For the third mix in the Field Maneuvers takeover we're very, very happy to welcome Glasgow-based DJ Bake. One of our favourite DJs (even more so once you read the concept behind the mix 🥲), I've had the pleasure of seeing him play twice over the last year - at Corsica Studios for the Fever AM x Small Talk party and Fitzroy in Berlin. The Berlin set, as part of the Redstone Press label showcase, is one of my favourite memories from this year - it was wild, giving me the new lease of life I needed at that moment as it took place towards the finishing line of the May day bank holiday weekender with some of my closest friends - it's a dancefloor memory that hasn't left my mind since. 

Co-founder of the now defunct ALL CAPS label which housed releases from Kowton, Helix, Bluntman Deejay, Flørist, Neuroshima and more, Bake also hosts a long-standing show on Rinse FM called C to the Power of X with guest including Doo, Akanbi, DJ Voices, Ben UFO, Neinzer, EMA, Jio and more. Earlier this year, Bake launched a new residency at Sub Club called Spirit. In the event description for the first Spirit event, Bake goes into the concept for series, saying "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" which I feel tells you all you need to know about Bake's approach to music, DJing and beyond. 

For the mix, Bake says, "Made with Chanel in mind, this mix is a homage to a moment we shared on a Berlin dancefloor earlier this year. I'm playing with my friend Omar for FM this year, a collaboration born out of a session we had at my Glasgow residency a few months back. I wanted to feature one of Omar's tracks, as well as tunes from our circle of friends and family. The idea was to give a taste of what an hour of our set could potentially sound like - NRG! Bangers! The mix also opens and closes with the same song to round things off. Hope you enjoy!" [my reaction 🥺😭🥲🥺😭🥲🥺😭🥲]

Celebrating their 10th(!) anniversary this year, Field Maneuvers returns with their biggest line-up yet at the intimate secret Norfolk location. With a strong mixture of local legends and international talent on the bill, inviting the likes of Black Artist Database, Dialled In, Rye Wax, Kindred, Dalston Superstore and more to do stage takeovers, it's set to be a scorcher!

You can catch Bake at Field Maneuvers this summer with the festival taking place from the 18th - 20th August - buy tickets here: http://ra.co/events/1611218

Freely moving and purely defined. Climb through @mzzzadele's mystic fog to clarity and resonance. Plucking music and influences from the innermost — for a reflection on the extreme and cyclical natural rhythm.

*MC* It's Narathip! The Amsterdam-based DJ comes through with a heavy low-end mix that captures the essence of experiencing a soundsystem for the first time again. 

A cultural curator who does it all, Narathip runs the booking agency and music platform Rhythmic Culture, hosts a regular radio show on Echobox as well as works in-house at local juggernaut Dekmantel. Late last year, Narathip celebrated 7 years of Rhythmic Culture which initially started as a Soundcloud channel and has now expanded into a booking agency - with the likes of AliA, Lieke TR, Lolo Batten, Low End Activist, ojoo, Photonz and more on their roster - and last year saw the launch of their record label with a release from Zohar & Mika Oki followed by Keita Sano. To celebrate their 7th birthday, Rhythmic Culture took over Skatecafe for an all killer, no filler event with Identified Patient, Askmelater, Lieke TR, Madba, Max Abysmal, Photonz and Thrills in +41. 

In the below interview, we get to know Narathip a little more as we chat through his musical history, relationship with creativity, inspirations and approach to his craft. Plus he takes us on a deep dive into the bass bin with podcast 179.
