OLD IS GOLD// STATELESS - BLOODSTREAM

With the mellow vocal and tunes, it somehow reminds me of Portishead. Good music, worth listening again and again.

Sunburst 2009, Malaysia

Jonathan from Korn

Pharrell from N.E.R.D.

Skye from Morcheeba

Went to Sunburst 2009 last weekend, i had an awesome experience! Been listening to Korn for like 15 years? This is the 1st time ever i see them on stage performing live! This might be the first and the last time i see the in live. I believe there's a very slim chance for Korn and N.E.R.D. to come back to Malaysia to perform again, you know why i say so if you were there.

Besides that there's only little crowd there for Skye from Morcheeba, compare to other international artist. She sang with her beautiful voice and i can see crowds are enjoying it so much.

Too bad i don't have like to SUPER DSLR camera or else i will take lots of pics. hahahaha.... Hopefully the line up for next year sunburst will be bigger than this year.

1 ASIA

Went to the 1 ASIA launching yesterday, nice music and cool vibe. Below is the introduction of this compliation.

1Asia is a manifestation of the ever growing hiphop music in Asia.

As citizens across Asia's newly prosperous cities shift from their traditional stereotype and rediscover new identities from urban `coolness' and `consciousness', they adhere to a default condition to absorb and evolve music. Those who devote themselves to mould the Asian Hiphop culture have captured their history, uniqueness, modernity, art, philosophy, literature and traditions.

Not a far departure from all things Asia, Hiphop music has its fair share of tales in its formation and exploitation. It is equally influential on a grass roots level as it is commercially. This is the parallel character that permits some Asian pioneers to establish their music widely and further shape their style. And when we find these styles, we look at ways to introduce it regionally through the initiative manifested in 1Asia.
To begin with, the compilation comprises of songs that feature hiphop acts from 8 countries which are recorded between 2002-2007. Voices from China, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei have become a part of this album. All in, 15 tracks totaling over 62 minutes of fresh sounds that are very rarely heard outside their local communities are introduced. These tracks are amongst Asian Hiphop's Best Kept Secrets. While many more have ended up being diluted in obscurity within Asia and beyond due to limited distribution channels to reach more audience, these songs will be released and played on the airwaves across borders. This will take precedent to multiply the opportunities for more `secrets' to be `told'. Now everyone can `Get Heard!
