// Euseng Seto //
Euseng Seto, as flica, began in 2007. In his embryonic form, flica dabbled in a mishmash of the acoustic and the electronic, composing easy listening melody tunes for debut album Windwane & Window (mu-nest label). The release received an overwhelming response from Japan, which resulted in flica’s sophomore, Nocturnal, being released under Tokyo-based indie label Schole. It was during the transitionary period between his sophomore and third album that flica started delving into a darker and emotional ambient sound.

The resulting release, Telepathy Dreams (self-release), was a decidedly different approach to music making than the previous album. More focused on sound design-based compositions, the album was the maturity point of flica. This was also when he met and collaborated with visual artist Fairuz Sulaiman. flica, being a designer by trade, an audiovisual person himself, was inspired to incorporate more visual elements to his live set – creating a sensory synchronisation in sound and sight.

In his current incarnation, flica is a combination of ambient electronica by way of oriental mood, or as he put it himself; “an Asian sound with experimental element.”

// Dae Kim //
In a subjective world of music, what makes an individual musician outstanding is their ability to influence others emotionally. Dae Kim has a distinct sound. Half the time it’s hip hop, and when not, it’s fuzzy, lush electronics, communicating love and longing. With his witty commentaries during his live shows, He can be a fun dude as well but he is quite susceptible to sappy tendencies as well, just take his debut EP, ‘</3?’ for instance. However, diversity is what makes Dae Kim rather interesting. His sci-Fi inspired Hip Hop project ‘Home Court’ with Yang Ariff has provided Malaysian Hip Hop scene with the alternative sound. At the same time producing and composing for Jocelyn Stemilyn with her singles likes of ‘Pedicure’, which has gained her both commercial and underground scenes’ attention. On the other hand, directing and shooting all of his own music videos as well. His work has been featured on local magazines and new papers such as Juice Malaysia, Time Out KL, L’Official, MalayMail, The Star and so on. Furthermore, live performance is something that describes Dae Kims’ ability as a musician truly. He has performed for numerous of shows such as ImagineKL by Heineken, Electric Run with Jin Hackman, Juice Day Out 2016, Sunday Affair, Raising the Bar Festival, Moonshine Anniversary and so on. Dae Kim released his debut LP "Solace" with mü-nest in Paril this year.
