BUTO BAYANG Named Itself After an Indonesian Ghost. Now Bandung and Hanoi Are Getting Booked in Berlin.
A Berlin party turned label turned two-person mission, run by a half-Indonesian producer and a Vietnamese-German DJ, put Bandung's Ambrukt and Amsterdam's TWIENA on the same compilation as Hong Kong's Shanda. The founders spent 2025 touring Bali, Bangkok and Hanoi and came back with a complaint: European DJs keep flying to Southeast Asia to play, and the region's own DJs still can't get a booking back.
