Matski Arbok is a graphic designer actively working at a digital agency. One of the unique people in the Jakarta Street Culture. He grew up studying art at the Jakarta Institute of Arts. Between his busy schedule, he is also a content creator and founder of the pseudonym account @nganu666, whose work raises social issues that are close to everyday life and local cultural phenomena in Indonesia.
His experience in enjoying music comes from various cassettes belonging to his father, where he feels he can enjoy sounds without having to know the meaning of the lyrics sung. He was interested in hearing the arrangement of musical instruments, be it acoustic, electric, or percussion. In the beginning, he loved music, starting from the influences of punk music, hardcore, d-beat, crossover, stoner, dub, etc. One day he was introduced to deep house and techno by his former Boss. At the beginning of the short story, he finally began to explore various other genres. Currently, he often plays minimal house, tech-house, acid, and tribal.
