Spirit ࿓ Batu & Bake ࿓ Sub Club ࿓ 17.03.23 ࿓ 11-4am

“Spirit is a new dance I’m hosting at the Sub Club starting on March 17th, with a handful of dates dotted throughout the year. I’m very excited.

I’ve grown up around many forms of Spiritualism. Regardless of how they’ve made me feel, it has always been quite clear that Sharing is at the heart of it all, whether it’s food, ideas, stories or music; something in between it all makes you feel more significant than yourself. In that spirit, I’ll be inviting a guest to share the evening with.

DJing as a process is an interesting, important and vulnerable one to me. After a decade of doing this, I’ve learned a lot about it, myself and how I relate to others. I’ve looked to this world, perhaps too heavily, as a means to give me a sense of purpose, belonging and community – I mean, it literally changed my life as a young teenager going to the art school and listening to the early developments of Dubstep on a massive sound system. Since then, I’ve gone through many phases of growing up and come to understand just how scary it is to be visible as a human and how much I need DJing as a practice to help me face that fear and stand up straighter in myself – in some sense, it’s all I’ve got.

I hope you feel excited about music at the moment and also feel excited about the first guest, who needs no introduction – Batu. He’s at the centre of a generation that looks at tunes with no boundaries and faces the dancefloor with confidence that consistently finds the most exciting energy. He’s really inspiring, and I can’t believe this is only the second time we have played together; we’ve been friends since we were teenagers!

I’d love to see you there and to share the night together, but in the words of my good friend Nevan, “It’d be great to have you, no worries if not!”. “ – Bake
