Percs & Benefits - May 2025
We'd just aired our special episode of RAMPAK G, a newly-established label from Yogyakarta, Indonesia, rooted in Indonesian rhythms, scaling and instruments, and blending it with global percussion-tribal influences and beyond, to create a rich space for sonic aculturation. You can listen to the episode of our radio show on Norrm Radio's Mixcloud later when it's archived.
"Kilometre 9.3" is a representative tune for the label, and the whole compilation will be released in June 4th. Head to their Bandcamp and make sure you follow its account to stay updated.
Our favourite Mia Koden shared her three-choons package Keep it steppin', which she claimed 'built for dancefloors'. Contemporary-legendary label Night Slugs's just released DJ POLO's two-tracker Currents / Night Waves this mid-May. "Currents" is presented in Gqom styles with dreamy pads over it, a perfect track to open your percs-set.
This early of May, we did our first party at Stories, SCBD, South Jakarta, Indonesia. Go check the archives on Percs & Benefits' YouTube channel!
