Weird Genius have been making rounds on the internet this year with their track ‘Lathi’, which fits into the conventions of EDM with a twist. Fusing it with traditional Indonesian instruments, dance and even puppets, Reza Oktovian, Eka Gustiwana, and Gerald Liu have undeniably captured the attention of the global audience while paying tribute to their roots.

Taking it to Instagram earlier today (18/8) to announce the signing, they said, “Today we are happy to announce that we are a part of @astralwerksrecords family. So excited to reveal our new music through them in the future, it is a new milestone for us and Indonesian music - we are the first Asian based artists to ever be signed to the label.”
