Local Flava: John B ft. NSG – Light Speed (Radio Mix)
Some of you might wander why a John B tune is listed under local flava when he’s actually from the UK. The reason is because of his collaborator in this tune NSG. This is not the first time that this MC/producer NSG who is Indonesian featured in this blog. Previously we mentioned him in his collaboration with Indonesian female hip-hop mc Yacko in her track Brrapp! and also his online collaboration video that went viral on youtube.
Now that we got that out of the way, Light Speed is the tittle track from John B’s 4th album. It got all of John B’s trademark sound of big room trance that gives you euphoric and uplifting vibe blended expertly in drum’n'bass format. Basically the currently trendy techy/trancy sound of drum & bass owes a lot to this man. John B’s sound is definitely not for everyone. Many drum & bass purist have accuse him of stirring drum & bass too far away from its root. That’s what purist are though, always afraid of changes. As for me, I love the idea of drum & bass incorporating other style. The more the merrier. Variety is the spice of live ain’t it?
John B’s Light Speed is out now on Beta Recordings and available at Beatport.

Local Flava/Soundcloud Diggin’: Akira As Astronaughty
Welcome to the first proper Local Flava column. This column will focus on Indonesian dance music producers/djs. As a country with over 250 millions people we definitely have tons of potential producers. Some of the top producers from Indonesia are Angger Dimas and Mahesa Utara and many more are bound to follow in their foot steps. One such producer is Akira As Astronaughty a.k.a. DMust Akira.
He’s been around for a few years, content being the man behind the screen. Now he’s ready to breakout on his own with the release of his solo album “Attracted To The Light“. Speaking of album, his sound can be describe as melodic electro. The best way to describe it is take a bit of Daft Punk add some Fred Falke and small dose of Aeroplane & Digitalism, throw in a lil’ bit of Justice and MSTRKRFT but turndown the distortion level, and occasionally sprinkle some Skrillex and you have Akira As Astronaughty. In other words, its the French sound. Yes, we believe that Akira As Astronaughty is gonna make some noise in the upcoming years. Keep your ears open for this guy.
Akira As Astronaughty’s Attracted To Light is out now on Aonyx Records. Apparently you can order it online. For info on how to order it go here.

Local Flava: Agrikulture – Lagu Cinta Cintaan [video]
Lagu Cinta Cintaan is Agrikulture’s first single from their newly released 2nd album Terang Benderang. Upon first listen, I must conclude that these boys were probably listening to Vampire Weekend way too much. As for Agrikulture, they are one of the pioneer in Indonesian Electronic music movement in the early noughties together with other electronic acts such as EGRV, Rock’N'Roll Mafia, Mobil Derek & Media Distorsi. As time progress, most of these bands have gone on to eventually settle with their own respective sound yet, none change as drastically as Agrikulture did.
Agrikulture started as 3 piece band with 3 djs Hogi, Anton & Aditya. During that formative year the band formation constantly change before eventually settled with 3 new members Dipha Barus in bass & synth, Emil in Guitar, Fandy in vocal and the last remaining original member Aditya in 2006. Their Debut album Dawai Damai. received critical acclaimed and generated some buzz around the region. With the release of their 2nd album, Agrikulture is looking to pick up where Dawai Damai left and try to become the next crossover success.
Agrikulture’s Terang Benderang is out now on Nagaswara and available at all music stores near you.
