Gabber Modus Operandi

Gabber Modus Operandi is an accidental project founded by Kasimyn and Ican Harem. Born out of a shared obsession for jathilan, gabber, dangdut koplo, Chicago footwork, grindcore and noise music, Gabber Modus Operandi distill an extensive range of influences into high-octane productions.

The hard, fast, abrasive club sounds they have been making since 2018 owe a lot to both Indonesia’s heavy metal obsession and gamelan –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ percussion-based, traditional ritualistic music that plays a similarly integral part in the country’s culture.

Unbound by the lineage of Western club music, Gabber Modus Operandi are making hybridised, uncategorisable sounds largely incomparable to anything else in the scene.
