DJ is one of Holland’s best-known and experienced underground spinners/producers. Having released records on numerous collectives and labels, namely Rush Hour Recordings, Delsin, Eat Concrete and faux-Brazilian LA-Based collective Mochilla, he has also released a host of mixtapes for celebrated publications such as FACT Magazine and Little White Earbuds. Aarvarck’s avant-garde career of hip hop, disco, funk, jazz & new wave goes back more than 25 years and can also count Thom Yorke of Radiohead as a fan!

Vol.06: Polka Wars

Many musicians are predictable. There is almost no line separating one track and the next, and the next, and the next. As important it is for a band to have a distinctive style that can, and should, strengthen its identity, it is just as important to have a bit of diversity to keep the music fresh. Polka Wars, which joined the dynamic Jakarta music scene in the beginning of 2010, is one of the bands that attempts to present something new. And though their music is not the kind that would be perfect to accompany you on a slow, Sunday afternoon, the volume of the combined sounds of guitars, drums, and recently, a saxophone, evokes strong emotions without draining your energy. Though they’ve been active for over two years, in 2012 the group consisting of principal members Karaeng Adjie, Giovanni Rahmadeva, Xandega Tahajuansya & Billy Saleh gained a lot of attention from the media, concert organizers and avid music goers.
