The long-awaited conversation with Indra7 finally took place—sparked by the release of his latest EP, “Love Song,” in December 2024. The title alone raised eyebrows. Why “Love Song”? It didn’t sound like a typical Indra7 track title.
Indra explained the origins. He had created early versions of the track three years ago.
With a habit of storing unreleased material, he drew from this archive for a fresh Acid Breaks production.
While it may seem spontaneous, this was a return after a two-year gap since his last EP in 2022.

Known for releasing music to coincide with Record Store Day, Indra felt it was time to end his release hiatus.
He partnered with SALA Records, yet even when the production was done, the track had no title.
That changed due to a vocal sample. The lyrics conveyed emotional turmoil—melancholic, vulnerable.
Pressed for time by the distributor’s upload deadline, Indra chose “Love Song” as the final title, letting the vocal sample guide the identity of the track.

But that wasn’t the end of the creative process.
To accompany the main version, Indra crafted a Dark Disco take and invited two SALA Records artists—Reno Renatama and Masguna—to remix the track.
All versions now sit on the EP, giving it a dynamic, genre-expanding shape.

Reworking Sound, Keeping Identity of Indra7
Indra7’s ability to maintain thematic consistency while exploring contrasting styles is impressive.
Though Acid Breaks and Dark Disco differ in texture, both versions of “Love Song” carry his unmistakable sonic fingerprint.
Why a Dark Disco version? According to Indra, the Acid Breaks approach didn’t match the feel of some other saved sound sketches.

Instead of forcing those sounds into the Acid mold, he opted to explore new territory. Techno felt off. House didn’t resonate with him.
But the more he experimented, the clearer it became—Dark Disco matched the emotion and structure.
This process shows that sound exploration is critical for producers striving for musical coherence.
Reno helped refine the final sound. Their collaboration ensured the Dark Disco version remained true to Indra’s vision while offering a distinct listening experience.

Creative Freedom for Remixers
Indra gave Reno and Masguna full creative control over their remixes.
He believed his interference would dilute their personal touch, and he wanted the remixes to reflect their styles—not his.
So far, he’s thrilled with the result. The remixes complement the EP without compromising its identity.
They feel fresh yet familiar, faithful yet interpretative.

Looking Ahead: Remix Projects and Dekonstruksi Part 2
What’s next for Indra7? He’s currently working on several remix projects, including reinterpretations of tracks by The Sastro and Teenage Deathstar.
These will contribute to Dekonstruksi Part 2, a follow-up to his earlier remix collection, planned for release on Record Store Day 2026.
Meanwhile, he’s also seeking the right label to release original material. Two have responded with interest, and discussions are ongoing.
