Listen to Orang’s new single, ‘R U Down With It’

Despite being busy with his band Lust, mysterious bedroom producer Orang is back with a new song. In true Orang fashion, tribal-like sounds and mumbling vocals interweave with a hint of something tropical in this single off his upcoming EP ‘Everyone’. If you’re wondering what the song is about, Orang has described it as somewhat of a 'first world problem'. Scene: two people arguing about where to go on holiday – ‘we can talk about seeing what you want to / we can talk about going where you want to’. The full five-track EP will be out this July in digital format as well as in limited hand-dubbed cassettes featuring artwork by Muntasir Mohamed.



‘R U Down With It’ is also the first song to be released under new record label Botanic Records helmed by BFM's ‘Into The Blue’ host Tim Sharp and visual artist Zulamran Hilmi. The label aims to become a platform for talents from around Southeast Asia, starting with KL and Singapore. According to the duo, the label isn’t restricted by genre but looks forward to releases that would create conversations about the traits of communities or locations. Later in the year, there are plans for a new project with elusive producer Adam Kasturi.

‘R U Down With It’ is available for download on Bandcamp. For more info visit www.facebook.com/botanicrecords.
