W BALI PRESENTS SUNSET SESSION WITH BEN LA DESH

Rotterdam (NL) based Ben La Desh’s first contact with music and rhythm was during his youth in Africa. Now, years later, after teenage times spent toying with computers and exploring his taste, Ben La Desh’s sound is a tropical and humid fusion of moody disco and deep house.

This perfectionist’s first release came in 2011 on Outernational, followed by a solo EP on Sleazy Beats Black Ops entitled Stop That Groove Girl, this first EP went straight to number one in Juno’s sales chart and stayed there for a number of weeks.

Subsequently, Ben La Desh continued to rise steadily through the ranks, clocking up more fine releases on labels like Dirt Crew, Young Adults and releasing remixes for the likes of 6th Borough Project’s Borough 2 Borough LP (Delusions of Grandeur) and Urulu on Let’s Play House. Support continues to flood in for his infectious and heartwarming sounds, including tastemakers like Session Victim, The Revenge, Jimpster, Eddie C, Norm de Plume and more.

This event will take place on Saturday, 17 May from 4pm onwards at W Retreat & Spa.
