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.

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!
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.
