All the way from glam Paris, superstar DJ Babybear gives us his fave tunes ahead of his set at Dalston Superstore’s Patsy next Friday!
Hey Babybear! Describe yourself in one gorge sentence.
I am a former journalist (TÊTU, Yagg.com…) and radio show host (Nova, FG…) and now fully enjoy my passion for clubbing and music since I cofounded MENERGY, the sweaty, sexy, housy, gay party that rocks Paris since 2014.
You’re DJing at Patsy next Friday! How are you planning on personifying Patsy Stone on the night?
It’s obvious, no? I am the official Ivana Trump lookalike so I will just live my life and I’ll be fabulous.
What can we expect from your set?
A bunch of disco flavors and kickin’ house tracks. Wanna make you sweat.
Give us your top (and vers) tunes!
