Being a huge fan of Indonesian music I went nuts when I found this MP3 blog, Madrotter.
This is a lovely site as it gives a small peep into the insanely diverse musical world of Indonesia without cutting too many corners. Poking through the blog archive, you can see that near its inception, it's weighted far more toward the underground hip hop scene in Indonesia. This makes sense too as he is Rotterdam ex-pat Hip hop producer who's been living Indonesia (currently in Bandung, West Java) since 1996.
More recently, Madrotter's been digging up all sorts of treasures, from hip hop to Jaipong, schmaltzy Waldjinah records, traditional Sundanese stuff, hardcore ... even Indonesian bollywood!??!?!
Exciting, to say the least. Pay Madrotter a visit or one every few days. He lives in Indonesia, so surely has access to a lot of awesome things quite readily. The Mp3s are only 128kbps, but the Internet ain't the same over there, I've been told so cut the dude some slack!
