In this episode, we sit down with Ildo Hasman, the drummer of Perunggu, as he tells us about the early days of releasing music with zero expectations, simply putting songs out into the world without worrying about where it would take them and the time when he felt that spark of “wow, this band is the real deal” for the first time. At the heart of our conversation we see Ildo’s perspective on what some can say as a kind of mental privilege, where he has the freedom to make music and be in a band without the crushing pressure of having to “succeed” by industry standards. For him, being a musician isn’t about chasing fame or numbers, it’s about passion, joy, and the pure love of playing.-----------------If you've watched the video until the end you probably notice there's a quick plug for our perfume collaboration with Avalanche.

Where do we even begin with this one?Omara Esteghlal dropped by, and what started as a casual conversation about his new upcoming film "Tinggal Meninggal", a movie with a fresh out of the norm format, quickly turned into one of our most introspective conversations yet. We talked about philosophy, not just as an academic subject (although, he studied it for real), but also as a way he navigates the world. We suggest you make a cup of coffee before enjoying this episode because this conversation felt like a 3 AM conversation with someone who actually thinks before they speak.-----------------If you've watched the video until the end you probably notice there's a quick plug for our perfume collaboration with Avalanche.

Some people pick up music. Endah let it pick her.Long before "Endah N Rhesa,” she was already deepening her knowledge and skills in music, going to competitions and finding her own feet as what kind of musician she wants to be. In this conversation, she tells us about growing up with in a household where music was always playing in the background. But this episode isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about identity, her independence to create as an Indie artist, and the power of building music with your own hands and the community around it.-----------------If you've watched the video until the end you probably notice there's a quick plug for our perfume collaboration with Avalanche.
