This event is over.
Straight-ahead drums, rhythmically augmented with tantalising percussion and pops, carve out a groove worthy of every house party playlist.
An amalgamation of sounds gathered to accompany and flesh out many of life’s bittersweet moments—from meeting up, to separation, confusion and panic attacks.
Songs from his recently released album Untuk Kau will be performed, conveying melancholic themes of a breakup. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are among the complex and uplifting notes of his music.
FLQ
FLQ, aka Faliq, is a bedroom synth pop artist and producer from Malaysia. FLQ's debut release, Untuk Kau, is his self-produced album with collaborations with various local talents. The album features sounds and styles with influences from the 1980s city pop and nostalgia pop. The album's heart is a continuation of Faliq's previous producing works but with a different voice.
The album initially began its pre-production during the lockdown. Being isolated from the world, Faliq found his new voice by being immersed in his latest project.
Drawing inspiration from ’80s Japanese and Indonesian city pop, FLQ creates his own sound through seven original tracks composed and produced by himself, featuring upcoming and talented Malaysian next-gen collaborators such as Hullera, Dian, Acap LOKO, Pi'e Ramayan, EJ Safari, and Lola.
FLQ is signed to singer Yuna’s independent record label, Yuna Room Records.
FLQ’s first single Menari dalam Memori featuring Acap LOKO & Dian was released in December 2022, and his debut album was released in March 2023.
