The echoes of reggae music still resonate today since it was played in its native Jamaica as folk music celebrating their independence from Britain in the early 1960s. That same echo is also trying to be captured and immortalized by Mote Soundsystem, a dub trio from Surabaya that have just released an EP titled Voyager on April 28, 2023.

Voyager is their experimentation of dub elements consisting of 2 original tracks, Straight Inna Backyard and Sailing de Streets as well as 2 dub mix tracks, Dub Inna Backyard and Sailor Dub which were executed by Mote Soundsystem themselves. Track production starting from recording, mixing & mastering is done at Mustika Records and Mote Studio Surabaya.

Mote Soundsystem formed in 2020 as a live PA performance consisting of Arsyad as DJ and Glaop as well as Iddo as MC and effector. Playing Jamaican roots music such as Dub, Reggae, Rocksteady and Lovers Rock combined with live toasting and effects makes every Mote Soundsystem performance a surprising one. After 3 years running, they decided to bring the excitement on the stage into the studio and recorded it inna Mote Soundsystem own style. Voyager EP is ready to make your day feeling irie.

Dongker - Tuhan di Reruntuh Kota

RAYAKAN PEMENANG
Musik : PanduFuzztoni, Lirik : Jimi Multhazam

Debu telah merekat di T-Shirt kita, 
Hingga embun membasahi Tiap kepala
Lingkaran tak juga kunjung dibubarkan
Masih bercerita tentang zaman kebodohan

Reff:
Esok dirimu Kan terbang
Memeluk mimpi yang akhirnya kesampaian
Esok dirimu kan terbang
Tak habis fikir kami melepas pemenang

Dulu kau bahan olokan utama
Dengan Pola fikiran yang tak masuk akal
Kau tiada pernah bisa terbantahkan
Semua baru terbukti di zaman sekarang

Kami Menunggu dirimu Untuk Rayakan


Rayakan Pemenang

One listen to Constellation, Indonesian indie folk pop duo Stars and Rabbit’s debut studio album, will never be enough. These 11 solidly-produced tracks from guitarist Adi Widodo and singer Elda Suryani are enigmatic, charming, childlike, imaginative, unforgettable and more. The two old friends first joined forces in 2011, their combined musical influences including primarily British and Icelandic artists known for pushing creative limits and pioneering sound art: Sigur Rós, Coldplay, Radiohead, Emiliana Torrini, Imogen Heap, and Sia to name a few.

The result of these influences are clear in Constellation where the songs’ textures, emotions and dynamics grow and develop, sometimes starting with childlike charm, then building to a roaring intensity. Ranging from haunting acoustic Appalachian style, to heavy, driving blues rock, the songs incorporate mystical slide guitars and strings, delicate chimes, dark cellos and heavy bass. Suryani’s childlike voice floats over top with a distinctive edge reminiscent of Björk: there are no limits on what she chooses to do, stretching syllables, vocalizing wordlessly, floating melody lines in the pure enjoyment of singing. This full album, releasing digitally May 15, 2015 , is the next brilliant step for Stars and Rabbit after the 2013 release of their first EP, Live at Deus. 

Released exclusively in the Philippines by Lilystars Records under lincense from Green Island Music, Indonesia.

Thrills

It was a hot summer night when we first met 
I was only seventeen 
Your name was Robin 
and that's all I know 

I was dancing on my own in the middle of the room 
When I turned around and you caught my eye 
There was nothing else that I could really do 
But one thing for sure is that I wouldn't be alone 

You took me to your room 
And you said that I was yours 
I called you daddy 
With your hands wrapped around my neck 

You made me feel safe when you held me oh, so tight 
and fucked me in your room that night 
You were attracted to my innocence 
Also was it because I was good at giving head? 

You took me to your room 
and you said that I was yours 
I called you daddy 
With your hands wrapped around my neck 

You made me feel good 
You made me feel good 
You made me feel good 
All night long

Bathroom

My baby is taking a shit 
In the bathroom 
Would it be nice if you had 
Loved me the way I did? 

Summertime is ending now 
But I'd still like to see that smile 
You once had
