Bring the noise since 1996

Brainwashed started as an underground music zine in September 1996. Founded and published by Wenzrawk. It grew into a music and culture company rooted in Indonesia's independent music scene.

Our work combines honest strategy, day-to-day representation, live development, and an instinct for what makes our artists impossible to ignore.

Over the past thirty years, Wenzrawk has worked across music journalism, artist management, concert promotion, live entertainment, bar & venue business, record label, music museum, and creative placemaking. He spent more than 12 years at Rolling Stone Indonesia, documenting the evolution of local and international music scene while building an extensive network across national and international entertainment industry.

Three decades after its inception, Brainwashed is now powered by a small, close-knit team with solid experience across Indonesia’s music industry. It has also evolved into a legally incorporated company, building a stronger professional foundation from which to navigate the increasingly complex challenges of the music business in the years ahead.
