While other party promoters fit the formulaic mould, the Endless Return deviants keep up their experimental antics. Their pop-ups constantly transcend the typical musical experience, adding a tinge of rebellious non-conformity much needed in a conservative city. From “rave theatre” concepts to NPC-inspired durational performances, Endless Return inject droplets of diversity with their irregular brainchildren.

Come 12 October, these promoters are birthing their last event of 2024 with a special commemoration. More than just event promoters, Endless Return also identifies as a record label and it’ll be celebrating its sophomore release with Yogyakarta’s Proto Animalia Project. Known for their performance art showcases, these masked misfits blend electronic music and Javanese elements with contemporary dance, making them the perfect addition to Endless Return’s modus operandi.

Held at The Projector at Cineleisure, the event hosts Proto Animalia Project as they perform tracks from their debut JAWIR EP, including the rhythmic chimera that is “Jumawa” fused with meditative hums and distorted kick drums. Accompanying the sonic sorcery is a fitting ensemble of supporting performers – avant-garde veteran George Chua armed with a butoh set, DJ-dance duets featuring Yetpet (Strange Weather) x Loyboy (5210PM) and turbo boyfriend (Subplot Systems) x rosytimah, as well as a returning performance from Indonesia’s Sanjonas.

Fond of the odd? Endless Return challenges the scene again with this invitation.
