Born from experiences with Balinese culture and its ethos, Warung serves as a profound inspiration for the sound and project of Aaron Hopkins and Dillon Ames. Both Aaron and Dillon decided to set aside their solo endeavors to cultivate something rich together, aiming to create an organic music identity reminiscent of family businesses in Bali.
Now in its seventh year, Warung is garnering attention from top labels and brands worldwide, including a continued partnership with the Anjunadeep label and releases with notable names like Armada, This Never Happened, Insomniac and Shen. Over the past seven years, they have achieved numerous chart positions on Beatport, including a six-month stint at #1 on the Breaks chart with their record "Illusive."
Warung recently celebrated milestones such as their first Anjunadeep Open Air event in NYC and their third year at The Explorations Festival in Albania. They have been supported and championed by numerous tastemakers, including Sasha, Korolova, Pete Tong, Bicep, Paul Van Dyk, Tiësto, Sub Focus, Armin van Buuren, Tale of Us, and Deep Dish. Their records have charted on Beatport and received airplay on BBC Radio 1, KCRW LA, NPR, and Sirius XM.
With a strong trajectory in the music industry, Warung is poised to make a lasting impact and shows no signs of slowing down. An identity continues to be built, a culture shared, and an ethos realized.


While riding mopeds through busy Bali intersections, one half of this duo was intrigued by an Indonesian word that appeared on almost every street corner – “Warung.” Meaning “small family-run business,” it quickly became apparent how intrinsic these Warungs were to the culture: self made, the lifeline of the family, and an ever-lasting legacy to carry forth. 
 
The concept of Warung couldn’t have been a better inspiration for their sound and project. These two decided to forego their solo projects and together cultivate something rich, from the ground up, with the intention of starting an organic music identity.  The development continues, and with each groove constructed they push forward into a new space, learning to blend old with new. Two years later, Warung knows their way around the studio and is ready to bring more dance-floor-ready house to a thriving scene by blending old with new.
