It also involves a movement of the human state of mind and emotions. This month, Whiteboard Journal offers a selection of books that explore the broad theme of "travelling," all of which are available at Kinokuniya stores in Jakarta.

This awesome 14th edition mix of  (this one focuses on the year 1992) from the good chaps at is not to be slept on. "After a tour of the 80s, the crew digs into the genre as it becomes a pop culture phenomenom in the 90s. Starting with the jazzy samples of the Native Tongues movement in the early part of the decade, with groups like A Tribe Called Quest and the Jungle Brothers, the series moves into the gangster pop of the East Coast/West Coast rivalry. Theres plenty of Biggie, Tupac, Dre, Snoop, Wu-Tang, Jay-Z, club classics, forgotten singles, the start of the indie era with Rawkus, and flavors from different parts of the country as the genre expanded to the South."

Cliff Notes Vol.04: Gratts (We Play House)

W_Music’s Cliff Notes is a monthly music event at Kemang’s Cafe Mondo with a simple goal: a place where people can get-together and relax while nodding their heads to various styles of music booming through the speakers. Each month will feature W_Music resident spinners in the form of Bergas and Fat Cat Ffonz plus a well-selected guest performer, disc jockey, or musician who will be asked to share their taste of music with all. Head boppers, finger snappers and hip shakers, this one is for you! Gratts is what you would call a DJ, not a producer-cum-DJ-for-the-sake-of-scoring-dollars-and-chicks, although the latter is still up for debate. His enthusiasm and knowledge of underground dance music led him to curate the house section for the website in Brussels, together with long-time friend Kong. Gratts also hosts ‘’, dedicated to togetherness and deep, timeless house music. Throughout the years, Gratts has had the honour of sharing the decks with djs like , and among others, as well as playing warm up sets for gigs by or. To listen to Gratts on the wheels-of-steel, do head down to W_Music’s Cliff Notes Vol.5. Gratts - Toujours Ensemble by Laid Back on Mixcloud
