Alvin’s music is often described as therapeutic and calming, characterised by immersive sound design. The latest release from ANGQASA, “The Calm Mgep Storm”, features spacey, reflective compositions that are ideal for quiet moments or as a backdrop to daily life.


Dé Fusion

Dé Fusion is a Malaysian post-metal band active since 2014, known for their unique fusion of ambient and post-rock elements. They debuted with a demo in 2014, followed by their first EP, “Kontramata”, in March 2019, and a collaborative split tape with the band MIM later that year. Their sound reflects the emotional depth typical of post-metal, resonating with fans who appreciate intricate compositions. They also engage in creative partnerships, such as with Desdemona Apparel, showcasing their dedication to the local music scene​.
