(FREE ADMISSION)  Aside from Street Workout, Skate Board, Parkour and BMX. Independent & Art Market 4.0 will feature our own home grown local talent to perform and entertain you guys.   

 Keyin the first female Freestyle Saxophonist staying and performing in JB and around Malaysia. Keyin started playing the saxophone back in 2001 when she was in the SIGS (Sultan Ibrahim Girls School) Marching Band. It was hard for her because music was totally new to her back then. As she progressed in her practice, she slowly evolved to be a freestyle saxophonist. And today, all her hard work has paid off, which is proved by being crowned as the Female Champion of "Show Off Talent Search 2015" season 3. 

 Mirul, the front-man of Citizen 21 from Pontian, Johor. Former owner of Red Ink Studio and just recently open up Rumah Kayu. A jamming studio focus on music development in his area. Mirul had been involve with Independent & Art Market since the 1st edition (with citizen 21) and kept on supporting this event. Catch him live performing acoustic live.

Ahmad Pintu, a lot can be said about this mystery man but no one can confirm it. Some may argue that he sounds like Ramli Sarip and some may say he sound more like Irwan Falls but I can assure you that Ahmad Pintu sounds like himself. This musician from Gelang Patah has his own album "Kita Serumpun". Buy it if you had the change.

Izzat Hassan, a gem that has yet to be discovered by the mainstream music industry. He had joined the previous edition of Independent & Art Market 3 in Laman Seni Kluang last year and continue on to work with Orbit Bunyi in hosting JB Singer Song-writer night. You can check out his latest song "Salahku" by Izzat Hassan in youtube and judge his talent for yourself.

 The Coffeemates are a six-piece group from Johor Bahru that, in their own words, are “taking Nusantara sound to [the] otherside of modern fusion music”. The sextet takes traditional instruments such as the gambus and transplants them into modernity, influenced by contemporary trends in world music and fusion.

CRAZY GRIZZLY is a 5 pieces band based in Pasir Gudang, Johor, MY.

Formed in late 2012, the band defines its music as a slam of progressive, power pop, punk rock and alternative noise. Their first single from 2014's EP, "A.A!" made its debut on one of major radio station; Suria.fm and successfully ranked first for three weeks in a row.

Catch them performing acoustic live at Independent & Art Market 4.0

 Dickies Tale front man Syahmi will be performing acoustic for  this event. He has been a supporter for Independent & Art Market since the 1st edition at Embrace Hall Johor Bahru. He's also the front man for UpToSixteen that plays their own music. A mix of Punk Rock and Reggae.  

Puisi Vs Poetry 

Poetry was introduced during the second edition of Independent & Art Market. Since then there has been a lot of events that featured Poetry as part of their event content. Kunang Kunang IV last year was the first event De'Press Art was invited to co-organize and manage poetry content for the event. Then there was Poetry Palooza, Poetic Vibes with Johor Society of Performing Arts and recently during Edible Festival in Medini. Poetry has a special place with the crowd in Johor Bahru and will continue to flourish as there are many local talent emerging requesting a stage to express their feelings.

#OfflineMarket

Hola!!

Apa bikin untuk permulaan tahun baru 2018 ini? Pasti senarai yang baik baik terus dipanjangkan, bukan? De’Press Art juga tidak ketinggalan membuat senarai acara yang menarik sepanjang tahun ini bagi memeriahkan hari-hari anda semua. Baiklah, sebagai pembuka tirai tahun baru ini kami ada berita baik buat semua!! Hooray!! Permulaan bulan di tahun baru ini kami ingin mengajak anda semua untuk sama-sama menjayakan dan memeriahkan acara #OfflineMarket. Acara ini bakal berlangsung pada 27 Januari 2018 bermula seawal 10 pagi sehingga 7 malam di Johor International Youth HAB.

Apa sebenarnya acara #OfflineMarket ini? Pasti ramai yang tertanya-tanya, kan? #OfflineMarket merupakan acara yang menghimpunkan para peniaga online untuk menjual barangan mereka secara offline. Dalam erti kata lain, #OfflineMarket ingin memberi peluang dan platform buat vendor yang hampir kesemuanya tiada kedai dan hanya menjalankan perniagaan secara online untuk memperkenalkan jenama mereka. Acara ini juga diadakan bertujuan untuk mewujudkan sifat kepercayaan diantara peniaga dan pembeli, selain daripada untuk memperkenalkan jenama mereka. Bak kata peribahasa Jepun, Kepercayaan: Reputasi seribu tahun mungkin akan terjejas oleh kelakuan satu jam. Pheww!! Amacam? Menarik, kan?

Tunggu dulu, ada lagi yang lebih menarik. Apa lagi yang ada di #OfflineMarket ini? Sepanjang acara #OfflineMarket ini berlangsung nanti, para pengunjung bakal dihiburkan dengan Singer Songwriter Showcase disamping dapat menikmati makanan yang enak-enak daripada Food Truck yang disediakan. Alangkah indahnya dunia dapat bersantai melayan lagu sambil makan-makan, kan? Lagi menarik para pengunjung dapat belajar dan cuci mata melihat make-up tutorials. Pengunjung juga boleh membeli-belah barangan menarik seperti barangan kecantikan, minyak wangi, barangan pre-loved dan pelbagai jenis shawl yang menarik dan terkini.

Menarik, kan? Apa tunggu lagi? Jangan lupa datang beramai-ramai ke acara #OfflineMarket ini nanti!

#2018HarbourCountdown after event

Permulaan De'Press Art pada tahun 2017 adalah dengan Independent & Art Market, diikuti pula Independent & Art Market #2 , Poetry Palooza, Kunang Kunang IV, Independent & Art Market #3, JBWRF, Poetic Vibes dan seterusnya #2018HarbourCountdown. 

Tahun 2017 sememangnya merupakan tahun yang penuh kenangan buat De'Press Art. Kami berharap dapat meneruskan momentum ini dalam usaha kami untuk menjadikan Johor Bahru sebagai pusat seni dan budaya yang selaras dengan pembangunan 5 bintang di sekitar bandaraya ini. 

Acara 2018 Harbour Countdown adalah temasya terbesar yang pernah dikelolakan oleh De'Press Art dan menjadi satu kenangan paling manis sepanjang tahun 2017. 

Saya ingin mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada Johor Bahru Food Truck Association #JBFTA iaitu saudara Jamri yang telah memberikan kepercayaan kepada kami yang kecil ini untuk mengelola temasya yang besar. Saya juga ingin merakamkan ucapan terima kasih kepada semua crew yang terlibat untuk menjayakan temasya ini. Maman, Miena, Mimie, Nora, Sofia, Dilman, Cabi, Fath dan Mamayo.
