Sonic palette enhancer. On a quest for musical bliss.
Luis Baquero (aka Bakke), Colombian currently based in NYC is a profound being who lives, breathes, and flourishes in the art of DJing since he was 15 years old. Since he was a little human he became fascinated with the polyrhythmic and synth-laden sounds of the 80s/90s golden eras. Raised in South Florida and influenced heavily by the progressive and electro scenes of the early 2000s, this was the fuel that ignited his creativity and led down the rabbit hole to the world of house and techno. Armed with his passion, a diverse arsenal, and a relentless drive to blend nostalgic elements with proto soundscapes of the future; Bakke plans to educate the best dance floors on the planet, one tasteful record at a time. A trusted mainstay with the LinkMiamiRebels collective, you can catch him live at his residency at one of the most renowned electronic music institutes in the US: Club Space.

Layla Benitez may have been in DJ booths since she was barely old enough to walk, but her DJing and production reveal an artist who continues to evolve and grow with every gig and every experience. Her August 2021 Boiler Room set showcases an 80s synth-influenced sound she describes as ‘indie dance meets dark disco’, a flickering neon bridge between her New York roots and Miami home. Meanwhile, her long hours spent in the studio reveal a producer working within a melodic techno sound and a laid-back, heavy, soulful groove that, somehow, fits within the same sonic aesthetic. It’s not an accident. Layla has honed her understanding of both DJing and production weekly on the very front line, touring the world and as a resident at Space Miami.
In the last few years, her career has been on a constant upward trajectory.

Sister System’s sound defies easy categorization. Like the best selectors, she juxtaposes deep cuts and familiar tracks in such a way that the cumulative effect becomes entirely her own. It’s dark, tough music for well-tuned ears: Long, hypnotic stretches of downtempo numbers might suddenly be punctured by a burst of breakbeats or funky 303s; techno hi-hats will find negative space to occupy among aquatic synth lines, dislocated drums, whispered vocal samples, and even the occasional electro. Her ability to navigate both nostalgic sounds and the outer limits of experimentation is what commands listeners’ attention.
