'Licik' is one of Indonesia's best kept secrets. This nine-minute track has such a unique, haunting energy, and the way it uses the vocoder is like nothing I’ve heard before. Written and recorded on the spot in 1981, it’s a perfect example of raw, spontaneous creativity, and it really showcases some of the best music Indonesia has to offer.

Rising Southeast Asian DJ DITA curates us a playlist of tracks from Indonesia that everyone needs to hear.
