Savour WA in Bali

A Gastronome’s Journey sees celebrity chef Kate Lamont and John Jens share their passion for good food and premium wine, here at Karma Kandara from 12-14 February. This very special weekend begins on Friday as John Jens previews the weekend’s happenings over a wine or two – Temple Bar 6.00pm.

On Saturday at 11.00am, Kate offers her insider’s knowledge on the secrets behind simple food preparation and presentation, adding some hosting tips for good measure – titled “Cooks & Good Looks.”

If food is not your passion, then join John Jens on Saturday at noon in Veritas for a Master Class on “5 Cullen Cabernet Merlots – The Greatest of the Recent Years,”….ah, what an idyllic way to start the day!

Valentine’s Day is about romance and bubbly – so what better way to usher it in, than with a tasting of the precocious new Sparkling wines from Australia against the classic stars from France – “A Sparkling Sunday” – our tasting begins at Nammos Beach Club from 11.30am on Sunday.

Dust off the sand and be swept away by the sunset – all of this is just the entree to the main event – “A Night of Excellence in Pairing” – where you will be treated to a medley of Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnays & Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignons, impeccably paired with a Kate Lamont inspired dinner at ‘di Mare’ Restaurant from 7.30pm

How wonderfully decadent!

(All events are limited numbers & subject to availability – prices on request.)

A Gastronomic Journey will be from 12th to 14th February, and includes all the activities plus 3 nights accommodation in a Luxury Pool Villa at Karma Kandara, complimentary infrared sauna and beach massage plus a delicious breakfast each day for only US$1188++ (based on twin share). The Pairing Dinner only is US$188++ per person.

A concept visualized by our leader, John Spence – the Xenia Initiative is a programme designed
to attract a selection of fascinating and diverse artists to spend time with us here, at Karma Kandara.

During their time here, our aim is to provide an environment conducive to their particular talents,
allowing guests to derive enjoyment and interest from interacting with them. They will range from musicians to painters to spiritual healers – all available at the resort to Intermingle and exchange stories & experiences – thus, sharing their world with ours.

Our first “artist in residence” is Frida Hyvönen, a Swedish singer-songwriter who grew up in Robertsfors, a small place just outside Umeå in the north of Sweden. In 2005, Frida received the 2005 Stockholmspriset (”The Stockholm Prize”) by the Swedish publication Nöjesguiden for her debut album. Since this time, she has gone on to also win the Swedish newspaper ‘Dagens Nyheters’ prestigeous culture prize in 2009.

Frida has been touring Scandinavia, Europe and the US with her piano since 2004. In 2006 she toured the UK with José González, and in the summer of 2006, she toured the US with fellow Swedish artist Jens Lekman. And, she counts Benny Andersson of ABBA as one of her biggest fans.

Enjoy the evening with our compliments!

It may have rained on Saturday, but that did not dampen our party spirits!

Nammos Beach will play host to two amazing musical talents – Russell Small & Jon Sa Trinxa. What better way to spend the day, than endlessly dancing in the sand to fabulous music!

Russell Small, one half of the internationally acclaimed “The Freemasons” will be guest DJ at Nammos Beach. Recognised as one of the most Grammy nominated re-mixers of his generation, Russell has worked with Beyonce, Kylie Minogue and more recently on Whitney Houston’s newest release “Million Dollar Bill” (Aug 2009). Originally from Brighton, England, he has been written up as the “UK’s Biggest Funky House DJ”!

On the other side of the tracks will be Jon Sa Trinxa from the chilled out beaches of Ibiza. He will quickly tell you that life wasn’t always this way. After a run of disappointments while travelling, he found himself snoozing on the beach near a bar where a DJ had not shown up for work. Seizing the opportunity, he jumped behind the discs and the rest as they say, is history – He has been a resident there now, since 1994, so he knows a chilled-out beach tune.

So, bring your best beach party vibe as the music will play from 3pm onwards……

FREEMASONS

“Uninvited”, their 4th hit single featuring the beautiful voice of Bailey Tzuke, had been a huge success in the UK and international releases were piling up. Their remix of Beyonce and Shakira’s “Beautiful Liar” had held the song at the UK’s No 1 spot for weeks some 8 months previous. Their most recent Kelly Rowland remix was looking set to be a top 10 UK hit and already becoming a massive radio record.

They had travelled the world to play some amazing parties and to top it all off – their first Co-Production for another artist was receiving rapturous reviews. The cherry on the icing of the cake is that the artist in question is in fact, Kylie Minogue.

Freemasons are infamously named after the Brighton pub quite near to the studio where the duo started productions nearly 3 years ago. They first came to clubland’s’ attention with the much loved, Jackie Moore sampling – “Love On My Mind” which quickly made the quantum leap from UK Dancefloors, into the charts and the Freemasons were off to a running start.

A second top 20 hit “Watchin” also featuring the extremely talented Amanda Wilson cemented their name with clubbers and industry alike and as the remixes started to flood in, it soon became apparent to everyone that the Freemasons were definitely much more than a one trick pony.

Achievements:
* 5 Consecutive UK Hit Singles
* Debut album ‘Unmixed’ has gone silver
* UK’s most successful (Grammy Nominated) Remixers
