Funkot is short for "funky kota," or "funky city" in Indonesian. It is an incessantly upbeat and quick-tempo style electronic music that developed from street parties and dance halls of Indonesia's urban working class. While the typical metronomic beat is immediately recognizable, it also incorporates a diverse range of influences from regional pop styles to breakbeat, techno and trance. Therefore, I have included some related influences and avant-garde interpolations to highlight the broader melting pot context. This is music for everyone to set their troubles down for the day and shake every joint loose: a vibe that heals even the coldest-hearted cynic long before sunrise. I am grateful to Leilani Hermiasih, Andreas Siagian, Indra Menus, and Lana Pranaya for their help in developing this playlist. Mereka yang paling mantap!
