When your host with the most, Januar Kristianto, asked me if I wanted to make a special Converge episode of Heart Attack I had to immediately say yes as this Massachusetts metal-hardcore band played a big role in my youth. The group's atmospheric, heavy and often spastic music caught my attention at the first listen, and their constant evolution of sound kept me anticipating their next releases. The following are some of my favorite songs by the group, particularly from When Forever Comes Crashing, The Poacher Diaries split with Agoraphobic Nosebleed, You Fail Me, Petitioning the Empty Sky, the Caring and Killing compilation and perhaps their most famous album of all, Jane Doe.
I unfortunately could not find my collection of original Converge CDs, so some of the songs here come from remastered albums. I hope that you will be able to listen to the original releases because the gloomy production of When Forever Comes Crashing and Petitioning the Empty Sky's rawness really added atmosphere to those albums (or perhaps I'm just being nostalgic). Whether you are a long time listener of Converge or you are unfamiliar with their music, I hope you will enjoy this mix!

Episode ketiga Loka Suara Live menampilkan rapper Matter Mos di mana ia bercerita tentang bagaimana ia berangkat dari vokalis band metalcore menjadi salah satu nama penting di skena hip-hop hari ini.
Memperkenalkan salah satu seri video terbaru di Whiteboard Journal, Loka Suara Live. Pengembangan dari channel W_Music yang kini lahir kembali dalam format video.
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.
We invited Polka Wars to perform at Studio Taman on a Sunday afternoon. Enlisting the help of noisemaker Sawi Lieu to play the synth and Gerinov to play the saxophone, Polka Wars performance brought a full and lively rendition of their momentum-driven music.

Influenced by The Who, The Beatles - among several other legends of the 1960s and 1970s - these two brothers are recognized in the independent music sphere of Indonesia for their brand of rock and roll. Perhaps the comfort of performing with someone you are tied to by blood has also impacted the way The Experience perform their songs, all of which are in English. The casual, but confident vibe of this two-man band is what makes their performances memorable. Their debut album, Summer of Love, was released in 2007 and their second album, Eye Contact, made it to the third rank on Rolling Stone's Top Ten Charts in 2011. We invited the duo to practice and recording space Studio Taman in Kemang a month ago and they showed us why they are a group that everybody has their eyes on.
