As one journey begins to wane, another begins to wax. In the conclusive leg of his Asian tour set on the launch of his latest album, Ikhlas, Fauxe takes to The Moon, where we commence our journey with you to faraway worlds. Come to The Moon and groove to the tunes of opening act, Reddi Rocket, who has played alongside the likes of Yellowclaw before Fauxe captains our journey through Ikhlas; an album that takes the city dweller back to Kampung through Gaut, Kapak, Ondeh-Ondeh, amongst many other tracks. Portals open at 9pm on Aug 4. Pre-sale tickets are now available for $8 ($10 at the door).About Ikhlas: Born of eight months spent in the Malaysian city of Kuala Lumpur, Ikhlas is a collection of 16 concise, energetic tracks that samples a range of Malaysian music in various languages (Malay, Tamil, Hokkien) and across time periods with love, care, and just a touch of irreverence. It’s an album that hits home for listeners from Singapore and Malaysia—two nations that used to be one until separation in 1965. FAUXE uses Ikhlas to tell a more linear story of someone leaving their village (the kampung) for the big city, but also draws out modern grooves from old songs and asks us to see the sophistication in what we might have dismissed as rustic.Listen to Ikhlas at - https://chinabot.bandcamp.com/album/fauxe-i-k-h-l-a-sAbout Fauxe:Having spent the last 6 years of his life dedicating to his craft, Fauxe continuously strives to push the boundaries of his own musical endeavours.
