Bapari is a musical force known for their heady dance tracks, cheekily disruptive pop edits, and hard-hitting DJ sets that blend techno, jungle, garage, club, hip-hop, and IDM in unexpected ways. A Grammy-award winning producer for their work on Eusexua by FKA twig's, Bapari pushes experimentation within electronic music to the edge, exploring all outcomes, from unique underground club tracks to evocative sonic landscapes. Bapari’s most recent project “Evermore” (Halcyon Veil, 2025) saw them pick up the mic and live guitar, featuring Ari’s hauntingly original vocals for the first time while exploring ‘90s influences of shoegaze, trip hop, and R&B.

Born in Los Angeles to Haitian immigrants, Bapari found their way into music as a DJ in downtown LA’s underground party scene in the mid-2010s. Since then, They have released four EPs; collaborated with FKA Twigs, Eartheater, Kelsey Lu, Lolahol, and more; opened for Steve Lacy in Australia and Japan; and toured extensively as a DJ in North America, Europe, and Asia. Their work has been featured in DJ mag, Mixmag, Highsnobiety, Interview, Flaunt, Dancewax, and Resident Advisor, which named their 2021 track “Daybreak” a best-of-the-year.

On record

Every one of these resolves on Discogs; the ones that do not are not printed. What Discogs files them under is not printed either — its label column carries mix series as if they were imprints.

The nights, the rooms and the bills are the listings themselves. The biography, the labels and the photograph are Resident Advisor's. The records are Discogs'. Nothing on this page was written for it.
