FILTHY RICH CLIP LAUNCH TODAY! 15/08/2012

After four months of waiting and many delays, today (15/08/12) Yacko has released the music video Filthy Rich. Filthy Rich was directed and edited by Bima Girinda, one of the Indonesian drum and bass scenes most respected names, who is also considered as a brilliant and visionary clip director. The talented D.O.P Deska Binarso and Wisangggeni as the lighting man were also involved in the making of the video.

The video represents the i-dont-care-about-haters attitude as the song was inspired by a quote from Coretta Scott King (the wife of Martin Luther King, Jr) “Hate is too great a burden to bear. It injures the hater more than it injures the hated”. Graffiti walls as well as two young professional skaters (Satria Vijie and Deny Lizam) playing skateboards were also included as part of the elements that express freedom.

Most of the scenes were shot in Puink Skate Park, Kuningan Bridge and the underpass near Wisma BNI 46 building. You could also see a glimpse of Lawrence Philip, who is also known as DJ Random or DJ Lawrence (Javabass), the beat maker of this song. Live footages of Yacko and Lawrence at The Barons, during Phunktion (regular Javabass event) were also added to the video.

Moreover, this video is powered by Converse, Obey, Famous and Marc Ecko 20:20. For more info about Puink Skate Park, follow @puinkskatepark and visit http://puinkskatepark.blogspot.com/

Here's the video. Nanananana jumpin around!

At around 1 am, me and Lawrence took over the DJ booth. Rage Against the Machine was played to pump up every blood on the floor. Right after that, Filthy Rich was played. It sounds so frikkin DIIIRRRTTY! All the crowds gone MENTAL! I didn't know what to say, except YOU GUYS ARE FRIKKIN MASSIVE! thanks so much for being part of the live video shoot. I felt some kind of euphoric high and didn't realize that I almost lost voice that night. Unless you've experienced this feelin, you might not know what the heck I'm talkin about.

“Fell In Love with The Wrong Planet”, Peluncuran Album Kedua & Mini Exhibition Zeke Khaseli

Zeke Khaseli kembali meluncurkan album baru. Di Jumat, 13 April mendatang ia tak hanya meluncurkan album tapi sekaligus menggelar pameran kecil

“Nature procreates. Machine replicates. Life imitates. Love suffocates.” Sepenggal lirik dari lagu Causeway Bay ini terlihat sedikit menggambarkan isi album kedua Zeke. “Fell In Love with The Wrong Planet”, album kedua ini lahir dari apresiasi Zeke pada keindahan dari keseimbangan antara mahluk hidup dan semestanya.

Bukan cuma musik dalam “Fell In Love with The Wrong Planet” yang tampil beda, tapi juga kemasannya. Dikemas dalam sebuah totebag dengan delapan pilihan desain berbeda. Masing-masing desain mewakili judul lagu yang ada dalam album ini. Istimewanya totebag album ini selain menyertakan CD dan kemasannya juga terisi stiker ilustrasi serta katalog album “Fell In Love with The Wrong Planet”.

“Fell In Love with The Wrong Planet” akan diluncurkan 13 April di Goethe Institut. Berlangsung pukul 19.00 hingga 22.00 WIB, akan hadir juga sejumlah musisi yang terlibat secara personal dengan perjalanan musikk Zeke selama ini. Mereka diantaranya adalah Akbar ‘Efek Rumah Kaca’, Emil ‘Naif’, Yacko, Acum ‘Bangkutaman’, Angga ‘Indobeatbox’ dan Anggun Priambodo.

Pengunjung yang hadir di sini dapat menikmati penampilan musisi-musisi tersebut  dalam suasana semesta psikadelia. Mereka sekaligus jadi bagian dari pembuatan film dokumenter Zeke, “Panspermia”.
