The Sound of South Borneo Indie

“The Sound of South Borneo Indie” brings together a wide spectrum of independent music emerging from the southern part of Kalimantan. From jagged punk and hardcore edges to moody lo-fi, dream pop, indie rock, and hip-hop hybrids, this playlist highlights the diversity of sounds pulsing through South Borneo’s underground and DIY scenes. Bands like Rockapudink and Heatseeker bring distorted, energetic riffs, while acts like KACAMATA PACAH and Minor offer more melodic, melancholic textures.

Tracks like “Banjarmasin” by Mondblume and “Pambatangan” by Primitive Monkey Noose give nods to regional identity, while songs like “Kalimantan VS Everybody” by Wasaka make bold statements through raw lyricism. There's also genre-hopping here—from the pop-infused collab “Come Closer” to the high-speed grit of Democrust’s “Lawan”. Whether it’s the hard-hitting impact of “Borneo Hardcore” by SixFive’0 or contemplative pieces like “Semesta” by SCRD, this collection sketches out a portrait of a restless, self-driven music culture far from the major-label spotlight.
