their own biography
the whole biography
Luis Baquero, better known as Bakke, is a Colombian-American DJ and curator whose relationship with music runs deep—rooted in a lifelong obsession with rhythm, synths, and sonic storytelling. Raised in South Florida, his journey began at age 15 after early on being drawn to the rhythmic intricacy and analog warmth of 80s new wave, 90s hip hop and alternative rock. His style was further refined once discovering early 2000s electro and progressive house, ultimately channeling his focus toward the deeper realms of house and techno. With a signature ability to blend nostalgic textures with forward-thinking tracks, Bakke delivers sets that are as cerebral as they are danceable. His selections are intentional—bridging eras and aesthetics to create immersive narratives on the dance floor. A trusted resident of Miami’s legendary Club Space and a core member of the LinkMiamiRebels collective, you can catch him regularly playing alongside some of the world’s finest djs and producers. In 2024, Bakke launched his own event series, Bak 2D Future, a concept-driven platform dedicated to the exploration of timeless sounds—past, present, and future. Through this project and beyond, Bakke continues to evolve as a tastemaker and educator, committed to elevating the culture one record at a time.Recently at Signal, Superior Ingredients, Outer Heaven · often with Benny Soto, AceMo, Shermanology, none of them here that night
“James Juke came to house music far from home.”
their own biography
the whole biography
James Juke came to house music far from home. A year abroad in Buenos Aires at 19 introduced him to clubs for the first time, and in the span of a month, sets from Folamour, Honey Dijon, and Dusky made him understand that this music had infinite flavors and forms, and that understanding them was going to take time. Now based in Brooklyn, Juke has been shaped by the legacy of The Loft, deep house purists and the underground techno scene, all of it filtering into a singular sound. Rooted in disco, soul, and the sampling lineage that connects early house to hip-hop, his sets move through jackin', vocal-driven house and raw, hypnotic tech house. Drawn to DJs like Eris Drew, Octa Octa, and Cinthie as much as the classic house canon, Juke thinks as much like a curator as a DJ. Whether digging for sets or samples, his growing collection of music leans towards tracks you can't easily find on streaming platforms and records that haven't been digitized. Production came later, and in the least glamorous way possible. During the pandemic, Juke downloaded Logic and spent a year teaching himself entirely by ear. No tutorials, no guidance, just samples. Eventually that work found its way to Demuir, who gave him monthly feedback sessions that sharpened what he was building. Releases followed on Nervous, Robsoul, and Rek'd, alongside more experimental work, including A Little Lost, a collab-driven EP that deliberately stepped outside the club context to explore what the music could be. His sets carry the same curiosity. Whether playing a 150-cap room or a main stage, Juke's approach is shaped by a genuine respect for the history he's drawing from: Paradise Garage, Music Box, and The Sound Factory. He's shared lineups with Mike Dunn, Harry Romero, Inland Knights, and Dam Swindle; his music has earned the attention of Disclosure, who have supported his development and given direct feedback on his work. A-Trak released his music and has been a collaborator and subject of his long-running interview podcast, The Juiceboxx. And for his party, The Jukeboxx, he’s hosted NY’s best: Dee Diggs, Kim Anh, Devoye, Cosmo, Lovie, and MomaReady. None of it was planned. It still isn't. And that's the point.House on 20, Nu-Disco on 4, Disco on 2 and Contemporary R&B on 1. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Madame Gold (2), The Disco Express (1) and snackwax (1); their RA profile also lists Nervous Records, Rek'd, 17 Steps and Toucan Sounds. labels on their catalogued releases and on their RA profileRecently at Elsewhere, 96 Morgan Ave, public records · often with Very J, Tim Lucent, Devoye, none of them here that night

“With a scene as vast as Brooklyn, there are few artists and selectors that have shown as much promise as EREZ.JPG.”
their own biography
the whole biography
With a scene as vast as Brooklyn, there are few artists and selectors that have shown as much promise as EREZ.JPG. His selection of underground cuts and eclectic sounds is a clear reflection of his devotion to the local scene and attention to international trends. He is known for hammering anything from minimal to disco, from 90's house to breaks - anything that will elevate the energy and get everyone moving and grooving. Erez's energy on the decks and on the dancefloor is absolutely magnetic--it's no wonder his recently launched party series and community, Say Yes, has already received much support from the local dance music community. Within a year of DJing in Brooklyn, Erez went from DJing fraternity parties to consistent bookings, including landing a residency at TBA Brooklyn and Ciao Ciao Disco and appearances at Elsewhere, The Brooklyn Monarch, Noir, Mood Ring, and more.Recently at Apollo Studio, Crossroads Cafe, Outer Heaven · often with Armii1n, Bella Mutino, Mai iachetti, none of them here that night
