Love as Punishment is a home-listening/slow dancing project from Medan, Indonesia made of Arick Ahong and Ais Marciano. They adore and reimagine tracks by Ministry Of, Kinder Bloomen, Texpack, Rub of Rub, and Subsonic Eye as a tribute to Asia’s Big Energy movement by Loide Records. Reshaping them into something tender, strange, and entirely their own. Love as Punishment version. A kind of emotional architecture, built with warmth, reshaped with care. Fan-made versions.

Play The Hits is also a soft introduction of what’s coming from Home-listening Plaza, a musical movement that showcases the now sounds and sweet noises from Medan’s subtler corner.
