Music Production
by Kevin Yeoh on Friday, 19th March 2010
Greg Henderson is no stranger to the Malaysian local scene. This Aussie fella started in Sydney since 1984, moved to Singapore in 1995 and has been in Malaysia since 1997. Hired as a senior engineer at Synchrosound Studio and worked on local female rockstar Ella on her El album, which won him an Anugerah Industri Muzik award in 2000 for that album. He has worked with big guns such as OAG, Pop Shuvit, Anuar Zain and so many more. We asked Greg to shed some producing knowledge on us. Here goes. [more »]

Pop Yeh Yeh
by Ben Liew on Saturday, 26th September 2009
In the 1960s, Pop Yeh Yeh ruled the Malay music scene across the borders of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. With the British invasion came the everlasting influence of bands like The Beatles and The Shadows. Local musicians started mimicking the Brit fashion style and music but also combine elements of US Surf Rock ala bands like The Ventures. According to Wikipedia, the term Pop Yeh Yeh was taken from a line from the Beatles song ‘She Loves You’ (“she loves you / yeah-yeah-yeah”). However, this may not be scripture as the term Pop Yeh Yeh was never used in the 60s but much later when the genre was revived in the 80s by M. Shariff & The Zurah.

Detonate: Mini Compo - The Past’s Future Dance Punk
LapSap’s and Twilight Actiongirl’s DJ Xu couldn’t be more different than the much less recognised Jit Woei of Nightlife Camera and The Beads fame. For one the respective genres they represent on their own are so disparate that when compared they are not just apples and oranges, they’re algae and cardboard boxes.
