BEATMASTERS: ONES
DJ Ones is one of the growing army of super credible electronic artists coming out of Indonesia currently. One of the best things about a lot of the DJ’s in Indonesia is that they are a throwback to what DJ’s should be about in that they enjoy partying on both side of the decks and therefore have a true understanding of what the music needs to do and Ones is a master at that.
Ones is well known in Jogjakarta where he was resident for many years and started the cities most iconic underground electronic night called Casual Dance as well as Happy Swinging a more sporadic outdoor gathering. Last year after repeated trips to The Island of The Gods he decided to make Bali his home, and boy are we happy about that decision.
Ones is also as formidable behind the walls of a studio as he is the decks and is this weeks Secret Bali Beatmaster…
