As she crossed the threshold into the mystical wood, chasing a glimmer into the night, the forest began to sway and twist with the rhythm of her footsteps. A skip, a hop, a gallop... twisting, winding, the canopy swallowed her into the deep, her breath entwining with the heartbeat of the wilderness...

Recorded LIVE at Youtopia! ~ Gratitude to Centaur, Rachel and all for a beautiful evening of connection, dance and celebration.

SPASIBA (spa-sí-ba) blessing in Belarusian: meaning “thank you”. 

SPASIBA (Katya Stepanov) is a Belarusian-Jewish-American DJ, artist and entrepreneur based in Brooklyn. 

SPASIBA spins a world of sound. Born in Minsk and raised in the concrete jungles of NYC, SPASIBA’s sound is a syncretic fusion of European melodies and Latin beats. Katya’s sets are a journey. She braids together Afro, Latin & European house, techno, D&B, jungle rhythm, disco, trance, and driving melodic EDM with a splash of mysticism and soul. 

SPASIBA got her start as a champion Latin Ballroom dancer, received her BFA at CMU’s School of Drama, and is committed to co-creating dance floors where notions of self are shed at the door and standing in place becomes physically impossible. She creates resonance through the power of breath, bass, sweat, and sonic alchemy.

LEXX whips the finest cross-genre music into sets that sweat and reset. Their dance floor is a sxy somatics-infused space where gender gets bent and all beings are held in love. A space where you can dance freely to meet your struggle and release it all.

LEXX is also the creator and DJ daddy of Soft Butch, a somatics-infused night celebrating butchness, for all women, NB and Trans people to dance freely together. The event is a repeat sell-out, gathering crowds of over 500 people on the regs.

You can find LEXX on the decks in the UK and beyond, in clubs, cafés and bars, at festivals, and in sober dance spaces. Expect the finest house of all flavours, afrobeat and amapiano, reggaeton and latinx tracks, drum n bass, and much more.
