Teaming up for their first back to back set ever, Colombian-born and Miami-based Bitter Babe and London-based Manuka Honey bring their signature deconstructed treatment of baile funk, reggaeton, and dembow to Rewire. The arresting EP Industrial Princess (2021) powerfully warped Manuka Honey’s musical influences into genre-defining club bangers, while the collaboration between Bitter Babe and Nick León – including the incredible Delirio EP (2022) – expertly transform Colombian guaracha, Venezuelan raptor house, and bubbling styles from Amsterdam into all-out dance tunes.
While reimagining the sound of the Latinx diaspora in ravey, abrasive club tracks, this duo of musicians, producers, and DJs never fails to skip out on the pleasure principle. Manuka Honey describes her DJ style as “sexy, unpredictable, and hard,” which indicates where a free-wheeling b2b set can take the audience. Having released music on NAAFI, TraTraTrax, and Club Romantico, these artists have become part of the global club scene, pushing the envelope and boundaries of electronic dance music into wildly fun new directions.
