Animistic Beliefs - MERDEKA

With their profound take on electronic music, Animistic Beliefs have steadily solidified their spot in the global underground. Influenced by cultural concepts such as ancestry, animism and mythology, as well as the languages of political techno, punk, bubbling and IDM, Linh Luu and Marvin Lalihatu consistently translate their visions into sensitive productions as well as high-octane live performances. On their new record, MERDEKA, the artists explore and embrace their cultural heritage in all of its pride, pain and complexity. MERDEKA symbolizes Animistic Beliefs’ breaking free, coming to terms with their changing selves and letting go of external expectations. The record rethinks childhood memories, confronts the generational trauma left by (post-)colonialism, and re-connects Linh and Marvin – respectively of Vietnamese-Chinese and Dutch-Moluccan descent – with their formative cultures. 

MERDEKA marks their first step in an overall departure from western club music. For its layered sound, Animistic Beliefs once again draw from the past, present and future of global club music, creating a sonic space where fast techno, warped breakbeats and ambient soundscapes make way for the augmented influence of (Southeast Asian) tribal music. 
The record incorporates Indonesian scales and recordings of 
the Tahuri (a wind instrument made out of a conch shell), Totobuang (Gamelan-like gongs) and Tifa drums, known as ‘the Moluccan heartbeat’. 
There is no audible distinction between old and new, between organic and digital, between instrumentation and voice. 
It is through words that the artists further touch on their experience; To Dream About Water opens with a stirring spoken word fragment by Marvin, marking the first time his voice is recognizably featured, whereas Khi Minh Gap Lai (‘Until We Meet Again’) centres on a Vietnamese poem by Linh, in which she beseeches her ancestors and finds a safe haven for unanswered questions. 

In true Animistic Beliefs fashion, MERDEKA will set fire to sweltering clubs and (sleepless) dreams. Yet, for the artists, it is essential to amplify the stories that spark that flame and keep it burning. 
The release of MERDEKA follows CACHE/SPIRIT, their ongoing collaboration with visual artist Jeisson Drenth, which extensively explores the artists’ intersectional identities. As such, the latest album is the next step within a bigger, introspective investigation. More unapologetic than ever, MERDEKA embodies a turning point on Animistic Beliefs’ ongoing journey towards self-acceptance – fuelled by the sound of urgency.

CITY BEAM

'SWEETZ' is a mixtape by Kuya Neil, a Filipino-Australian electronic producer based in Narrm (Melbourne), Australia. The project is inspired by Davao City's Budots and blends 2000s Filipino hip hop, R&B, and pop melodies with juke, footwork, EDM and techno sounds.

'SWEETZ' is the older sibling to Kuya Neil's 2018 release, 'BARRIO TRAX', and continues to celebrate Original Philippine Music (OPM) in the global club context.

'3X' sets the pace and intention of the mixtape, with blaring siren synths, rapid-fire kick drums and chopped vocals. ‘Put Your Hands up’ and 'Facebook (interlude}' riff off the distinctly sentimental and pop-friendly melodies in 2010s Pinoy RnB and hip-hop, while ‘It’s My Life’ takes a more aggressive approach to the Budots blueprint, with a guest verse from Sydney underground rap affiliate BAYANG (tha Bushranger). ‘Let’s Go’ closes out with emotional guitar leads, EDM plucks and a classic Nu-Metal vocal sample, showcasing Neil’s genre-bending and world building approach to dance music production.

‘SWEETZ’ is available for download via Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Visualisers by Nguyễn Vũ Trụ available on YouTube.

Let's Go
