Lyrics:

Leave the justice
and keep your system
I reserve my right to resist em

Break the norms
Break your trends
Tell all your secrets to your friends

Take a bag
Grab a gun
Walk down the street light your someone

Hit the wall
Climb the stairs
Look at this city where no one cares

Take the streets
Spray a line
Skeme Three Yard can free your mind

Leave your justice
and keep your system
I reserve my right to resist em
I reserve my right to resist em
I reserve my right to resist em
I reserve my right to resist em

I’m Not Crazy, Just Got PTSD” is a defiant anthem by AusticZone — a voice from the workbench, the welding shed, and the storm.

This is not a breakdown. This is a rise.

Fueled by scars, steel, and self-trust, the song calls out stigma, rewires pain into poetry, and redefines survival as strength.

Built from the bones of lived experience.
No fixing needed. No pity required.

Free to record your own version. Just credit AusticZone as songwriter.

I'm Not Crazy - Just Got PTSD

On August 25 2025, protestors took to the streets in Jakarta outside the parliament to vocalise their loss of confidence in the current parliament. While the protests were triggered by a newly announced increase in parliamentarian housing allowances, the protests were about so much more. Underpinning it all was a general lack of confidence that Indonesian politicians care about, or were effectively responding to, the very real struggles of everyday Indonesians that they are supposed to be representing. These protests spread to other parts of the country and in some cases, turned deadly.

In today’s special episode, we turn to the thoughts and responses of Indonesians currently living overseas. Being away from home when such serious and concerning events are underway poses its own challenges, and today I want to find out more about how they are getting information, what they see as the key issues, and what can be done from abroad. 

Elisabeth Kramer talks to Indonesian students currently studying at the University of Sydney, Australia--Mahesti Hasanah (PhD Candidate Political Economy), Benni Hasbiyalloh (PhD Candidate Government and International Relations) and Ifana Tungga (Masters Candidate Cultural Studies). They are some of the organisers behind Aliansi Gusar, a grassroots based organisation concerned with justice and equality in Indonesia. They share their thoughts and experiences regarding the current protests and organising  around ongoing issues in Indonesia. 

This podcast was recorded on 7 September 2025.

ROCK THIS PARTY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fuck Around Find Out

So this track was a 30 Minute Challenge I did with my producer friend "darkzero". We made it a competition, both making our own tracks in the time limit. It was made in literally only 30 minutes, mix and master, both very rough! I thought it sounded like the very first tracks I made, so, hell.... Why not drop it?

I'm also going to take this space to share something with everyone..... Something I think is important. People are scared, the world is in a scary state. But we need to remember that humanity needs compassion and patience.

Your neighbour is NOT your enemy.

If you’re reading this, read it like your future depends on it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Divide et impera” divide and rule.

It’s as old as empires themselves.

Julius Caesar
Philip II of Macedon
Niccolò Machiavelli

If people are too busy fighting each other; left vs. right, red vs. blue, neighbour vs. neighbour. They’re too distracted to notice who’s pulling the real strings above them.

And it works frighteningly well...

Billionaires and corporations don’t have to lift a finger to defend their wealth if the masses are stuck in endless culture wars. Media outlets profit off outrage because it keeps eyes glued to screens. Politicians posture at the extremes because that keeps their base fired up.

Meanwhile, wages stagnate. Housing prices explode. Healthcare becomes inaccessible. The environment collapses... And who gets blamed? Not the billionaires. Not the people at the top. So long as the narrative keeps pointing you toward the “other side” of your street...

It’s classic misdirection.

Make them look sideways so they never look up.

I'll keep standing here, pointing up...

Who's gunna stand here with me?

"We do not obey. We do not sleep."

FAFO

«ЦЕЛУЙ» — это приказ, превращённый в абсурд.
Гимн поклонения, доведённый до панковской крайности.
Шум, злость и гротеск превращают банальное слово в символ насилия и подчинения.

Мой респект Шевчуку.
Этот трек — саркастический ритуал, где любовь к власти звучит как издевка, а поклонение становится карикатурой.

Текст:

Путина люби - целую жопу

Целуй

INVOKE THE 25th
Although this is unlikely to happen, given the current makeup of the vice presidency and cabinet, it should happen, for the good of the nation. Country before party, remember? God help America. Thanks for listening. BB

Every beat, every note.
A step through struggle.
A spark of triumph.
A taste of something real.

In Sufism, “dhawq” - meaning tasting - is the personal experience of the divine, felt deeply through prayer, meditation, and music.

I’m pioneering Dag Mout, a genre born from chaos and emotion:
Crooked notes.
Distorted melodies.
Unconventional rhythms.
Heavy bass.
Dag Mout is sound that breaks the mould - because life does too.

It's more than a genre.
It's an evolving soundscape where light meets dark, and chaos finds harmony.

Controlled chaos.
Emotion as warfare.
Transformation through distortion.
Together we burn.

D.H.A.W.Q. (Pronounced “Dock”)

Depth. Harmony. Authenticity. Wonder. Quest.
Every letter tells a story:

• Depth - Music that pulls you in.
• Harmony - A balance between chaos and calm.
• Authenticity - No masks. No filters. Just truth.
• Wonder - Creativity fueled by awe and curiosity.
• Quest - A journey to leave something that matters behind.

    DHAWQ isn’t just a name.
    It’s a mission.
    A story.
    A legacy in the making.
