This week is less Guitar and more Synth!
KOMODO is a multi-platform digital broadcaster that allows independent ASIAN musicians to be DISCOVERED across the CONTINENT and BEYOND. There are heaps of ways to listen to Katie @katkills & Jongo @jonathangoehr deliver the new stuff 24x7 (Satellite, Apps, Cable TV, Web) - you know how to use Google, right?
Out of Bangkok, THAILAND jumps psychedelic punkers GRAYRAY @grayrayband. We are spinning a song that we originally thought was titled “We do not allow read this, fock off!”. But it seems the track is actually called “Hippe Crack” but also known as “อ่านหาพ่อมึงหรอไอ้สัส” (Read to Your Father?). OK, these guys are clearly consuming colourful mushrooms! Also catch “Blue Dream” it’s a 6 minute 27 seconds spacy stoner trip complete with ray gun sounds, insane synth, guitar riffs and manic drums!
KATFËUD @katfeud are Qee and Riz out of Petaling Jaya, MALAYSIA. KOMODO is spinning “N!N!N!” (Pronounced NOISE!) an amazing electronic track which is a tribute & homage to the current tech-laden dystopia which we live in & retro 80s/90s driving games - get in your ride, play this LOUD & step on it. When you reach the destination jump on a board and catch their ollie’s with “Citadel”.
From Bandung, INDONESIA comes SEEKAAM @seekaam. Their 2 tracks “Imprisoned” and “20 Tales of Life Trough a Dream” are complementary fragments of a progressive/psychedelic story, and so KOMODO has mixed them back-to-back for a full 9-minute journey. Sit down, close your eyes and choose your own adventure.
In the next few months Katie & Jongo are diving deeper into exotic sounds from Central Asia, South Asia and the Subcontinent. As an appetizer lets head to Karachi, PAKISTAN for a fusion of Pakistani Prog, Djent and Electronica. “Spiral Space Ride” from SHAJR @shajrofficial is rhythmically and melodically inspired by the progressive locomotion through space-time of our universe that spirals into the unknown. Want more? Also listen out for “Khamosh” (Silenced).
The OX is heading out, next week we will be getting striped with a bite! Enjoy the holidays!
