Mutiara "Gasebu" 2016 EP

At the age of 16, she wrote her first song. She recorded it on a cheap acoustic guitar and sent it via WhatsApp to someone who would eventually become her producer and manager. A few days earlier, in September 2014, a Q&A session was held for an interview to accept new members of a student arts unit called Gasebu (Arts & Culture Gallery) at a private campus on the eastern outskirts of Purwokerto. The interview took place between an applicant, a new student who felt the need to hone her singing talent at Gasebu, and one of Gasebu's founders. It turned out that the interview would ultimately change the course of the 16-year-old student's life. This is the second release for the Purwokerto-based record label, noend records ,after the recent release of an EP by fusion trio Adie Unyiel & The Bawor in September 2015. "Our city isn't synonymous with the culture of recording music and immortalizing it on an album. Our city wants to change to catch up with other cities that have been doing this for years. This city is not only a perfect target market for the music industry, but it's also capable of doing the opposite, becoming a producer of music and then marketing it to other cities. The main factor isn't capital, as has been widely discussed as a barrier to album production in our scene, but rather intention. Whether or not there is that intention." That's what Aziz No End, the founder of Noend Records, said, who also acted as producer of Mutiara's mini album. "Love Burn" is thick with screaming guitars and blues singing , chosen as the first single. Created by Mutiara, with the help of Diar Wisnu Paramarta, Satria Ramadhan and Kurniadi in the music arrangement and melody department. Tells the story of a complicated love, too burned to the point of obsolescence, then fragile but unable to separate. It is a record of Mutiara's personal experience. "Love Burn" is the last song created by Mutiara among the other songs on Gasebu. Made in less than one night, based on the request of Aziz No End who at that time was preparing a gig titled Colok & Bermain #1, in the context of a tour by a male singer named Gabriel Mayo who would visit the city of Purwokerto the following day. Coincidentally, Mutiara was appointed as the opening act before Mayo's turn to perform. "Tomorrow you have to perform a new song in front of the audience," was the request from Aziz to Mutiara. Finally, Mutiara invited her usual bandmates, Satria Ramadhan on guitar and Diar Wisnu on bass, to come into the studio and practice the new song, which she had conceived the night before the gig. Mutiara hadn't yet found a suitable title for the song. When it was her turn to perform the next day, Plug and Play #1 officially became the release date for her new, untitled song. For Mutiara, Gasebu is a second home. She found family there. The warmth, joy, happiness, pain, struggles, and the silly and embarrassing stories that are common for young women who are still students. And most importantly, her experience of finding her identity through music was absolutely obtained during her almost two years in Gasebu. This reason ultimately determined the title of her debut album Gasebu. A tribute to the place that has brought her to this point. Gasebu contains five songs, all of which were written by Mutiara. "Pilihan Terakhir" , "Biru" , "Love Burn" , "Sad Man" , "Dimensi Jiwa" , each with its own distinct style and musical color. The strength of Mutiara's distinctive vocal characteristics is one of the important things that is interesting to listen to. Her role as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who successfully made her recording debut at the relatively young age of 18. Furthermore, her emergence comes from a city that has long been considered not to have a good culture regarding the production of recordings by its musicians.

Jason Ranti X Dongker “I Don’t Know and I Dongker”2025 Indonesia,Alternative,Punk,Folk,Pop Rock

full spotify

I Don't Know and I Dongker is a collaboration album from the punk rock band from Bandung , Dongker and the musician and singer from Pamulang , Jason Ranti . This album was released on August 22 , 2025. Making this album the 2nd studio album from Dongker and the 4th studio album from Jason Ranti. Background It's not hard to imagine Jason Ranti and Dongker collaborating on the music stage. However, the two wanted to take things a step further by committing to a collaborative album. These two musicians became one not only through music but also through dreams, anxieties, and love that met in Bandung. Their educational background in the arts and personal experiences in the Flower City led Dongker and Jason Ranti to produce an album entitled " I Don't Know and I Dongker ." This collaboration began with an unexpected moment, as Delpi Suhariyanto recounted some time ago. "It all started with the songs 'Merusak Kesenangan' and 'Tau-Tau Festival,' where we mentioned Jason, and finally, the end of 2024 paved the way for us to work together," he explained. " Salah Display " marks the beginning of a more personal and poetic collaboration between Dongker and Jason Ranti. This song flows with Dongker's distinctive nuance, mixing punk arrangements with electronic touches, adding an atmosphere and a bit of wildness. The song is an early depiction of Jason Ranti and Dongker's collaborative project. In Salah Display, the narrative about fine art is felt very strongly from the beginning to the end of the song. Even the figure of artist Jim Supangkat was chosen by the two as the main character in the song. ....~ It's been over a year since Ceriwis Necis released their last full-length album. Dongker is back with something different: a collaboration with Jason Ranti titled "I Don't Know and I Dongker" (August 22nd). This cross-genre and generational fusion yields nine tracks filled with spontaneity, anxiety, and romance about Bandung—the city that binds them together. This album was born from a simple question from Jeje (Jason Ranti's nickname, ed.) when he first met the band, "Hey Dongker, do you want me to help you escape the tyranny of 'punk' Dongker?" That sentence finally paved the way for a collaboration that not only explores music, but also fine art and the daily lives of its members. The album's creative process unfolded naturally after the two performed together at the Tau Tau Festival in Bandung. From jam sessions in a small studio to long conversations that lasted until the early hours of the morning, the songs emerged spontaneously. This 31-minute album contains six main songs, “wrong display”, “suggested in Bandung”, “I'm bored”, “running away from home”, “tang ting tung (single guitar interpretation)”, and “tang ting tung”, as well as three bonus tracks, including “Good night”, and “conflict conservation and other things (Reprise)” which lasts more than ten minutes. The album was produced in Bandung and Jakarta over a period of approximately two months. Interestingly, during this period, Jeje had stopped using gadgets and drinking alcohol, so he often relied on his wife for communication....~ Credits Backing Vocals – Aliefia Augistine Bass – Andrya Tantra Drum, Artwork By – Dzikrie Arethusa Guitar, Synthesizer, Layout – Delpi Suhariyanto Lyrics By – Bagus Dwi Danto (tracks: B5), Delpi Suhariyanto (tracks: A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4) Mastered By – Bill Henderson Mixed By – Ari 'Aru' (tracks: A2), Raja Mahardika (tracks: A1, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5) Producer – Dongker Producer, Vocals, Guitar, Lyrics By – Jason Ranti Samples – Jason Ranti (tracks: B2) Technician – Naufal Maulidzi, Rifqi, Syamil , Toyeng Vocals, Guitar – Arno Zarror Tracklist Salah Display Disarankan di Bandung Aku Bosan Kabur Dari Rumah Tang Ting Tung (tafsir Gitar Tunggal) Tang Ting Tung Disarankan di Bandung (acoustic) Selamat Tidur Konservasi Konflik Dan Hal-hal Yang Lain (reprise)

OAG, also spelled O@G, also known as Old Automatic Garbage or Orang Asia Genius (Genius Asians), is a Malaysian pop and alternative rock band. The band, formed in 1992, was one of the first English language alternative rock bands in Malaysia to get huge attention from mainstream music listeners. The current line-up of the band are Muhammad Radhi Razali (vocals), Qi Razali (drums), Muhamad Nizam (guitar), Nazrin Zabidi (bass guitar), and Izmer Khasbullah (keyboard). The band is well known for breaking the mainstream mold of Malay rock and pop at that time, pushing the alternative genre and underground spirit into commercial media such as radio and television. The 60's TV videoclip was a landmark success in a new direction of music video for the country, and becomes one of the most recognisable songs ever in indie/underground circuits (next to Butterfingers' Nicotine and Vio-Pipe).

NERV is a band from Bandung that plays the fusion of Sundanese ethnic music, pop & progressive rock. The band consists of Nia (electric accoustic violin), Ajey DK (drums, jimbe, harp, bamboo flute, vocals), Dicky (bass), Yusak (guitar, keyboards), Jantan (drums) and Tendy (guitar). The album was issued by Indonesian Progressive Society label....~ Often amazing and overlooked instrumental Indonesian Prog, which draws influences from Heavy Rock, Jazz and Indonesian Folk Music. Varied in instrumentation, it snipes straight into complex blends of traditional-like tunes, played under Rock instrumentation, and complicated, long structures. The result is bombastic. dense but even melodic Prog Fusion, which should not get unnoticed...apps 79...~ by arymenezes 4 stars This work is a delicate balance between the most recognizable part of progressive rock and the singularities of indonesian local musicality. Usually, it's very rare that an album can succesfully join the folk expressions of its country with the modern background of prog. IMO, they made it brilliantly. - on one side, harmonies, pace and rythms are very similar to symphonic prog. This expression of their music must be linked to: the guitars, which gives the listener a wide variety of textures, tempos and interplay that ranges from (lighter and harder) rock to little jazzy touch, and some brief acoustic interventions; the synths, that don't stay on the foreground but offer a great support to other instruments; and the drums, very dynamic and solid. - on the other side, instrumentation and chant are very local. This can be largely credited to two members. The violinist, that constantly fills the songs with a pleasent and gentle arab taste; I still wasn't able to confirm wether she's a violin or a viola, but my untrained ears think it's the second option. Other member is a multi-instrumentist who can play kecapi (traditional indonesian instrument, similar to some oriental antique kinds of harp), and performs exceptionally well bamboo flute, jimbe and kendang (both similar to congas or atabaques). This member also assumes vocals, along with one of the two guitar players. This combination gives the album an unmistakable and uncomparable identity. In some occasions they can be more influenced by the western music, as on the first track. Other times, they're closer to the muslim roots, as on track five. But in all cases they don't loose there unity....~ Line-up / Musicians - Nia / electric acoustic violin - Ajey DK / drums, jimbe, harp, bamboo flute, vocals - Dicky / bass - Yusak / guitar, keyboards - Jantan / drums - Tendy / guitar Songs / Tracks Listing 1.

Bandung-based progressive/psychedelic rock quartet Seekaam recently released their debut single, "Bipolar," on November 25, 2022. The song is one of two upcoming singles from the band, comprised of Ravli (guitar), Moch Ryan (bass), Dani Wartabone (drums), and Putri Kintan (synth)....~ Seekaam, duo progressive/psychedelic rock, has released its first 2 song demo giving their audience a taste of their upcoming debut EP. “The two songs in the demo are like fragments of the whole story. “Imprisoned” is an instrumental track with a gloomy and angry mood. Especially on the track “Twenty Tales of Life Through a Dream” his role is as a determination of the entire journey that will be told. The sound and material presented in this demo was influenced by several band names, including Sundays and Cybelle, Föllakzoid, Tuber and Pink Floyd.”...~

Seekaam "Bipolar" 2022 (single)

The idea for this 05.39 minute instrumental track came from Ravli Ferial (guitar) after he noticed that a friend of his had a mental disorder. When the person relapsed, he always talked to the tree. Not one tree, but almost all the trees he could find. Sometimes the person is calm, sometimes cool, sometimes the person is angry in front of the tree. As if the tree was a fellow human. Departing from there, Ravli also translated the emotions experienced by his friend into a composition of tones. Therefore, the atmosphere and tempo of 'Bipolar' was made dynamic. "I also imagine being in a silenced and multi-emotional state. In the universe in this song, I feel as if I am a tree that is not allowed to speak, but can only listen to the chatter of people who have mental disorders," said Ravli....~ Tracklist Bipolar

Seekaam "Twenty Tales Of Life Through A Dream" 2023 (single)

The idea raised in this song is a flick about people who forget themselves when they are in difficult conditions and on the verge of despair. Humans tend to forget the past, which has a positive value in times of despair. ‘Twenty Tales of Life Through a Dream’ invites listeners to reflect that there will be people who, in their presence or absence, always support them so they don’t fall.

The idea for the final result of the song A Place That We Wanted is to tell the story of the journey of two people's relationship, which begins with a discussion of their purpose to go to Japan together. However, time can change many things and, in the end, the initial goal is getting biased and seems to be getting buried. There are two musical moods which indicate which the main character of the story has to choose; good or bad. This journey is still not over and is still continuing, marked by the outro of the song, which seems anti-climactic. The choice of ideas for this second single is still based on narrative elements like Seekaam's other works....~ Tracklist A Place That We Wanted

The Bumi Putra Rockers (BPR) group is a Malaysian 80s rock singer group who became widely known after participating in the "Kingsway Entertainment Festival". They are from Johor Bahru . History of Establishment The Bumiputra Rockers group or BPR for short was formed in 1985 by its lead guitarist, Norzaini Mohammad or better known as Awang. BPR was originally a split from several rock groups active in Johor Bahru, including Titanic , Hurricane , Split Times , Purple Grass and Firestarter . The history of this group began when Awang gathered a few of his friends, namely Johari Mat Rozekhi (Joey - vocals), Abdul Rahim Mohd Zain (Yem Bai - bass), Ibrahim Musa (Yem C - 2nd lead) and a drummer (name unknown) to "jamming" at B Sound Studio located in the Tun Abdul Razak Complex (KOMTAR) Johor Bahru. That's where the compatibility between them began to emerge and Awang suggested to his friends to go to Kuala Lumpur, to try their luck in case there was a recording company interested in taking them as recording artists. In Kuala Lumpur, they were then introduced to Wan Redzmann, the manager of the band Sweet Charity who was also a former racing driver. From there, they began to get opportunities to perform all over the country. To further strengthen their performances on stage, Awang brought in a new drummer named Raja Zainal Abidin Raja Hasnan (Enal) who was also their acquaintance in Johor Bahru to replace the existing drummer. Currently, they no longer have a fixed band name and often use a different band name each time they perform on stage. In a stage show they participated in in Perlis, they met the group Sweet Charity led by Ramli Sarip (now Datuk). Ramli Sarip who happened to see the young people's performance met them, then offered them to be the backing band for his solo performance. This is where Ramli accidentally named them Bumiputra Rockers after they performed together several times. Upon their return to Kuala Lumpur, Ito from the Blues Gang offered them the opportunity to be the first recording artist under the Ito Productions label. Thus, their first album titled Selamat Pagi Malaysia was released in 1987. Unfortunately, the album was not well received and Ito was eventually forced to release the group from his production label. At the same time, there was a disagreement between them which eventually caused Yem C to withdraw, leaving APR with only four members, namely Joey, Awang, Yem Bai and Enal. A year later, BPR received an offer from Life Rekod (now Life Records) to produce BPR's first album under the label, which was also BPR's second album in the history of the local music industry. Thus, BPR's second album titled Bisa was released in 1987, where BPR still remained with 4 members. At the beginning of the release of the album Bisa , this album also received less response than their first album before. However, their peak of popularity was finally achieved after they performed at the Kingsway Entertainment Festival held in Padang Semarak, Kuala Lumpur where their performance was broadcast throughout Malaysia via Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) . The reception from the concert caused sales of their second album to explode to the point that Life Rekod staff had to work overtime just to pack hundreds of thousands of units of the album. This was when BPR returned to five when they brought in an acquaintance of theirs in Johor Bahru named Haron Ahmad (Haron) as BPR's second guitarist. Harun then made his debut with BPR through the group's third album which was released in 1990 titled Kelab Jiwa Luka . As expected, this album received a very encouraging response with several hit songs, including Dari Sinar Mata , Sudah Sampai Sini , Ku Tanggung Cinta Dusta Yang Membara and Dendam Cinta Seusia Dunia . The song Dari Sinar Mata, created by APR's lead guitarist, Awang, successfully advanced to the final stage of Juara Lagu 1990 ...~

Golden Mammoth is a neo-psychedelia outfit band based in Putrajaya, Malaysia started by Syabil Alyahya (the brain of Golden Mammoth) who began experimenting, recording and producing in his bedroom. Syabil expresses himself through dancy basslines, lush vocals and hypnotising guitars as he narrates his journey with moving, uplifting and spiritual verses while experimenting with a wide range of musical styles. As a result, every song is a chaotic, flavor-full adventure put out by Syabil. In 2015, Syabil released his debut EP, Malavita that consists of 4 songs (handpicked from his bedroom experiments). The EP had 4 different elements, from electronica, psychedelic-rock, ballad and prog-rock. This EP confirmed that Syabil is very oscillating with his musical style and does not lean to one single genre. Syabil’s bedroom endeavours have then grown from being a solo act to performing alongside Que, Zaki, Faris and Ojay. Since then, Golden Mammoth began making their presence in the Malaysian music industry by participating in The Wknd Recording Fund, ranking in third in the overall competition. In 2016, the band released their sophomore album; Metaphoric Quadraphonic. The album consists of 12 tracks exploring synthesizers, sappy pop vocals, groovy bass lines while blending both acoustic and whirring electric guitars in most of the tracks. The album was executed as a heavy 60s psychedelic soundscape with a modern touch. In 2017, the band released their single from the album titled “Malicious Judicious” known by it’s groovy bass line and the blues scales in Syabil’s guitar work. Golden Mammoth then continued their journey by playing festivals in the likes of Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival, Iskarnival in Johor, Cyberjaya Music Festival, Ram Jam Festival and Baybeats Music Festival in Singapore. On top of that, they spanned across 5 cities of Indonesia starting with Jakarta for Connan Mockasin show as one of the opening act, Bandung, Surabaya, Malang and Bali in early April 2019. After 2 years of taking a creative break and playing shows around Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, the band released two new singles titled “Lap of Luxury” and “Galeia’s Touch” in 2019. The band are set to release a second full length album consisting of 9 tracks. Not long after the two single release, the band released their second full length album“Skyscraper Towards the Sun”, a neo-psychedelia album, but a slightly more diverse experimentation mixing the roots of Syabil’s music taste in Rock, Prog-Rock,Prog-Pop, Blues, Funk and Smooth Jazz.......~

Golden Mammoth "Metaphoric Quodraphonic" 2016

As it’s become much repeated information here, Golden Mammoth is a Putrajaya-based psychedelic rock band who was one of the finalists of The Wknd Sessions Recording Fund. Since then, the band has finally released a full-length album called Metaphoric Quadraphonic that’s recorded and written by multi-instrumentalist Syabil Alyahya. The album is 12-songs long and you’re bound to come across one (or more) that you’d enjoy. The album is steeped in psychedelic rock elements as there are plenty of whirring guitars that resemble a form of hypnosis as the solos go on, and vocals that are processed to a similar effect – fuzzed out and reverberating on their own tone. Our standouts include instrumental opener ‘Peer Pressure’, the bass groove of ‘Ivory’, the sensuous, far-away Lenny Kravitz-esque ‘Wrong State of Mind’, the unbridled guitars on ‘In Your Ears’, and our favourite and longest track on the album, ‘Mellow Zone’, which its title is a tell-tale of its gentle, leisurely mood....~

Golden Mammoth "Live at Melodiya" 2021

Malaysian psychedelic band Golden Mammoth have released a live album titled ‘Live At Melodiya’ and a video of the recording session. The eight-track live album was recorded at Subang Jaya recording studio Melodiya Recordings. Its tracklist pulls from all of Golden Mammoth’s studio releases thus far: second full-length album ‘Skyscraper Towards the Sun’, which dropped in February last year, its accompanying five-track collection of B-Sides and remixes, and their 2016 debut ‘Metaphoric Quadraphonic’. ‘Live At Melodiya’ was supported by government-linked Cultural Economy Development Agency (CENDANA), production house Perceive Films, marketing producer Juggernotes, and indie imprint Mustaj Records....~ Tracklist 1 The Empty Notion 6:01 2 Phaedo 7:11 3 Lap of Luxury 4:30 4 Soulless 4:44 5 REM 5:21 6 Malicious Judicious 3:53 7 Diaspora 4:59 8 Galeia's Touch/Skyscraper Towards 8:36

Golden Mammoth "GM" 2023

Golden Mammoth's third album, 'GM', transcends mere music to become an odyssey of sound and emotion, a vivid tapestry woven from the threads of Psychedelic-Rock's rich history. In the crucible of the studio, over five intense months, the band has distilled their influences and the spirit of counterculture into a singular, evocative experience. Each track emerges as a masterpiece of artistry, where lyrical profundity meets intricate, labyrinthine instrumentation....~ Tracklist Tied Up 3:08 Apologetick 2:33 Places 4:24 The Holy War 1:58 If Only 4:54 Nostalgia 4:29 On The Roof 2:58 People 1:57 To Say 4:37 Good Morning 3:18 Members Syabil Alyahya (vocals and lead guitar) Que Azeem (drums) Hadeef Azlan (bass) Ojay Kushairi (keyboard) Low Hao Zhe (rhythm guitar) Golden Mammoth  "Malavita" EP 2015 +  "Metaphoric Quodraphonic" 2016 +  "Skyscraper Towards The Sun" 2020 + "Skyscraper B​-​Side and Remixes"2020 + "Live at Melodiya" 2021 + "GM"2023 Malaysia Neo Psych,Prog Alternative,Prog Rock

Hello Benji And The Cobra is one of the many bands that has survived by maintaining its integrity. The sacrifice was quite heavy, they had to go on hiatus for two years after releasing the EP Mitos (2015) and the single "Anak Muda" (2017) before finally returning to the national music scene with their latest single, "Ku Datang Kembali." The single "Ku Datang Kembali" is one of the songs on the full album which will be released at the end of 2019. Recorded at Showbox Studio, Medan three years ago, they had a bit of bad luck during the process; starting from experiencing limited equipment to the loss of some recording data, but all of that did not dampen their enthusiasm to continue working. The band, which is driven by Sakti Prima (vocals), Ridho Zuhri (guitar) and Utama Restu Ananda (bass), finally managed to complete the recording of their album for immediate distribution. Listening to "Ku Datang Kembali," we're treated to a taste of Indonesian popular music from the 70s, imbued with psychedelia and African-style funk, making their music so rich and cohesive. If you've never seen the band live, you'll be amazed by their explosive stage presence, a draw for fans and music lovers alike. Released by La Munai, the single "Ku Datang Kembali" from Hello Benji And The Cobra is now available to listen to on all digital platforms. Welcome back, Hello Benji And The Cobra!....~

Hello Benji & The Cobra is back with their latest single , "Ku Datang Kembali." The local band from Medan, which usually takes listeners on a whirlwind of psychedelic rock, now offers a funky twist in their latest release. If three years ago they successfully released an EP entitled "Mitos", in this latest single they again present a beautiful lyric, as expressed in the lyrics written by Sakti Prima, "I come back, in front of you". With high substance music, this unit wants to tell about longing that is finally released in a song. This longing can also be associated with their longing in playing music in front of their music lovers. It is an attraction to listen to because the release of longing Hello Benji & The Cobra in music is brought to a funky musical rhythm , different from the atmosphere of the songs they performed previously. The funky elements in this song are also audible in Arief's guitar effects, with a strumming that transports listeners back to the '70s. Furthermore, the saxophone accents further enhance the musical flow of Benji and his friends. “Ku Datang Kembali” will be one of the songs on their album which will be released at the end of 2019. Before the song “Ku Datang Kembali” which was produced by Adink Permana, Hello Benji & The Cobra also released two singles entitled “Anak Muda” and “Kerinduan Dalam Pesona Lama” which were also designed with Lamunai Records...~ Tracklist Ku Datang Kembali

Elemento Deserto, a breakout band from the Granada music scene, stands out for its original style of psychedelic rock influenced by surrealism, symbolism, and dark humor. With songs inspired by stories from the Andalusian drylands, such as misfortunes, revenge, and doomed loves, they began with Santoral (2016) and achieved recognition with Los Montes En Llamas (2019). Their third album, La Hora Maldita (2022), marks their creative maturity with an acid sound and lysergic atmospheres. They have collaborated with artists such as Sebastián Orellana and Unidad y Armonía, solidifying their impact on the national and international music scene. The band consists of Antonio Travé “El Oso de Benalúa” (guitar and vocals), Dani Levy (bass and backing vocals), Giggs Nother (drums), and Tony Molina Moya (guitar and vocals)....~
