A music journalist, writer, radio presenter, vinyl DJ, socio-political activist, creative industry leader, band manager, and library diploma holder heavily draws inspiration from punk rock philosophy. Often tagged as the Indonesian version of Malcolm McLaren—or, as Rolling Stone Indonesia put it, the grand master of music propaganda—he is perhaps best known for previously managing Bali’s two biggest bands, Superman Is Dead and Navicula, who have gone on to become two of the nation’s biggest rock bands.

MACTITUDE: LANIE GARDNER – DREAMS

The members of Fleetwood Mac were experiencing emotional upheavals while recording "Dreams". Mick Fleetwood was going through a divorce. Christine McVie was separating from her husband John McVie. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks were ending their eight-year relationship; Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood had just started an affair. What made it more complicated and worse was that all the band members were so addicted to cocaine during the production of the album, Rumours. Hard drugs, bad romances, excellent album.

BANANACH: VIRGIN FUCKBOI

HOME

"I'm going home," she said. "Where's home to you?" he asked. "My house?" she said, confused, and laughed a little. "Home isn't a place," he paused, "it's a colour, a song, a scent, a feeling, a person, that first sip of good whisky, but it's not a place."

PTC PARTICIPLES CIRCUIT: THE SCENE THAT CELEBRATES ITSELF

Fenomena yang sedang menggejala pada label rekaman Pohon Tua Creatorium (PTC) belakangan ini relatif mirip dengan kejadian pada awal 90an di wilayah Thames Valley, London. Para musisi skena indie—didominasi pegiat shoegaze—kerap kongkow-kongkow di area tersebut, saling mendatangi konser satu sama lain, meminjam personel, tukar menukar anggota, mengisi posisi lowong antar band: The Scene That Celebrates Itself.
