My love affair with Cambodian music started by listening to Dengue Fever many moons ago. Through them, I was introduced to the wonderful world of Cambodian psychedelic rock, pop, and folk that was flourishing before the Khmer Rouge. Sinn Sisamouth and Ros Sereysothea are two of the most prominent and prolific artists of their time along with Pan Ron, Houy Meas, and other artists that made it into this compilation. Sadly, most, if not all, of these talented musicians disappeared during the reign of Khmer Rouge. Such a tremendous loss for the country's most treasured talents. Come Here Cambo serves as a homage to the eclectic Cambodian sound in the 60's and 70's, in addition to Dengue Fever rounding off the selection by covering Genjer Genjer, a controversial Indonesian song relating to communism back in the days.

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.

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.
