This is an Esplanade Presents programme.

It’s the electrons coursing through your veins in waves, drops and trickles, exploring the mesmerising landscapes of your mind, triggering infinite synapses that pulsate warmth, beauty and elation deep into the most intimate planes of your soul. Tomorrow’s deadlines are still ahead, impending issues will come in time. But here, in this moment, as the musical sound waves engulf you, igniting the warmth and electro-connections that bind us all, we would like to say, Knob It!Knob It! features four electro-acoustic acts from your friendly neighbours: Dian Bang, Ika, Silent Prayer and DJ Rainf.
Dian Bang is an emerging band from the Malaysian-Chinese indie music scene. Comprising a girl and two guys playing laptops, geared up guitars and keyboards, their sound revolves around a lot of electro-shoegazing and experimental pop inspired mostly by acts like Slowdive, Kraftwerk and Kitaro.Organic and natural, Ika is a female singer/songwriter with a voice that is undeniably confident and mature. Singing in both Mandarin and English, Ika effortlessly breathes new life into her acoustic collection of songs that can be enjoyed over and over.
Silent Prayer is the solo project of Keat, the former guitarist of rap metal band Silent Prayer. This young artist manages to keep things simple. Nothing is overdone and the simplicity is one of the things that make his music so brilliant.Richly textural, from fractal process music to neo-romantic electronica, harmonically complex yet awash in consonance. This is the sound of DJ Rainf, an intelligent electronica artist with a twist of indie.Four acts, one night, a million sparkles, a tri-zillion emotional electrons.

It’s time to feel again.
