Staged every Friday in the Beach Club it brings together artists, musicians, poets, dancers, orchestras, and collectives from across the islands - moving fluidly from traditional to contemporary, and from past to present to future.

Line-up Profiles
Rafi Muhammad
Rafi Muhammad is a Jakarta-born drummer and musician who has been playing since the age of seven. Rooted in jazz and deeply conversant with the wider spectrum of contemporary music, he has recorded and collaborated with artists ranging from Indra Lesmana and Tompi to Reza Artamevia. Through his latest project Her Coat of Arm, Rafi continues to push the boundaries between groove and composition, between the familiar and the unexplored.
Ketut Lanus
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.
Marvel
Marvel began his musical journey via Jakarta's Anja project in 2017, shaped by a love of disco, house, funk, and fusion. Now Bali-based and a Potato Head resident DJ, he digs through dusty record markets to resurrect long-lost sounds, with a firm belief that dancefloors should be safe and welcoming for all.
