Τhe grotesque reality unfolds
Indulging into utopia with awkwardness.
Always in doubt, uncertainty rules. 
When I speak no one believes me,
When I write it down, people know its true.

“We need jungle I’m afraid”
During an episode of University challenge, a BBC quiz show, Amol Rajan asked for the name of the dance music genre that had developed from the 1990s rave scene and reggae sound system culture.
“Drum’n’bass” was the answer from the University of Aberdeen.
“I can’t accept drum’n’bass - we need jungle, I’m afraid”

Trading Places is considered one of the best comedies of the 1980s and one of the best Christmas films. In the years followings its release, some critics have praised the film while highlighting elements that they believe aged poorly, including racial language, the use of blackface, and the implied rape of Clarence Beeks (movie vilain) by a gorilla.

Nusantara is the name of maritime Southeast Asia and in general refers to the Indonesian Archipelago. It is also the name of the new capital of Indonesia.

Grotesque Utopia - Nusantara Beats 022 w/ K. Pegro (30.04.24)

Footwork or juke are genres that derive from ghetto house and appeared in Chicago the late 90’s. Rapid rhythms and sub-bass frequencies create a frenzy dance style including very fast and chaotic feet moves.
