Sound recommendations - Southeast Asia & Australia

Finding interesting music can be a tedious task in the area, but since my last stay the situation has definitely improved. Below you find links to some labels, collectives and producers in the area. A good overview(though the links are kinda outdated) can be found kongkretebass.com. The platform was founded by Hong Kong based producer DJ Wash, who also hosts the Kongkast, a podcast, which is relaesed twice a month. If you want to see him live, he is currently touring Germany. - Event recommendation in Dresden
Another forward thinking label is Dubtemple Records, based in Brisbane, Australia. Their releases a free for download from the link above. Two of them immediately caught my attention: Blood Dunza and Bunda. Also check the Lee Scratch Perry Beat Tape - compilation.
In Singapore an audiovisual collective called Syndicate SG is filling the void. Check out the amazing sound of Jonathan Nah aka KIAT(you can buy his releases on Qilin) Further have a listen to other artists of the collective on their soundcloud page.
Thailand seems to be a little behind on the heavy bass music but If you are into Disco, definitely check Jaree Thanapuras, Grammaphon Children.

So far so good; lot´s of links, i know.
Have a listen, support the artists and enjoy.

Artist discovery of the day: Lam Pei

12. of January, 2012 | Posted in

by Gandl

While exploring the streets of Hong Kong, we stumbled upon an artist space called Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre.

There are a dozens of artist studios, classrooms and galleries spread across 7 floors.

One artist that caught our eye was Lam Pei, who was so kind to invite us into her studio.

She was born in Hong Kong, grew up in a Government Public Estate. Her parents are Indonesian overseas Chinese. Recently, she is working diligently in expressing her intermost rolling emotions by comic drawings. She believes that experiences and recollections are very important for her. Reciting her recollections through her own creative way has become a concrete record of her daily life. Being a free lance graphic and multi-media designer and illustrator, she shares a studio at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC, L5-23) with three other friends. (text taken from homepage)

You can check out her work either on Facebook or on her own website.

... and on that note, let's get back to the program!

First things first:

ONE

As some of you might have already noticed before, our beloved Morisson Club is still closed due to renewal and construction. That's why our triple-birthday-extravaganza a.k.a. MashMash! V11 is going down at Xpedit Lager in the 1st Wiener Gemeindebezirk. more...

TWO

This one has been around for quite a while now, and now that we got a load of webspace to waste, I figure it's the right time for it to see the light of day: I'm talking about our next featured mix (#03 I believe it is) by DJ HNZN, who has helped us out a lot of times technically and sound-support-wise. It's called oimsee 2k10 - a quite long and very eclectic kinda mix with all sorts of genres being mashed together, just the way we would get down ourselves! Get it here:

DOWNLOAD (mp3, 146MB)

THREE

Last but not least, another little goodie I recently came across and wanted to share but couldn't, due to our server failure. It is a mini-documentary of a very innovative label, to say the least, that was founded by Peanutbutter Wolf back in '96 and brought you gems like Lootpack, Charizma, Medaphoar, Yesterday's New Quintet and many more. It is also the label that recently made some solid commercial success with Aloe Blacc's "Good Things". Needless to say, I'm talking about Stones Throw which is covered in this short. The movie was made by Sébastien Bauer & Lucas Blaya and I personally hope that this will turn out to become a full-length any time soon.

by Kompact

One of our friends from the Hillbilly Souldiers, namely DJ Hooray, just released a free double feature mix, together with german based DJ Bene, called Just Take 45's. As the title already suggests, strictly hip-hop 45's from 2009 are being used, including my own little collab with 215 The Freshest Kidz called Illuminate. Check this one out, it's definitely worth it!
