If I were to point out the highlights of Barefood's EP “Sullen” then it would definitely be its catchy tunes and incisive distorted guitar sounds. Three years after their first demo release in 2010 and the intense live gigs in between, Barefood's EP “Sullen” has finally been released last September 2013.
Consisting of two high school friends Ditto and Mamet, Barefood is a group influenced by the 90's alternative rock bands. Its first EP “Sullen” is a collaborative project with Anoa Records, a local independent label.
Compared to the songs in their Demo, the tracks in Sullen do not have many of subtle distinctions in terms of the music's atmosphere. However, the tracks in Sullen are far more enjoyable and well-developed. opens the EP with the catchy “You don't have to show your anger” and from that we will be given the continuous memorable tunes throughout the 23-minute CD. The additional woman's voice (Putriani Mulyadi) in is impeccable in giving a soft touch in the slower-paced track. is an upbeat closer that starts out pretty slow with less noisy and dirty bass and then goes up to a more dominant guitar playing towards the end, especially in the last one minute where Ditto successfully awes listeners with his impressive guitar playing. Just like how “Perfect Colour” is the perfect opening that attracts listeners to stay put with its catchy tune, “Droning” is also a great track to end the EP as it will leave the listeners mesmerized and crave for more.

The Acehnese Hip Hop DJ Dangerdope a.k.a Rencong invited his old friend MC Eloops into performing in the 75th The Wknd Session! With his Akai MPCs and vinyl turntable, Dangerdope's performance was intense and was the perfect companion to MC Eloops' recital of WS Rendra's critical social commentary poems. One could really expect a stunning combination of spoken literature and hip hop from their performances.
Long before Dangerdope finally could afford a vinyl, he used to use Indonesian tapes to create his music. Using Indonesian old songs as his samples, Dangerdope hopes that his act could trigger young people to listen to more Indonesian old songs as they will dig up the original music when they're searching for the samples he use.
They are now currently preparing for an album and we're definitely looking forward to it!

Why Fancy Pants? As me and Fat Cat Ffonz were joking around (it was a jolly good time) the phrase "Fancy Pants" was mentioned, and as this is a very catchy phrase it was all I can think about while making this mix. No theme to be found here involving luxurious pantalons, just the usual goodness that is music. We start of with one of the greatest Galt Macdermot composition followed by great Brazillian tunes, head bopping hip hop hits, a bit of jazzy jazz ditties, and a whole lot of good clean fun (there are some dirty as F*#@ rock tunes as well, wawaweewa!). Enjoy the variety!

Galleries are not only a home for various forms of artwork, but they also serve as a link between artists and the general public. "I personally believe that the gallery‘s role in society is to give the society access to arts," claims Ridzki Noviansyah in the latest addition to his essay series on photography. But accessibility alone is not enough. Ridzki emphasizes on the role of curators in selecting what works are presented to the audience.
A name becoming more and more familiar in Jakarta's burgeoning music scene, Sawi Lieu affinity for the strange and wonderful experimental music shines through his work in Sangsaka Worship and most recently his solo album, Pasaraya.

Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum, also known as the Museum of Fine Arts, is home to a rich collection of paintings by artists from bygone eras. And though the establishment's impressive picture gallery has amazed visitors from all around the globe over the years, the museum itself is a work of art that equally deserves the "Ohs!" and "Ahs!" of foreign and local visitors. Its beauty and crucial function as a cultural public space are what make this building an asset to this tranquil city.
