XIN LIEMapagkeun Kawani / Digital Leather Tweaker

DDR004 is "Mapagkeun Kawani," the debut 12" EP from Bandung’s own Xin Lie. This three-track offering skillfully combines the ethos of Bandung's hardcore punk scene with the evocative rhythms of Sundanese Dogdog drums, crafting a sound that is reflective of Xin Lie’s diverse musical background and connection to Indonesia's musical history.Xin Lie, born Diannov Pamungkas, has navigated multiple worlds, starting from his days in the hardcore punk scene to exploring the traditional performing arts of his Sundanese heritage. This journey informs his approach to production, particularly his use of traditional percussion which he samples and recontextualizes into a modern electronic drum palette.The EP includes two remixes: producer Bagvs delivers a sharp, stripped-down take on "MAPAGKEUN," while New York's Laenz transforms "PANEN" into a fast-paced, percussive wormhole.Mastered for vinyl and streaming by Enyang Ha, mastering engineer for Bjork, Arca and Tzusing.All tracks written by Diannov PamungkasArtwork by SpaceheadtrDesign by Jesse PimentaMastered by Enyang Ha / UrbiksMixed by Raphael ValensiHouseTechnoIdmExperimentalElectroLimitedBeatsExperimentalLimited
