the groove
rooted in the soulful textures of jazz and driven by the syncopation of funk, musicality and rhythm take center stage in BadCat's sets
each one is curated as a live narrative journey through jackin, deep, and Latin house
they shift where you least expect them to, weaving a bespoke experience for each unique dancefloor
the journey
mixes showcasing deep grooves and rhythmic left turns
rooftop sunset vibes to peak-hour bounce to hypnotic, late-night underground sessions
the credentials
house is a community, not just a genre
we teach our students to honor the Black roots, the queer roots, the oppressed and 'othered' communities that had to create their own safer dancefloors
we honor these original creators by sharing their stories, their names, their music, their legacy
we hold space and eliminate barriers to entry for those who want to learn
gatekeeping has no place in house
the philosophy
even as a young BadKitten, music was all around her - keyboards, clarinet, voice, synthesizers, drum machines, tenor and bari sax
jazz was the catnip - that groove, that swing, that funk
she's been sharing it ever since; in venues, on the radio, and in the studio to teach the next generation of selectors how to share their own magic
