UNDERRADAR Jakarta & BASSIS Shanghai bring together 19 techno producers for Asia Futurist

Jakarta based fashion label UNDERRADAR teams up with music and creative agency BASSIS Shanghai for Asia Futurist, a charity compilation featuring 19 techno artists from across Asia.

The compilation is the first step in what we’re being told is a long term and exciting partnership between Jakarta and Shanghai.

UNDERRADAR is a fashion label born from the Indonesian capital, and a brainchild of techno producer and DJ Ecilo together with fashion-designer-slash-creative-director Trisatria — the fashion label falls under the creative agency umbrella they are currently developing with several international music-based projects already secured in the pipeline.

The fundraising compilation, Asia Futurist, falls under their ethos to support the music community and will be the first in a continuing series — the second compilation is due at the end of the year and will focus on house producers from Asia.

Although a charity has yet to be finalised, we have confirmed with the team at UNDERRADAR that 80% of the proceeds will be donated to individuals in Indonesia, and not through an international organisation for fear of inefficient use of the funds.
