Endless Return presents PROTO ANIMALIA PROJECT, "JAWIR" EP Release Party

Endless Return's last party provocation of the year 'PROTOPESTA' at 'The Projector (Cineleisure) on October 12, Saturday celebrates Proto Animalia Project's first EP "JAWIR" which debuts as our label's second release.

For this special celebration, Proto Animalia Project will be flying all the way down from Yogyakarta to grace audiences and Endless die-hards with a high-powered performance. We have also invited Singaporean experimental music veteran George Chua to open with a butoh set and orchestrated some exciting movement and sonic pairings with local fan favourites like Yetpet (Strange Weather) and dancer Loy whom some might know better from his DJ moniker Loyboy (5210PM Music). turbo boyfriend (Subplot Systems) will also be performing with the inimitable rosytimah, a long awaited collaboration that we are proud to have as part of the Endless repetoire. After his unforgettable set at Star9azer last October, we had to have ER favourite Sanjonas back again for another round of madness.

Join us for a night of unbridled chaos — where every kinetic and sonic interaction fuels a high voltage circuit of boundless energetic exchange.

The EP “JAWIR” serves as a sonic critique of the stigma that often leads to feelings of inferiority and marginalization, especially among those who move to a big city. By reclaiming and deconstructing the term, Proto Animalia Project aims to raise awareness about the deeper social implications of such stereotypes, challenging listeners to reflect on the impact of language and cultural perceptions on minorities, alienation, stereotyping, and discrimination.

The lead single, “jumawa” will be available on October 4, 2024 across all streaming platforms and the full album release will be fully available on October 11, 2024.

Ultimately, “JAWIR” is not just a musical release but a statement against the reinforcement of negative stereotypes, calling for a more nuanced and respectful understanding of cultural identity.

We are all different, so what?

Proto Animalia Project is a groundbreaking collective that merges sound, visuals, and movement into a unique artistic experience. Led by Mahamboro as X0-101 (The Sonic Alchemist/Music), Byakta Babam as Nudibranchia (The Dreamforge Designer/costume designer and visual aesthetic), and Otniel Tasman as COLEXMAN (The Dance Sorcerer/Dancer), the trio blends electronic music, traditional Javanese sounds, surreal costumes, and contemporary dance. Their performances explore identity, culture, and the unknown, offering audiences a ritualistic journey through time and space, through their own imaginary mind. Proto Animalia Project challenges artistic boundaries, creating immersive experiences that redefine the future of performance art.
