The Roots: Undun
Undun is The Roots most ambitious and shortest record to date. Clocking in at only 39 minutes, the Sufjan Stevens-inspired album nevertheless tells an urban tale of the unmentioned death of a street thug told in reverse. Here band leader ?uestlove, mistakenly thinking he was Gaspar Noé and Charles Burnett (just look at the Killer […]
Ferns’ Fairweather Friends
On Botany, Ferns’ debut album, was one of the few local releases to have garnered acclaims from foreign opinion makers. Rolling Stones named them as one of the top 25 Myspace bands of 2007, Paste Magazine included single ‘Disaster Strikes Again’ on their podcast, and they were included in several best of list. What’s a […]
Amy Winehouse: Lioness: Hidden Treasures
Gauging the success of a posthumous release is an exercise in diplomatic and controlled criticism. It’s not that as reviewers we fear reader backlash, rather it’s a natural reaction to commenting on what could be the last few materials your favourite recently deceased artist has left you with. Amy Winehouse was a prodigious talent whose […]
Blue Daisy : Cinematic Electronica
We got to chat with winner of Mojo’s Best Electronic Album of 2011, Blue Daisy, and found out why he doesn’t identify with being a “beat maker”, the importance of Yeezy’s College Dropout and the philosophy behind his name.
Oceans: Endless Waves
There must be something about the little island down south of our borders, they’re having an electronic renaissance as of late while we are still bro-ing off. JUICE first heard of Oceans when he dropped a beat prior to Samiyam’s set at Home Club, Singapore, as part of Syndicate SG’s Beat Invitational and immediately took […]
Iman Omari’s Free Energy
Categorising Iman Omari with The Weeknd and Frank Ocean would be wrongheaded, sure he’s using the same modus operandi (free album-quality releases online), but his brand of r’n’b is more akin to Bilal, had he joined Brainfeeder. Hailing from LA, Low End Theory’s home state, Iman’s recent release Energy is more in debt to the […]
Purple Naked Ladies on the Internet
No, it’s not porn. Despite what Tegan & Sara (and clueless Sufjan Steven-listening journos) would like to lead you to believe about the OFWGKTA crew, they’ve always had a lesbian member and never made much of a fuss about it – till accusations of homophobia were thrown around that is. Subgroup The Internet – consisting […]

Jabèplastik: Britrock Wisdom
Hafiz Rafar has been involved in the music scene for the past 15 years, evolving from one genre to another and at one point the drummer of afternoon tea before deciding to pursue his own career. Now based in the UK and known as Jabèplastik, he’s busy dabbling in electronic instruments, channeling them through tunes […]
Jin Hackman: Rapping Up 2011
It might be 3 days late, but Jin Hackman’s ‘2011 Rap Up’ is worth the wait. Namechecking everything political, apolitical, regionally meme-worthy, obligatory Caprice diss, and sh*t that’s just culturally relevant throughout the year, the track is cleverly written to both ridicule some of those and walk the fine line of diplomatic shout out and […]
