Rainbow Disco Club: Bali 2024

#### DJ Harvey will be residing at Klymax Discotheque, Potato Head this May, commencing an eagerly awaited month-long residency.

The DJ, producer and global scene provocateur will take the controls every Saturday night for four consecutive weekends from 11 May to 1 June, performing all night long for each show.

While [Harvey](https://seminyak.potatohead.co/journal/potato-head-presents-dj-harvey-at-sunset-park) is no stranger to DJ residencies — his pivotal Ministry of Sound sessions and Mercury Rising at Pikes Ibiza are the stuff of legend — this marks the first time he’s found a musical home in a venue he helped create from ground to sound. Opened with an all-night session by Harvey himself on [New Year's Eve](https://seminyak.potatohead.co/journal/NYE-2023), all aspects of [Klymax](https://klymax.co/) are designed to Harvey’s specifications, with the seasoned selector pouring every ounce of a lifetime’s knowledge of [nightclub](https://seminyak.potatohead.co/journal/klymax-discotheque) experience into building the ideal space for himself, the crowd and the guest DJs he invites to play there. Every element is perfectly pitched to translate Harvey’s irrepressible dancefloor sonics exactly as he envisions, from the DJ booth and sound system to the lighting and acoustics and, as he likes to say with a smile, down to the bathrooms. 

Full lineup coming soon.

DJ Harvey residency at Klymax Discotheque

From the halcyon days of disco at Paradise Garage to techno’s formative years at The Music Institute and the blossoming of house music at The Warehouse. Dance music has always needed the right space from where its gravitational rhythms resonate with the audience. 

Inspired by these iconic venues and the sounds and communities they helped to nurture and grow, we built **[Klymax Discotheque](https://www.klymax.co/)** — a purpose-built nightclub dedicated to the art of dance.

![JOURNAL_COVER_1080x1080.jpg](https://cdn.potatohead.co/JOURNAL_COVER_1080x1080_0a6dbcfc69.jpg)

The venue was designed from ground to sound in partnership with our longtime friend, DJ Harvey, with the legendary scene provocateur channelling every ounce of his 40-plus years of experience acquired operating at the pinnacle of the dance underground to help bring the project to life. Featuring state-of-the-art sound, design and lighting, every element has been carefully considered to enhance the dancefloor experience. 

At Klymax, the sound comes first, with the system custom-built to Harvey’s specifications by revered audio engineer, George Stavro. Rich, finely poised and immaculately detailed, the system creates a vast sonic sweet spot, presenting the music exactly as it was intended to be heard, with every nuance intact.

![DPH_2024.01.31_KLYMAX_PRESS SHOT_5.jpg](https://cdn.potatohead.co/DPH_2024_01_31_KLYMAX_PRESS_SHOT_5_edc32d2e21.jpg)

And the attention to sound isn’t limited to the speaker stacks and amplifiers. The club's interior – designed with Potato Head Design Studio in collaboration with Dutch architects OMA – is acoustically treated to tame errant frequencies, featuring a sprung dancefloor to help add bounce to the moves of marathon dancers. 

You might be wondering what music you’re likely to hear emanating from the Klymax speakers. In keeping with the space itself, the curation has been meticulously thought out, with a hand-chosen selection of revered international talents ushered in to perform alongside local residents. 

![HERO IMAGE_COVER_1920x1080.jpg](https://cdn.potatohead.co/HERO_IMAGE_COVER_1920x1080_6453f66eb8.jpg)

The doors to Klymax are open now, and everyone is welcome inside.

Klymax Discotheque


[Dome](https://seminyak.potatohead.co/feast/dome) is not just a regular restaurant or wine bar. It's a vibrant hub where culinary arts, creativity, and people come together.
 
Dome celebrates the power of community. Whether you're sharing some of our dishes, unleashing your creativity, browsing through our selection of books, or simply catching up with friends and enjoying the music, you're part of something bigger. It’s a place to connect, mingle, and share experiences with like-minded individuals. It’s all about bringing people together and creating a sense of belonging.

![Dome - comunity.jpg](https://cdn.potatohead.co/Dome_comunity_8065e00427.jpg)

Here, we're on a mission to elevate [sustainability](https://seminyak.potatohead.co/journal/honeycombers-bali-and-potato-head) in all aspects of our [culinary journey](https://seminyak.potatohead.co/feast). After reducing landfill waste throughout our Desa, we’re taking things a step further by integrating regeneration into our food supply chain. It's not just about food – it's a celebration of culture and our connection to the land. The unveiling of Dome represents an exciting step on this ongoing journey.
 
Our food menu is curated by Chef Diego Recarte – highlighting the minimal intervention of local ingredients with dishes that promote both personal health and the well-being of our environment. Our wine list, meanwhile, has been chosen by Head Sommelier Minyoung Ryu, featuring tempting natural wines that pair perfectly with our dishes, appealing to both seasoned wine enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

![Dome - chef.jpg](https://cdn.potatohead.co/Dome_chef_891f8caad3.jpg)

So, what exactly is natural wine? Crafted with minimal interference, natural wine avoids additives or removal of elements – embracing naturally occurring ingredients and making use of whatever conditions the specific region and year provide. Grapes come from smaller-scale farming, usually following organic or biodynamic practices. This environmentally respectful winemaking uses living organisms instead of pesticides, resulting in unique colours, tastes, and appearances.

![Dome - Journal - Natural Wines - web.jpg](https://cdn.potatohead.co/Dome_Journal_Natural_Wines_web_c59aeeb287.jpg)

Taking inspiration from Buckminster Fuller's home – and brought to life by [Potato Head Design Studio](https://seminyak.potatohead.co/sleep) in collaboration with OMA – the venue’s unique dome shape and retro-futurist interior are designed to foster interaction and create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
 
And, just as the food, drink, architecture and design aspects have been meticulously curated, the music at Dome – featuring a vinyl-only DJ set up and vintage JBL speaker stacks – combines a hand-picked selection of rare, archival and cutting-edge contemporary sounds carefully chosen to enhance the carefree mood. Simply put, Dome is a perfect place for connecting with others and sharing stories.

![Dome - Journal - Records - web.jpg](https://cdn.potatohead.co/Dome_Journal_Records_web_ae9e320b70.jpg)
![Dome - Journal - Kitchen - web.jpg](https://cdn.potatohead.co/Dome_Journal_Kitchen_web_0a1bffe536.jpg)

Stay tuned for upcoming community experiences coming to Dome very soon.

Dome: Natural Food and Wine from Spaceship Earth

Did you know that, within the first 25 years of its life, a single mangrove tree can remove 0.3 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere? That’s 2-4 times more than mature rainforest trees and is equivalent to the emissions released by a petrol car being driven for around 1180 km. 

Our mangrove conservation project is a fun way to contribute to making our world better. Join us as we take a canoe ride through the mangroves, waste-picking as we go, before stopping to plant mangrove saplings or harvest the seeds that will grow into pollution-fighting adult trees.

Registration fee: IDR 500,000 nett per person. Participants must be aged 12+. Booking is required one day prior.

Meeting Point at Jamu Bar, Studios Lobby.

We’re excited to share our new line of vacation wear inspired by everyday life at Desa Potato Head.

The Potato Head collection combines Balinese craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic, featuring loving nods to the music and culture that shape our island experience while embracing eco-conscious production practices.

We drew inspiration from our diverse range of influences, piecing together visual and stylistic fragments into an eclectic selection that brings the essence of our Desa life to the world – from favourite record sleeves to graphic elements from Bali’s Homegrown zine, playful hospitality references to the island’s ubiquitous reptile, the gecko.

And, as with everything we do at Potato Head, we worked hard to find [sustainable](https://seminyak.potatohead.co/regenerate) solutions when bringing this collection to life. Whether it’s our Eco Vero™ shirts and sarongs or our recycled nylon shorts, hand-woven and hand-dyed beach pants and anorak or our hand-crafted silver jewellery, the range utilises recycled and environmentally friendly materials throughout.

The latest product release follows previous Potato Head collaborations with Stüssy, Peggy Gou, Wacko Maria, Dover Street Market and Neighborhood.

The full collection is available to browse and purchase in the Circle Store and online at [Escalier](https://escalier-store.com/collections/potato-head)
