Ahmad Naqi and I talk about our encounters with Malaysian type design and his experience freelacing vs. now working in a firm. We share our interest in American comedy as well as ponder the importance of visual identity in the day and age of 100 gecs and deep fried memes. 

Akhilan (Gasing) and I talk about the DJ scene post-COVID, Glitchpop and him being in the young and off-kilter collective (playground.kl) encountering old gatekeepers. 

Karl Azari (f.rider) and I talk about the internet, from 4chan to Instagram, and explore the the state of our lives now constantly being on social media.

From fashion to music, the race to be the coolest ‘creative’ individual happens on Instagram.

New setup episode with Orang Malaya, talking about the ‘burden’ of being the leader of the rap underground, the limitations of creating a clean and professional sound and hoping people have fun making music again. Sorry for the abrupt ending, iPad battery died.
