FOULWORKS INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT - KL

FOULWORKS INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT is a deeply underground group who are just surfacing in clubs across Malaysia and Singapore. Using home-made effects keyboards in their DJ sets, they produce an extremely infectious and unique sound that is gathering online and club momentum. With a growing fan base of about 2,000, the movement characterizes youth in the night life scene today - A carefree attitude sprinkled with a dash of punk and a technical know-how with lego-style DIY equipment. Driven to succeed no matter what, they have a keen understanding of community, the value of fans and the effects of their music on people.

This is how they see themselves in their own words:

Electropop, New Wave, Italo Disco meets post 70's Westwood and Warhol fashion with a dash of Kraftwerk-ianism and early-80's New York Downtown dystopian avant-garde!



TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF, WHY YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO & WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO DO IT?
Both of us are the combination of a perfectionist & an idealist. Sweet isn’t sweet without sour. Both characteristic defines the Movement & it’s the nucleus of our style & sound. The chemistry between this two set of minds bind us together.

Being able to share what we like to the people on the dancefloor is the most essential thing to us as an act. Being on stage is not cool at all, the coolest thing is to show people what you are good at as you share with them.

We obtained our inspiration from seeing top figures turning the floor upside down & reaching their dream. This urges us to excel faster. Our passion is the fuel of our actions & the resistance to the obstacles which slow us down!

E = mc2 is a true wonder of Einstein passion. Ideas should be materialize, if not it’s just an idea. We have so many things to do, a short period of time to live. Wish a day has 48 hours. Foulworks is racing against time.

TELL US ABOUT THE SCENE YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW. WHAT’S HAPPENING. WHO’S GIVING IT A JOLT. HOW DOES WHAT YOU DO FIT IN?
Hmmmm… The current scene over here is not that overwhelming. What the pioneers are doing caters for a niche group only. Twilight Action Girls is spearheading the current alternative scene. The market is so small for what we are into as everyone trying hard to make their mark in the same place.

Nothing is impossible. We fit in as an outcast most probably due to our style & sound. The outcast classification on us motivates us to pump harder &
march forward aggressively .

In spite of this, both of us are really contented with what we have done since we manage to leave a mark in the local scene in under 12 months.



TELL US ABOUT THE KIND OF FAN WHAT YOU DO ATTRACTS?
Indeed, building an army of fans is hard. We trust in our style & sound. The most vital issue is to vanquish the dogmatic ethics & tearing down the wall of elitism . We call it sound communism. This Holy effort can't be achieve by us alone.

EVERY GENERATION HAS A LOOK, WHAT ARE YOUR FRIENDS GETTING IN TO?
Nu Rave is the KING! Like the group Darkness, dress crap! Fashion is a combination of everything. Like dance music, it's universal. You can see hip hoppers wearing an xtra large tees with a skinny jeans.

Both of us were once fashion victim Now we are the casualties of casual wear! Jeez…that hurts.

We prefer “ OBEY “- THE DESIGN & PROPAGANDA is meaningful.

WHAT WILL THE FUTURE HOLD FOR YOU & YOUR SCENE?
The Tarots card reader says that: we-the minor arcanas will be featured in megalomania events. Some critique will say we are thinking to big or maybe have a too vivid imagination. We see that as a vision.

SSSSShhhhhhh…we have the intention to venture back into production.

HOW DO YOU MARKET YOUR MUSIC?
We started like every freshie, “ Mixtapes.”

Mixtape is the best way to spread the sound. It represents the style & personality. We're not about setting trends, we are just here to do what we like!
