PRΔD@NΔ: Chop-Screwy Suey
If it weren’t for his talent, we could never forgive PrΔd@nΔ for his painfully hard-to-spell hipster nom de producteur (just as you’d never forgive us for the pretentious use of a French phrase here). Being something of a walking music encyclopaedia, PrΔd@nΔ was into every niche electronic genre before everyone else. Heck, he was a […]
Mushroom Buttons: Pushing The Right Buttons
You might remember him as Phrozt from our 2008 Cool List but he’d rather have you forget his hip hop past. Jason Chee aka Mushroom Buttons belongs in the same category as another beatmaker with the same first name, Nosaj Thing – midi pad-armed and experimental without seeming pretentious. Mushroom Buttons – You Would Never […]
Oliver Huntemann: Paranoia
Techno doesn’t get a lot of respect or wider recognition in electronic music these days. More prone to conjure stereotypical imageries of E-laden youths in dingy underground London clubs than music critic acknowledgment, it is fitting that Oliver Huntemann’s Paranoia happens to be released at this point of the genre’s growth. With it, not only […]
And the Ultimate 212 VIP Is…
After a long while since we first posted the Ultimate 212 VIP contest we’ve finally got ourselves a worthy VIP! Days of wading through hundreds of pictures – some meme-worthy, some with genuine VIP swag – and a lengthy deliberation see us deciding on the machismo of one cat who would make Barney Stinson proud. […]
Dum Dum Girls: Only In Dreams
Dum Dum Girls is one vintage venerating band that could easily be dismissed as just that, yet another retro reverent band. But that would be reductive criticism. Informed by France’s yé-yé (a contemporary example would be April March of ‘Chick Habit’ fame), they’ve certainly gotten enough criticism of that from their debut. Sophomore album Only […]
Win 6 Pairs of Passes to The Twelves @ Zouk KL
We’re giving away a pair of passes to The Twelves to 6 lucky readers! The Twelves might be relatively unknown to the uninitiated, but these Rio de Janeiro natives have been dubbed the Brazilian Daft Punk. First known for their acclaimed remix of M.I.A’s ‘Boyz’, the duo quickly rose to dance prominence and shared stages […]
Feist: Metals
It’s a music critic cliché to claim an artist has grown every time they release a new record. So we’ll do one better and say that Feist has always had the maturity despite her traipsing the fine (and rickety) line between artistry and commercial success. You’ve known her through obvious hits like ‘1, 2, 3, […]
La Série de Roquettes
Oh Chentaku’s vocalist Myo has more to offer the world than just his vocal chords and indie pop rock. Rocket Show Series is one alternative way he contributes to the music scene. Inspired by La Blogotheque and the heaps of YouTube generation music videos, Myo records acoustic performances by some of the best known independent […]
Alias: Fever Dream
Anticon was the de facto hip hop collective that was changing the sound of the genre. Being made of predominantly white boys, the then collective (now a record label) built a reputation as experimenters of a type of music that was stubborn to the idea of changing. This naturally led to their distancing themselves from […]
Salam: Relevant Reggae
Reggae is a difficult genre to tackle, especially in Malaysia where it is more commonly associated with rockers way past their prime who still sport dreadlocks and speak in bad faux patois. It’s either that…
