Abstract

This study aims to describe the analysis of Jujuk Eksa’s techniques in applying multitrack mixing to dangdut music, emphasizing the genre's distinctive use of the kendang drum. Jujuk Eksa is a sound engineer who specializes in music production across various genres, including dangdut, keroncong, congdut, and Javanese langgam. His extensive experience includes collaborations with renowned national musicians such as Didi Kempot, Nurhana, and Soleh Akbar. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, integrating a musicological approach to examine dangdut music and a technological approach to analyze mixing techniques. The study involves in-depth interviews with Jujuk Eksa, direct observation of the mixing process, and documentation analysis of mixing data. The findings reveal three key aspects: (1) Preparation, which includes ensuring data feasibility, determining the appropriate formula, and considering musical arrangements; (2) Treatment, comprising essential mixing procedures such as setting levels, equalization, dynamic processing, reverb effects, harmonic enhancement, and pre-mastering, which encompasses mixdown and normalization as the finalization process; and (3) Mixing Focus, highlighting the critical role of leveling and panning in the multitrack mixing process of dangdut music. Overall, this research underscores the significance of precise mixing techniques in preserving the unique characteristics of dangdut music production.

Abstract

This research examines the evolution of Indonesian traditional music in response to the influence of globalization and technological advancements, with a focus on the emergence of the Congdut genre as a result of the hybridization between dangdut and keroncong, initiated by Jujuk Eksa. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, incorporating observation, interviews, and documentation techniques at JX Studio, Demak, this study analyzes the creative process, musical structure, and artistic philosophy behind the creation of Congdut. The survey results show that Congdut is not just a mixture of two genres, but a form of third space that combines the rhythmic energy of dangdut with the harmonious complexity of keroncong, thereby creating a dynamic and relevant new cultural identity. Congdut acts as a revitalization strategy to overcome the stagnation of keroncong music while cleaning the image of dangdut from social stigma. Its socio-cultural implications reflect the ability of traditional music to adapt and survive in the modern era through a creative dialogue between tradition and modernity. The sustainability of Congdut depends on its adoption by the younger generation, integration into digital platforms, and the potential for integration into music education.
