Pocket Magik’s interview in Juice Magazine, Singapore
The Pocket Magik is a fairly new collaborative effort between Melvin (Betaphats) and Kurt (Clash the Disco Kids) from Singapore. Being the recent talk of the town, their self-produced tunes are regarded as soulful, timeless and genre-less.
Here’s what Case Woo (one of Singapore’s biggest music producer) has got to say about their new album:
“Finally Singapore has hope and a future and it came in the form of a collaboration between two young duos. Kurt and Melvin, I salute you wholeheartedly. This is what I have been waiting for. Everyone should own a copy of this album because it is unpretentious and soulful, it has beautiful melodies and yet it is deep. I actually stopped whatever I was doing and sat up to listen carefully. This is good shit I tell you and I am impressed beyond words. There is no such thing as local or not local, there is only artistry.”

Legendary electro duo, 2ManyDJs a.k.a. Soulwax, recently headlined this year’s Reading Festival alongside other big names such as The Strokes, Muse, Two Door Cinema Club and Interpol. The boys, clad in their usual smart suits, were charming the crowd away with their signature remixes and catchy visuals just like our last encounter with them at KL Live (hmmm well, not really). Anyway, if you have an hour to spare then check out the video which is well worth your time.
