About

Music journalist, writer, radio DJ, socio-political activist, creative industry leader, and a qualified librarian, Rudolf Dethu is heavily under the influence of the punk rock philosophy. Often tagged as this country’s version of Malcolm McLaren—or as Rolling Stone Indonesia put it ‘the grand master of music propaganda’—a name based on his successes when managing Bali’s two favourite bands, Superman Is Dead and Navicula, both who have become two of the nation’s biggest rock bands.

KitabisaxJOS
Pasca 1,5 tahun digebuk pagebluk, panti asuhan yang selama ini saya turut bina, Jodie O’Shea House (JOS), makin susah bertahan, sebentar lagi gulung tikar jika tiada tindak penyelamatan. Usianya tinggal hitungan sedikit bulan. 68 anak tanggungan JOS bakal terlunta terlantar. Maka itu saya memberanikan diri untuk menggalang dana publik.
MaiMabasaBali-SanurCoolCats
Mai Mabasa Bali (let's speak Balinese) is a program that I run at the moment & the goal is to attract young people's interest to embrace their roots, their mother tongue: Balinese language. The dream is that Balinese language will be actively used again as a means of daily communication, as the lingua franca. Or at least the Balinese language is no longer considered as an obsolete object, uncool, being left to rot. We'll release some new and exciting Balinese songs by Navicula, The Hydrant Bali, James Manja, Alien Child, and the Balinese music veteran: Widi Widiana.
