New Music from Indonesia by Djarum is a weekly, 15-minute podcast covering the music scene in Indonesia. A new artist is featured in each episode – and all have their music available on the iTunes Store. To learn more about Djarum, visit www.Djarum.com.
One of our best-selling bands on iTunes, PENDULUM, is this week's featured artist. Turi Ismanto, the lead guitarist, joins Jason to talk about their new-found fame and their particular style of progressive rock. As usual we feature two songs: the heavy-hitting "Magic Mirror" and the more laid-back "Composition #9". Read more about Pendulum on www.EquinoxDMD.com/pendulum. 14:37, 7.3 MB.
Eka Annash, vocalist for the indie rock band THE BRANDALS, joins Jason in the studio for a preview of their recently-(re)released self-titled debut album. Their provocative, disorderly and, some might say, lewd behavior on stage earned the band a reputation that spread beyond their home base of Jakarta, and even further now that their album is on iTunes. We feature two songs "Marching Menuju Maut" and "Stone Travel". 18:39 9.5MB
This week we are back in the studio with Adoy from the pop/world music band COZY STREET CORNER. Cozy Street Corner's unique sound led to a number of reviews that described their sound as everything from "Indonesian folk" and "easy listening" to ethnic and "musik alam", or natural music. Decide for yourself with the two songs featured this week: "Hutan Hujan" and "Punyaku Sendiri". 16:43, 8.4 MB
As promised, we are back with a really special episode. This is the first time we have recorded a podcast outside our studio and we think we nailed it. Jason interviews Dita and Iuyb from the hot indie pop band SANTAMONICA live from the Jakarta Convention Center for Indocomtech 2006. Edi Taslim from CHIP Indonesia came up with the idea a few weeks ago and once Dita and Iyub agreed we were good to go. As usual we feature two songs: "Anais Lullaby" and "Sought and Found" from their EP entitled REMINISCE 189. A very special thanks to Edi from CHIP Indonesia and especially Pak Ian from MSI who let us hijack his center-stage for the recording. 18:19, 9.5 MB
And third time's the charm...seems that our fans can't get enough of New Music from Indonesia so we brought Jason back in the studio alone to have a special rock 'n roll podcast...and we are trying something a bit different with the format. If you notice this podcast is an enhanced version with album art as well as hyperlinks to the band's page. Unfortunately these features only work in iTunes so if you are using another podcatching program you are missing out. Jason features PLASTIK and "Harus Mulai Darimana", KOIL "Apa Yang Kita Percaya" and TENGKORAK "Pemimpin Gila". Next week we are doing something REALLY different so check back and let us know what you think. 14:20, 13.6 MB
