Ever since the long cold European winter forced him to spend more time indoors, jan learned to keep himself busy by listening to all kinds of music he could get his hands on. This kind of unnatural activity subsequently lead to a number of unhealthy obsession with certain artists, eras or genres for which he has since received the appropriate treatment. Now aiming to awaken the dormant music-lover that resides within every (wo)man.
Here is a mixtape consisting of songs that are clearly pop songs, songs that could have been pop songs, songs that should be considered pop songs and songs that are obviously not pop songs.

Whiteboard Journal managed to lure Aardvarck to burrow into his crate of vinyl and ended up with a mix of starts with raw club banging hip hop, honest & straight forward dirty south, cocaine rap, weird R&B, Big Boi himself, and progresses neatly into experimental nu-funk, nu-soul, dub, a little bit of jungle and of course some hardcore dubstep.
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. In Amsterdam, despite living in his own funky lair, Aardvarck the DJ, however, is one of Amsterdam’s best-known and experienced spinners/producers. Part of numerous local and international collectives, namely Rednose Distrikt, Viral Radio Amsterdam, Rush Hour and faux-Brazilian collective Mochilla, Aarvarck’s avant-garde career of hip hop, disco, funk, jazz & new wave goes back 25 years. The digger can also count Thom Yorke of Radiohead as a fan!
The second time Bergas Haryadita sent Whiteboard Journal a mix, it is this one called "Summer Cuts" which features a mix of uplifting and relaxing tracks. This is what Bergas had to say about the mix:
It’s always a pleasure when Max asked me to do a mix and this one is no different and his lovely Icha new born baby Odetta… WELCOME =) And this mix is also for all my friends who just had or is now raising their precious little ones that make them smile and rejoice the joy of being here. I’m feeling the warm and sunny side of the season now, it’s June and winter dressed up and left the building! So check these ‘Summer Cuts’, put on the shades and pop a cold one with the loved ones because summer is definitely here to hang =) -B

Back when Whiteboard Journal first started, Bergas Haryadita contributed this mix to W_Music. Three years later he is one of the chief contributor to its content! Here is what Bergas had to say about this mix he titled N.G.A.D.M.I.X.
When WHITEBOARD JOURNAL asked me to do a mix, i felt so honoured and really happy that i can share my music to a whole new audience….hopefully. This particular mix is really a dedication to my friend Mo Morris the man, the mystery and the talented musician behind the band A MOUNTAIN OF ONE. Some of the songs in this mix were introduced to me by him and he even give me those records which i now cherish hopefully for the rest of my life!
The opening tune on this mix is taken from the newest A MOUNTAIN OF ONE- INSTITUTE OF JOY E.P which properly titled. Hail Pleasure, a blissed drum chanting Cozy Powel style!!! Anyway, A MOUNTAIN OF ONE just released a new album which is out now called INSTITUTE OF JOY, and they will be touring Europe and Japan pretty soon. Who knows they might be coming to Jakarta someday hehehehe
Until then get their new album or if you are lucky, their first album is also something to die for =)
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the mix and thank you again for having me!!!
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.
