Dekmantel Announces First Southeast Asia Event: One-Day Bali Party on September 26
Amsterdam electronic music label and festival brand Dekmantel is making its first move into Southeast Asia. The brand has announced a one-day event on September 26 at Desa Potato Head in Seminyak, Bali — daytime programming built around listening sessions and live Q&As, followed by two separate nighttime stages once the sun goes down. Headlining is Avalon Emerson, marking her first-ever performance in Southeast Asia.

Daytime program and venue layout
Unlike a typical night-only rave, this event carves out daytime hours for listening sessions, artist Q&As and open conversations — essentially exporting the lecture-and-record-culture side of Dekmantel's long-running Amsterdam programming to Bali for the day.
Once night falls, the show splits across two spaces within the same Desa Potato Head complex: the oceanfront Potato Head Beach Club and the more underground-oriented Klymax.
