The creator behind this work centers their practice on amplifying the full range of sonic expression rooted in their home country of Indonesia, building a catalogue of mixes that reject narrow categorization to honor the breadth of creativity emerging from every corner of the archipelago. Sulung, the mix that bears this title, extends that practice, leaning into the core ethos of the Music/Mix genre to weave together a cohesive sound that draws from the vast diversity of Indonesian musical creation. Indonesia is home to more than 17,000 distinct islands, spread across a stretch of the Indian and Pacific Oceans that supports hundreds of unique ethnic groups, each with their own cultural frameworks, histories, and approaches to making and sharing music.
