for everyone
Was listening to Jody Wisternoff's Way Out There February 08 and I heard this song with chinese vocals in it and I was like "???!?" So off I went to find out more about the song, and apparently the vox were done by our local Joanna Dong. Granted, I haven't heard of her before, but her vocals were really good, hauntingly beautiful on the track. Kudos to her, its east meets west on a tech house sounding track (Die Kleine Prinzessin by Robosonic, that's the track). So off I went to her Myspace Music profile, and I heard Plathonic which was a collaboration with a local producer Weili (Frontal Labs Weili?) and I was blown away. This track has been on loop since I heard it (and it is still playing now). Lyrics were from I Am Vertical by Sylvia Plath, albeit its just snippets of the poem. Still amazing nonetheless, really hope the local electronic production scene gets bigger, because I believe we have an abundance of talent waiting to burst onto the scene. The indie and rock music scene here has grown tremendously over the past few years, and I can't wait for when the electronica scene comes to life as well.

Best of luck to Joanna Dong and all the local budding producers out there in SG, let's all continue making music and hopefully, we'll make our presence felt.
