R.I.P: Aksara Records, welcome Raksasa Records.

Well, it’s been a long time coming. Jakarta’s most “prestige” indie label, Aksara Records officially shut down their business yesterday (18/09). The news itself wasn’t unpredicted regarding rumors about bankruptcy and hiring Aldo Sianturi (previously, THAT guy who made lame but hot selling compilation universal CDs) earlier this year.

The status of their artists roster are unknown at this time except for SORE and White Shoes and the Couples Company who will be joining virtually the same company men, David Tarigan and Aldo Sianturi in Raksasa Records.
