Together they deliver a dramatic audio representation of Bali‟s most revered lifestyle destination, with effortlessly grooving, yet soothing, sounds gathered from across time and zone. It's an exquisite selection, skilfully melding Balearic, Bossa, Dreamy, Jazzy, Chillout and Modern Disco into a defining statement of KU DE TA's musical style and atmosphere - tranquil, energetic and soulful.
