BENEDEK Live

From the palm-fringed haze of Los Angeles to the humid pulse of Bangkok, BENEDEK arrives like a time traveller with a record bag. His sets are less performance, more excavation – acid-flecked funk, humid house, sun-bleached electro and offbeat Latin freestyle stitched together with drum machines, shimmering guitar and the kind of crate-digger instinct you can’t fake. Think midnight car rides with the windows down, but stranger. He’s shared credits with Dam-Funk, Delroy Edwards and Steve Arrington, though name-dropping misses the point – BENEDEK plays like someone who’s lived inside the groove too long to care who’s watching. Joining him, Shanghai’s Endy Chen brings his own quiet obsession. Founder of Groove Bunny Records, he spins rare Asian cuts, jazz-funk oddities and city pop gems with the intimacy of a mixtape made for one. May 24. B300 at the door. BEAMCUBE, 9pm onwards
