No business plan in the world could do this thing justice.

It is a presentation for a music label under The Raw Temple organisation — a 50-staff-strong outfit that is honoured to be Indonesia's healthiest restaurant, to have landed Bali's Property Deal of the Year 2026, and, of course, to produce block-rockin' beats while the rest of the world sleeps.

It may seem mad from the outside. But you should see what we see, and know it's all a guarantee.

For we may have the best lyrics this side of Motown, but failure is just not in our vocabulary.

So, should you have the intuition that you may be the Angel we are calling for, then the best way to know if we are the right fit for one another is coming on through to Reel Raw Records.

History is calling…

Market Opportunity

Music and society's acceleration towards fakeness is already causing a large niche to demand authenticity. By anchoring in vinyl, bricks-and-mortar destinations for community, as well as producing the next generation of music culture from our asset-rich analogue studios, we will have positioned ourselves for success, across multiple domains. Top to bottom. Inside and out.

RRR will become synonymous with the Reelest of the Real. A truly priceless evaluation.

The Global Tailwind

  • Global vinyl market — $1.9B (2024) → $3.5B (2033), 6.8% CAGR (Research and Markets, 2024)
  • Asia-Pacific — Largest regional share at ~34% (2025) (IMARC, 2025)

The Indonesia Market

  • Music, radio & podcasts — → $482M by 2029, 3.8% CAGR (vs 2.4% global) (PwC GEM Outlook 2025–2029)
  • Live music — $30M (2020) → $157M (2024) → $173M (2029) (PwC GEM 2025–2029)
  • Offline formats — 54% of consumer entertainment spend (PwC GEM 2025–2029)

The Experiential Layer

  • Music-tourism market — ~$160M; Bali & Bandung core hubs (Ken Research, 2026)
  • Anchor events — Java Jazz (~200K), We The Fest (Ken Research, 2026)

The Gap — Where RRR Win

  • Best-in-class analog studio — RRR sets the benchmark in a 270M+ population market (RRR assessment)
  • Recorded music is small & streaming-thin — ~$82M (2022), <1% of population pays for streaming (Music Ally, 2024)
  • The money is in experience — Indonesian operators earn from performance & merchandise, not streaming (Music Ally, 2024)

The timing, the market, the culture — the advantage is now.

The Ecosystem Loop

Make RRR the go-to analog label for SE Asian music

07

Artist Development

The Master Surgeon — Standard Bearer

Decades in the making: the release of a hotly anticipated album from The Master Surgeon. The label's standard bearer — aiming for Platinum, and setting the benchmark for every RRR production that follows.

Jangar — Local — Indonesian Elite

Jangar (psychedelic rock), managed by Gede Robi, is the first artist collaboration — an example of RRR's elite Indonesian music connections. Local musicians record at RRR and are mastered by The Master Surgeon for a premier final product. Indonesia's great artists, with their ears to the ground, are already clamouring to be a part of this venture.

Elf The Transporter — International — Global Underground

Elf The Transporter exemplifies international collaboration — brought in via KITAS with connections to global underground scenes. International artists are either identified and signed directly by RRR, or supported through music retreats and recording packages. The aim: raise the Indonesian music-fan experience with ground-breaking performances that blow the competition out of the water.

Pipeline & Support

  • 12+ local acts — Confirmed Indonesian indie inquiries
  • 4+ international acts — Seeking retreat + recording packages
  • Mastering by The Master Surgeon — For a premier final product
  • KITAS sponsorship — Plus global underground connections

Elite local talent. Global underground.
One analog standard.

08

Marketing Strategy

5D Chess. Leverage the wider Raw Temple team, HQ suite, and in-house expertise for market domination — a marketing apparatus no independent label in the region can match.

The Playbook

  • Social ($30K) — IG / TikTok / YouTube: studio diaries, artist spotlights, vinyl unboxings
  • Podcast — “Reel Raw Talks”: weekly conversations with artists & producers
  • A-List Producer Collab — The Master Surgeon enters the world stage with a cross-collaboration banger
  • Guerilla Campaign — Operation to graffiti-tag 'RRR' in every Indonesian skatepark
  • Worldwide Grassroots — Activate artist agents in UK, NY & Melbourne underground scenes

Unfair Advantages

  • Raw Temple HQ suite — Full team & expertise behind every campaign
  • Owned media — Podcast, socials & studio content engine
  • Global agents — Boots on the ground in UK, NY & Melbourne
  • Guerilla culture — Street-level brand saturation across Indonesia

Leverage the whole Raw Temple machine for market domination.
