Happy New Year and good riddance to the god awful 2020! In this short episode Alisya and I talk about the little we gain from being dengki and spiteful if people around us, especially considering how small the scene actually is. We also give a quick little optimistic update of our beloved venue!

Sayla and I talk about the growth and maturity of the local Hip-hop community, how identity politics is weaving its way into the mainstream and his extensive experience working in corporate advertising. 

In this episode I go on a (really) long theory as to why the state of the creative industry is in the way that it is. I have believed in it for quite some time, I feel it is still relevant now and would like to share my perspective with you all.

Kelly and I talk about our privileged upbringing studying overseas and its differences with here, our thoughts on the future of monthly magazines and her impressions on the KL music and fashion scene. 

Khadijah and I share our hesitance in performing our work, skater superstars and our experiences with bezodiazepines. 

Anwar and I talk about Youtube’s early days, content creation, the local comedy scene and podcasting with a persistent mental sparring from Anwar so I finally understand the difference between a comedian and an improv artist. 

Maira and I talk about the first issue of her identity-focused magazine, Saya. Magazine, the obnoxious Malay pakciks at the mamak downstairs and the necessary provision of a creative platform for the voices unheard. 

Alisya and I share our experiences being affected by the Rona as creatives and a business, ponder the future of the Creative Arts and our progress at ‘democratizing’ it and lastly argue on the likelihood of VR house parties and lifelike sex robots.

Naufal and I go to a trip down memory lane reminiscing the rave days, discussing our music taste now, picking up episode 6’s KL Nightlife subject and ponder the craziness that is paying RM279 for an international DJ set...but not for local talent.
