Non Sequitur: Sarena Hashim

Moving away slightly from what we usually do here - cos too much of the same thing is not good for health and distractions serve a great purpose in life - here's the first post to Non Sequitur; all about discovering & rediscovering 'other' great music, ironically or not.



On the list today is Sarena Hashim. A gem of a voice I discovered while researching on Ismail Haron (don't ask me why and I will cover him here soon). From the record-cutting era of the 60's & 70's, lets say as I perceive it, Sarena was the equivalent of Nancy Sinatra in the enclosed yet vibrant Malay music scene. I bet they party as hard too. But she seems to be kinda underrated. Well for one, unlike Ismail Haron, she doesn't have her own wiki stub and secondly, my parents have very little knowledge of her. With an EP backed by one of the most celebrated bands in Singapore & Southeast Asia, The Quests, who cares whether it was really Rolling Good Times back then, this nostalgic sound of Sarena deserves to be unearthed now. So if there's gonna be a Steam Kodok Volume 2, someone please let me know!

Justice vs. N.E.R.D. (ft. Q-Tip, Common & De La Soul) - She Wants to Dance (Max Lane Refix)


The virginal upp/circular refix, or if you want to indulge me; cook'upp.
And as you can see, we have been more productive.
Let's hope it stays that way. Till then!

Mixtapes Get Physical

An extremely limited set of the current upp/circular mixtapes collection CDs (yes, we are still suckers for the appeal of the physical) will be making their way to Bali this week and Barcelona later next month courtesy of the Pushin'On crew. So if you happen to chance upon these funk boys from Singapore, be nice and say hi. They might just pass you a copy.

DISJUNCTURE OF POP

It's the Labour Day holiday, workers are taking a break, inflation is diluting my coffee and it's time to make pop matters again. If you're a music snob, here's a mix that is Not Safe For Work (NSFW). To avoid weird looks, fiery frowns and stabbing stares, please put on your ear/head phones. If it doesn't matter, well, shut up and dance.
