How’s everyone doing today? It’s almost approaching the end of April & I still couldn’t believe that we’ve already reached our 14th installment of Heartattack! This time we have a very special guest from Jakarta, Anugrah Esa. Aside from running Doombringer record label as well as playing in numerous punk bands such as Paralerpe and Lock Off (to name a few), Esa’s also been involved in the local independent scene for quite sometimes. Whether it’s writing zines, organizing shows, putting out records or performing in a band, Esa’s love affair with punk and its subsidiaries won’t show any sign of slowing down, just yet. So what would be better than to hear it straight from the man himself! It’s time for some global chaos takeover!
——————————-
Anugrah Esa:
This is actually the first time I do mixtape or playlist. It was quite a strange feeling when Jan invited me to do a portion for Heartattack. I’ve been a regular listener of Maximum Rock ‘n Roll Radio, Profane Existence Radio, Sonic Overload Radio as well as other online radio. But to be the one who came up with the playlist, I’d never thought of that until now. So here you go, 21 songs that fill up my shitty mp3 player. These songs pretty much accompany me in the morning while facing a dirty combo of hangover and fucked up traffic, while in the evening it’s another combo of 8 hours of slavery work and another same old shit traffic. I hope you enjoy this until you run out of breath. Play it on maximum volume for maximum output ’cause we all know that your life’s a mess, you piece of shit!
