Eastern Margins embarks on a six-city Southeast Asian tour

London-based collective Eastern Margins is headed our way for a Southeast Asia tour from May 25-June 4. The ‘Road 2 Redline Tour’ will be showcasing some of the label’s artists previously featured in their ‘Redline Legends’ compilation that celebrated East and South Asian club culture.

The upcoming tour is organized by artists Lumi and AR with Jakarta-based initiative Archipelago Festival, along with some up-and-coming local artists and collectives from each city they venture into.

The team will be making its way on May 25 through Kuala Lumpur first as they land in one of the most popular underground spots in the city, Pisco. This gig will be joined by local label Tong Tong Asia and will include artists such as Shelhiel, rEmPiT g0dDe$$, Astral Angels, Core Values and Jaake.

The following day will see the tour travel to Dingdong Disko in Jakarta as collective Swanky Express pulls out the Funkot sounds from Indonesia with wardrobefanatic, Magis, Di0r, Kaizen and Xandega.

Carrying the same musical note just a little down south of Jakarta, they will be hitting the ground over in Bandung at Artotel with Bear the Brunt where Yogyakartan crew PRONTAXAN will flood the dancefloors with fast-pumping Funkot pyrotechnics joined by fellow beat purveyors Xin Lie, D-Black b2b Vimmal and Fyahman.
