'Gambang Suling' by Tony Scott, The Indonesian Allstars.
A mix of gamelan and jazz can never go wrong.
'Maine Kaha Tha Mat Jao Tum' by Shin.
Nice tune to chill to.
'Ratu Dansa' by Carefree.
It’s a song my husband and friends love and it’s a great song to dance to! It’s a cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Off The Wall’.
'Morning Sex' by Golden Mile Band.
Everything Kribo Records create is killa.
'Hu Man' by Greentea Peng.
She’s currently one of my favourite singers, she has the coolest energy about her and a very unique voice.

Moodymann’s ‘Moodymann’ album is one of my favourites.

Nice song to chill to.

Radiohead forever, they are my favourite band of all time.
