Ep8: Sonic capers with Saiful Idris

In 2015, Saiful Idris and his band The Great Spy Experiment finally called it a day after 10 years of rocking the nation with their infectiously catchy brand of dance-punk-rock.

But that wasn't the end of the road for Saiful, who has carved a new niche for himself putting out pumping dance/electronic music that seems a far cry from what The Great Spy Experiment was about, but really, it was the next logical step in his evolution as a music fan.

In between being an educator, he created Surrender HQ and SRNDR Records, providing a platform for electronic music talent. Plus, he also had time to form a fake band that resulted in a gig he didn't quite expect!

And Saiful isn't quite done just yet - the only question is, where will he go from here?
