Malaysian nasyid group UNIC is marking 24 years in the Islamic music industry with the launch of their latest project, UNICOUSTIC PODCAST. This initiative aims to connect with fans by re-recording songs from their debut album in fresh acoustic versions.

Through this podcast, we share the early history of UNIC's establishment, stories behind the production of songs in the first album, and the experiences of joy and sorrow we went through while championing the nasyid genre in this country.

According to UNIC member Dr. Fitri Haris, the project extends beyond music, offering a podcast that delves into the stories behind the creation of their early songs and the group's experiences over the past two decades. The podcast will feature discussions with UNIC members Dr. Fitri Haris, Bazli Hazwan, and Fakhrul Radhi, sharing insights into their artistic journey since the group's inception.

The UNICOUSTIC PODCAST series comprises 10 podcast episodes and 10 acoustic tracks, supported by the Creative Content Fund Grant from the Ministry of Communications through MyCreative Ventures. UNIC Legacy produced the project, which Dr. Fitri believes has significantly impacted creative industry practitioners, particularly in strengthening the local nasyid scene.

We hope this latest offering can bring back fans' nostalgia for UNIC's early days and serve as proof of how we continue to endure and remain relevant today.
