blurred edges – Hulubalang/Kasymin (id)

Hulubalang is the solo project of inventive electronic producer, sound artist, label owner (Gorong Gorong Records) and DJ Kasimyn from Indonesia, best known as one-half of Gabber Modus Operandi. Debut album 'Bunyi Bunyi Tumbal', released in June 2023 on Jordanian label Drowned by Locals. The Quietus lauded his album as "ambitious in every sense; technically masterful, conceptually complex, and emotionally potent". With Hulubalang, Kasimyn explores personal, and at the same time conceptual and narrative terrain. These ambitions brilliantly manifest on Hulubalang's debut album Bunyi Bunyi Tumbal. The album, whose title roughly translates to »Synthetic Feeling for Anonymous Sacrifice«, is a sincere sonic contemplation on the emotions born out of a deep dive into the Indonesian war archives, captured through the lens of the dutch colonizers. Throughout the brutal noise scapes, ghostly samples, ferocious polyrhythms, and mutating club music tropes of the album, Hulubalang centers on the peripheral figures populating these historical records – secondary characters, devoid of individual significance, who bear no names, receive no recognition, violently forced to serve as props in the broader narrative of history.
