Nusasonic Mix

Wok The Rock

This first mix of Nusasonic is created by one of their curators, Wok The Rock. It starts with a series of chaotic-aggresive tracks and followed with turbulent anxious beats which suddenly flow into a precarious hope. Featuring collaborative work from Nusasonic previous artists Pisitakun (Bangkok) and Gabber Modus Operandi (Denpasar), 2 Burmese electronic artists Dassatha and Thxa Soe, contemporary gamelan and angklung works by Julian Abraham Togara (Medan), Jay Afrisando (Jogja), maestro Dewa Alit and his super ensemble Gamelan Salukat (Bali), Wok is very proud to introduce an extraordinary electronic producer Asep Nayak from Wamena, Papua.

As part of a collaboration with Nusasonic, Cashmere Radio broadcasts a series of commissioned radio episodes and mixes from music initiatives and collectives across Southeast Asia and beyond.

Nusasonic itself is a multi-year project that plunges into a broad spectrum of experimental sound and music cultures in Southeast Asia, enabling dialogue within the region, with Europe, and beyond. Go to www.nusasonic.com for more information about the project.
