IKIMASHO Luxury Stays: Landesi by Jetwing, Galle, Sri Lanka
by joostay
Exploring Galle with classic colonial style, cricket and Jungle music. Apart from a quick stopover in Negombo in order to make an early-morning flight, the historic fort city of Galle was my last stop on my three-week Sri Lankan itinerary. The trip from Mirissa was painless, my local bus taking under an hour as it belted along the palm-fringed coast. After having already stayed in three impressive Jetwing properties, this was to be my fourth, and once again it didn’t […]

TUK-TUK SAFARI!
by joostay
Midday in Central Province, Sri Lanka: 35 degrees and the sun is brutal. After spending the night in the middle of nowhere, I check out of my hotel and start walking down a dusty lane looking to hitch a ride back out on to the main road. I see a motorbike parked in the driveway of a house and go round the back to see if anyone is about. No such luck. Soon enough I spot a tuk-tuk bobbing up […]

Committing Commerical Suicide. Drum and Bass don Klute makes his picks for Ikimasho! Tom Withers – aka Klute – has been belting out drum and bass tunes for the last twenty-odd years.

IKIMASHO! YOUTUBE SESSIONS: SYNKRO
by joostay
Bass master Synkro steps up and makes his selection for Ikimasho! Synkro AKA Joe McBride returns to R&S offshoot Apollo Records this month with the new four-track Transient EP. With its distant vocals and sweeping synths it’s reminiscent of the incredible track Guidance he made with Indigo back in 2011: layered, tightly produced and ultra-spacious. Recently, of course, Synkro has been busy working as one half of Akkord – also alongside Indigo – which resulted in a stunning self-titled album on Houndstooth last year. Akkord are making […]

IKIMASHO! YOUTUBE SESSIONS: ULTRADEMON
by joostay
Staying above water. The Voidic Charm of Ultrademon – and the evolution of Seapunk. After a debut release on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex Records, Kansas-born Chicago-based producer Ultrademon is back – releasing second album ‘Voidic Charms’ on his own Coral Records Internazionale imprint. While the first release was essentially a definition of the Seapunk genre that he himself created, Voidic Charms goes beyond that, offering a neon concoction of wonky synths, low-fi electronics, acid, grime, hard house and video game samples. Seapunk may have been what made […]

Illegal Street Racing & Raving in Surabaya, Indonesia
by joostay
Saturday nights are fun in the port capital of Java I don’t think I’ve ever been stared at as much as when I unwittingly walked into a fenced-off compound on the outskirts of Surabaya, a port city in Eastern Java one Saturday night. Having only just arrived at 9pm – and having to leave again the next morning at 6am – I only had a few hours to meander about and see what Surabaya kids get up to on the […]
