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 […]

Love Me Butch: Worldwide Transgression

Formed in 1997, Love Me Butch is one band that refuses to be labelled as a one hit wonder. Instead of sitting on the fame they had gained with their 2005 single ‘Hollywood Holiday’, the quartet strived for regional acclamation by touring most of Southeast Asia. The band has since opened for international bands like […]

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 […]

Marionexxes: Sexy Indie Pop

‘Harimau Malaya’ might be the song they are best known for commercially but it was ‘Marilyn Monroe’ that cemented their presence to us. Their brand of subversive pop punk mixed with transcendental Engrish lyrics (this is not snark, honest) on the latter track is heightened to great effect on ‘Pop’, the first single off their […]
