Harrison Phinney the older I get, the more I appreciate what I’ll call ‘purity’ in music. if I want tonality, give me pipe organ drones. if I want rhythm and texture, give me pure polyrhythmic percussion. not sure if this makes me old or simply jaded. regardless, the drum transcends everything: time, space, ego, culture. riyl joão pais filipe, mohammed reza mortazi. Favorite track: Karnal.

m jg r Uwalmassa's best yet! Haunting and disorienting tones, but always grounded with lively and evolving percussion. Uwalmassa/DIVISI62 are really carving out their own lane in electronic music while sounding like no one else, huge respect. Favorite track: Rantas.

about

Vinyl: honestjons.com/shop/label/Mana

Uwalmassa shape their relationship with various forms of musical heritage into technical and stylish forms on Malar, marrying acoustic sonics with a contemporary outlook that reflects their Indonesian identity; evolving, mutating, and scavenging traditions to draw parallels to dance music, and to test the adaptability and flexibility of those sounds.

Here the collective go dark and deep in their first album-length collaboration with Mana, casting long shadows and moving snake style at speed across nine tracks. Using a mix of synthetic and acoustic instruments - the texture of Malar feels enigmatic, occasionally industrial, and the result magical in its mystery and fluctuating impact.

Uwalmassa is the name with which DIVISI62, arts & music collective from Jakarta, Indonesia, perform and produce music.
