Funk

It’s one of the best kept secrets of the Indonesian archipelago. Hidden away on a pop album inspired by The Police, lies ‘Licik’, a deep vocoder funk workout lasting over nine minutes. ‘Licik’ is a hauntingly unique track and a testament to the quality of some of the best music the archipelago has to offer. It’s the first recorded Indonesian song to use the vocoder in such a way. The B-side pays tribute with a re-contextualisation of the original by Bali-based Dea Barandana.

If you’re in the middle of a soul searching effort, this might point you in the right direction. Lost treasure Dancin’ In The Flames Of Love by Regina James. This record first saw the light of day back in 1978 and was never reissued on vinyl.
