We’re back with our latest Night Moves episode, with Benny Salvador and the Den Souvenir collective flying in to supply the dancefloor grooves.

7 July, 7pm until 2am – Free Entrance

Curated with Bali’s discerning music heads in mind, Night Moves regularly brings together a selection of international artists and homespun talents to fire up the Desa dancefloor. This time out, New Zealand’s Benny Salvador is joined by Cakechinnea, Moodyboom and Dj Turbo from Thailand’s Den Souvenir.

Benny Salvador has been steadily growing in reputation over the past three years, releasing a stream of mesmerising EPs via his own Aunty Records label. Taking in broken beats, future jazz, deep house and much more, his infectious sound has been winning him across-the-globe admirers thanks to its imaginative themes and slick production.

The Den Souvenir crew arrive fresh from the launch of Abandon Radio – the new station they set up alongside Arcpress, Tyezine and Pots to showcase local and international DJ talent from Chiang Mai to the world. For their Night Moves debut, the trio of Cakechinnea, Moodyboom and DJ Turbo ride in to represent the collective with their tightly-woven sounds.

Resident DJs will complete the lineup, and we can’t wait to hear what this creative ensemble will bring to the Desa Potato Head.
