▼WV121: Jaydawn & Wukir Suryadi – Pucung, Pangkur Jeung Hujan Bedog
(Songs of Death, Retreat, and Rain of Machetes)

WV Sorcerer Productions proudly presents this collaboration with Grimloc Records, Bandung’s cornerstone of underground countercultural sound, known for championing uncompromising voices across genres. This alliance bridges Indonesia’s radical industrial hip-hop with the experimental vanguard from beyond.

A collision between two uncompromising forces in Indonesia’s underground—Jaydawn’s gritty, sample-scarred beatcraft and Wukir Suryadi’s raw, hand-built sonic rituals. Recorded between Bandung and Salatiga, this genre-breaking work fuses distorted rhythm, ancestral resonance, and industrial tension into a soundtrack of resistance. A hallucinatory dispatch from a city under siege, where displacement hides behind the language of development.

▼

This collaboration was forged not in comfort, but in contradiction. Two of Indonesia’s most uncompromising underground figures—Jaydawn, Bandung’s rogue boom-bap architect, and Wukir Suryadi, the genre-eviscerating shapeshifter behind Senyawa—collide in a visceral new project that defies category and disobeys silence. Their debut collaboration is not just an album—it is a rupture, an aural pamphlet, a ghost howl from the dance hall beneath the rubble of a city being sold. Crafted in the sacred noise labs of Studio Tingkir (Salatiga) and Cutz Chamber (Bandung), this 10-track release fractures hip-hop, ambient drone, Bambu Wukir metallurgy, and industrial echoes into a palette of resistance. One war-song, “Parancah”, features a searing verse from Bandung’s own acid-spitter, Morgue Vanguard. Titled “Pucung, Pangkur Jeung Hujan Bedog” (translated as “Songs of Death, Retreat, and Rain of Machetes”), this project is both elegy and uprising.

Jaydawn’s beatwork is carved from vinyl cracks, cassette hiss, metal clank, and turntablist ruins—echoing DJ Muggs, DJ Premier, and the political edge of The Bomb Squad, while rooted deeply in Bandung’s own lineage of sonic resistance: Homicide. His textures refuse polish. They choose grit.

Wukir Suryadi, the mystical engineer of raw tradition, conjures a language of bowed bamboo, scratch-built strings, and ancestral distortion. His instrument is never the same twice. It breathes, convulses, and testifies. With Morgue Vanguard behind the producing desk, they soundtrack a Bandung under siege—where “revitalization” is code for displacement, and “development” is a velvet glove over state violence.

Accompanied by writings that channel the ghosts of the Situationist International and the militancy of urban poor struggles, this album is an act of counter-cartography—drawing lines across erased kampungs, evicted dreams, and unauthorized prayers. It is music made with the ruins, not merely about them.

Wukir Suryadi
Shape-shifter of sound, half of Senyawa — drags the ghosts of gamelan and guttural metal onto the classical stage. His hands are rituals: plucking, bowing, summoning chaos and calm in a single breath. He invents instruments the way others invent excuses. Hailing from Salatiga, Indonesia, his music walks barefoot across centuries—haunting, primal, always unfinished. He brings theatrical ruckus to the classical stage, plucking, strumming, and bowing his way from peaceful meditations to rhythmical frenzies. The evolution of his music is never complete as he utilizes the agility of his instrument to collaborate with musicians and performance artists from around the world, fluently bridging musical styles and inventing new instruments as he goes.


Jaydawn
Bandung’s beat-smith from the undercurrent began in the cipher shadows of the early 2000s. From D’Army to Eyefeelsix, he’s stayed true to the dirty reel-to-reel dream: boom-bap, dusty drums, and samples scraped from rust, vinyl cracks, and cassette hiss. Alongside his mentors, DJ Evil Cutz and Morgue Vanguard, Jaydawn forms the backbone of Napalm Squad, a production unit behind numerous influential local releases—most notably Blakumuh’s debut album, Krowbar’s Galaksi Rima Sakti, and Rand Slam’s 9051. His remix credits include genre-crossing reworks for acts like Homicide and Efek Rumah Kaca.

Jaydawn’s sound is steeped in grit and groove, echoing the spirit of DJ Muggs, DJ Lethal, early Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, and the raw political energy of The Bomb Squad. Locally, his biggest influence remains Homicide, a touchstone in his sonic language. Drawing samples from funk, rock, metal, and traditional Indonesian sounds, Jaydawn crafts a broad palette—from classic, hard-hitting boombap to the eerie minimalism of contemporary drumless hip-hop.

snwv – music at a distance 280 (Self-Released)

Label Description:

One element of creativity that’s undervalued, I think, is whim. We can make plans and restrict ourselves to certain forms, but newness and variety can enter by following a thought in the moment. Right before this performance, I thought of using some clipped string ends and the violin bow as ways of exciting the strings, and adding unintentional sounds. As a result, some of these pieces have sonic profiles that are unusual for this series.

The resulting timbres have the quality of small, distant bells, or sounds from an indeterminate instrument. The conventionally played notes often resemble low brass or wind instruments. These pieces are in line with the meditative quality of the series, though the timbral variety suggests new areas to explore.

The titles of these pieces are references to the visual and performance art of Hamish Fulton. Thank you for listening!

Zane Trow – Ibis (Room40)

Label Description:

A note from Zane

the moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and

… judgment, so they say

i have got to know a stand of sixteen Ibis quite well over the last few years, never any trouble

we live in times of rising fascism once more, though of course, it has never been far away. the endless war stretches on. the whole system – the onslaught of inhumane competition, the normalisation of cruelty, racism, genocide …

“ni dios, ni estado, ni patrón” …

from the stand there is one Ibis, once or twice every day, to oversee an avocado tree and keep a keen eye, just in case some avos might fall … the tree is forty years old … the bill well skilled.
 
most of the field recordings here are from the same stretch of wetlands and riverside. many birds live there, and they try their best not to offend anyone, but their habitat will soon be scraped out and covered in crude development. there are three recordings of the same lagune at different times of day, one is treated and overlayed on another … and one is annotated with a distant creek at nightfall, in the mountains after a cyclone. there is also a bell, treated, from the ice cream truck that, for the last twenty years or so, has passed up my street every month …
in the evolving electronics, feedback styling and synthesis improvisation there is an abiding interest in the raveling and unraveling of sonic textures .. exploring unresolved tensions between ideas of time and space, the recorded and the live, the analogue and the digital, the real and the unreal …
……………..
analogue, digital and virtual synthesizers, found sounds, sonic devices, analogue echo & digital delay units, percussives.

created, recorded, audiomulched and mixed at Studio Vector in Slacks Creek, January thru June 2025.

I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country and to all Elders past, present and emerging, the Traditional Owners of the lands, winds and waters.
Many thanks to Lawrence English for mastering and support.

Aduanten – Apocryphal Verses (Self-Released)

Physical copies of the album (CD & Vinyl) and t-shirts are available from the Avantgarde Music Bandcamp page :
avantgardemusic.bandcamp.com/album/sam-sr


HH – Guitars
BD – Guitars
CV – Bass, Vocals, & Violin

Ed Herbers – Tartarus (Self-Released)

Label Description:

A group of space-faring scavengers are navigating a remote region of the galaxy when the ship’s sensors alert them to an unidentified object looming in the distance.

“Sensors detect a massive freighter up ahead. Looks like it was powered down and abandoned out here. Its callsign is coming through as “Tartarus,” but there’s no other data available (manifest, origin, destination). I’m sure we could salvage some useful scrap from it—let’s dock and check it out.”

Although the ghost ship appears to be empty, the crew quickly discovers that they’re not alone…and a simple salvage mission becomes a desperate fight for survival.

Inspired by media like Dead Space and Alien, Tartarus is an atmospheric and immersive dark ambient, sci-fi horror/suspense experience.


All songs produced and mixed by Ed Herbers.

Big thanks to Adventsong for suggesting the album title (adventsong.bandcamp.com)

Several pieces from this album previously appeared in other contexts:
– “Promise & Peril” and “Insomnia” were released as singles in early 2023. At the time, I had no plans to use them on anything else, but as Tartarus started to take shape, I realized both of these tracks were perfect for it.
– “No One Is Going To Save Us” previously appeared on the “Passed Away” compilation, from Passed Recordings, in 2022 (passedrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/passed-away-2)
– “Entropy” previously appeared on “Heavy for the Hollers” a compilation benefiting hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina following Hurricane Helene (liminaldreadproductions.bandcamp.com/album/heavy-for-the-hollers)
