Eric Hausmann How is it that people half my age, from the other side of the planet, are making music that somehow reminds me of my New York childhood? And yet, I've been in their neighborhood too and we've no doubt been in the same places. The world is a funny place, and this record is one the best things in it. Terima kasih-you are the kings and queens of Geylang. Respect. Favorite track: Korkap Mestap.

about

“Sound of Lecak Vol.1” is a double LP compilation album featuring various contemporary artists from the Singaporean underground.

“A melting pot of vivid sounds from the Singaporean label Kribo Records. Best-suited for night-driving, flying, and coming up with new dance moves.”

"Sitting atop a bean curd shop on grungy Geylang Road in Singapore, a room filled with vintage gear serves as the home and studio of Kribo Records, the home-grown independent label founded by the enigmatic musician and producer known simply as Maggot. This is where his madcap studio wizardry conjures up the muggy, sweaty, funky and groovy tunes that soundtrack his world within the melting pot culture of his homeland.

This is the Sound of Lecak, a regional stamp on the global retro funk and soul movement, inspired by the indigenous word that can mean moist, wet, muddy or even naughty. Filtered through his love of global soul and rhythms of the ‘60s and ‘70s, Maggot and his collaborators offer up a vibe that’s equal parts Thai Luk Thung / Molam, African Afrobeat, 70’s U.S. funk, disco, psych, soul, and U.K. pop. This collection of Kribo Records singles provides a peek into Maggot’s singular musical attitude, and provides a window into the unique cultural landscape of the Nusantara archipelago."
