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.

Perserikatan introspective folk paling dihormati di Bali yang notabene pamornya berangsur kian benderang dalam lingkup Nusantara, Dialog Dini Hari, baru saja menerbitkan album termutakhirnya, Lengkung Langit.
Versi Bahasa Indonesia silakan klik di siniHere comes tristan, an alternative folk duo who are currently much-loved by many young adult Jakartans. Two high-school friends are the main members, Andrie Ridwan (singer, songwriter) and Andrew Hutasoit (multi-instrumentalist, composer), and they have just released their full-length debut album, HOME. Consisting of 11 songs, only one is written in Indonesian, the rest are in English. However, the Indonesian one, "Jelang Malam", was instantly appreciated by the Indonesian public and has reached top position on one of Jakarta radio's indie charts. Released under the flag of demajors records, all of the album materials were intimately recorded at home, using what the band calls their "home-recording" technique. Presenting "Songbird" as their first single, tristan music style is, according to them, heavily infected by The Beatles, Radiohead, Nick Drake, Jon Brion and Brooke Fraser. Keep yourself updated by visiting www.demajors.com frequently, and following the band on Twitter at @tristanologi.
