Sometimes we accidentally stumble across gold!
KOMODO broadcasts ONLY ASIAN ALTERNATIVE and INDEPENDENT commercial-free 24x7 365!
DARIU @officialdariu out of INDONESIA are kind of in the “Life Coaching” business. Inspired by Jakarta’s youth, every release dives into the twists, turns and joys of being young. The guys have dropped over to KOMODO a couple of their latest singles. When we are feeling reflective “Pergi” gets a spin but when we need an energy kick we drop “Starting Over”. “Starting Over” is 100% alt-rock JOY and its lyrics hold ALL the answers to a rewarding life - Does your job suck? Has your girlfriend dumped you? Yeh life can be a real bitch! DARIU has the answer - Start again, start over, START A BAND!!! We LOVE it - it spinning!
KOMODO is sliding down the rainbow into COUPLE’s @wearecouplemy new album “Poptimism”. Oh yes, what a delight, the MALAYSIAN indie/alt masters have delivered their sunshine magic yet again with ten super catchy tracks! KOMODO has three of the tracks on the air this week, listen up for the amazing “Goddamn Mighty Tune”, “KTYT”, and “Sedia Sedia” (Ready Ready).
At KOMODO we sometimes totally accidentally stumble across gold! WOOOOOOOO - we are tripping over VIETNAMESE indie groovers COÏNCIDENCE @coiincidence.official. We don’t know much about them. Actually, we know NOTHING about them, and their official bio doesn’t give us any clues either as it simply contains four words; “Chơi nhạc đủ kiểu” (Play all kinds of music). The vocals are a fascinating fusion of French, Vietnamese and English, and the sounds and visuals are dreamy. We are going to be trawling through all of their work, and to get us started, this week KOMODO is spinning “rồi thôi” (Thats it) featuring a Fishy Bit @afishybit - just keep swimming!
Can you imagine Nine Inch Nails, Garbage and Sound Garden being together in one band? Well then, let’s round out this week’s four fave tracks with some FILIPINO alt/grunge from ATMAN REMORSE @atmanremorse. They look nasty, but they are good friends of @children_of_the_mist so they must be kind of nice guys. Let’s get them spinning, this week KOMODO is featuring “Freemind”.
Our featured artists are all playing in KATIE’s @katkills & JONGO’s @jongo_on_air shows this week. PLUS, you can hear POSTER acts uninterrupted, back-to-back daily at 0600 & 1800 Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, 0330 & 1530 Delhi, and 0200 & 1400 Dubai.
