Archipelago Ensemble: Sunset Performance

BABON is Indonesia in conversation with the world. Rooted in Keroncong and Dangdut, music that carries the memory of streets and ceremony, they wander freely. Spaghetti Western, Afro-Funk, Middle-Eastern devotion, Latin heat. Instrumental and restless. Three musicians listening to the world, answering back in their own voice.

I Ketut Lanus, known as Nang Lanus, is a Balinese composer and musician whose work lives at the heart of tradition. As the founder of an arts studio dedicated to preserving Indonesia’s cultural heritage, he composed the gamelan music for the Galang Bulan Dance. For Nang Lanus, gamelan is not an artifact. It breathes, evolves, and carries the spirit of Bali from one generation to the next.

Daffabedamned is a Jakarta-born, Bali-based DJ and producer who has spent over a decade exploring diverse sounds and learning the flow of different dancefloors. Resident DJ at Potato Head Beach Club and member of the island's notorious party collective PNNY, his open-format approach moves freely through groovy acid-centric house, sleazy disco, funky breaks, soulful oddities, and unexpected curveballs. Guided by instinct, he plays whatever feels right at any given moment.
