One of Indonesia’s greatest musicians passed away this morning on friday December 29th, 2023 at 09:00 (WIB) at St. Carolus Hospital in Jakarta.

Halo teman2, some unfortunate news regarding the release of JIWA001. The pressing plant notified us that the production is delayed until June. To soften the blow we thought it might be the right time to share with you a beautiful live rendition of Dea’s 'Licik' tribute.

Back in 2017 for the HF Young part of Holland Festival Jiwa Jiwa organized a recreation of an Indonesian toko vinyl, or record shop.

A 20 year old student in Amsterdam with a focus on the intersections between cultural memory and decolonial practices.

17 Augustus, the day on which Indonesians try to spend time with their loved ones. On this so called Independence day the people celebrate, play games and reminisce.

This coming Saturday on 11-02-2017 Jiwa Jiwa will be hosting the second room in the Claire. A great new venue in the centre of Amsterdam. This will be a party in which we share our hosting duties together with Tomorrow Is Now, Kid!

Very proud, happy and excited to announce that I (Sekan) will be a Red Light Radio resident as of this year! The first show will be in exactly one week on january 10th. 20.00-21.00 (CET). 

Finally you can get a feel for the sound Jiwa Jiwa represents. The mix I recorded for THUMP is available on Soundcloud and Mixcloud. Almost two hours full of Indonesian Rare Grooves.
