Bimini is a London-based DJ, musician and writer whose fiercely bold output sits at the intersection of electronic music, punk attitude, pride and politics.
After breaking through on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, and picking up a huge following, Bimini has since deliberately stripped things back, refocusing on music as the core of their creative output. DJing now sits at the centre of their practice, with visceral sets that encompass house, electro, breaks, drum’n’bass and leftfield club sounds. Often their sets blend DJ and live vocals, providing peak dance floor moments and electrifying energy with every performance.
Alongside DJing, Bimini’s creativity blossoms in the studio and they are currently completing their debut album - a politically charged, no-fucks-given body of work driven by protest, satire and unflinching honesty. Two fingers up at the British establishment with what Bimini refers to as ‘Electro-Cunt-Punk’. Drawing on influences from punk, rave, jungle and queer dance music history, the record is fearsome, unapologetically raw and personal (heartbreak and dickheads also provide touchpoints on the LP). Central to the power of the long-player are Bimini’s razor-sharp tongue, relatable life experiences and irreverent insights. Unfiltered self-expression from a unique persona who found their people through raves, and is channeling their powerful voice and positive energy back into the culture. Their first single ‘TANK TOP BUM BOYS’ from their upcoming debut album came out in June, a riot track named after a homophobic slur Boris Johnson wrote in The Daily Telegraph in 1998.
Bimini has released music via Sony, with BBC Radio 1, Radio 2 and 6 Music support. They’ve also produced high-profile remixes for artists including Anastacia (‘Left Outside Alone’) and Kate Nash (‘GERM’). Touring highlights include both DJ and live shows at All Points East, Roundhouse supporting Kate Nash, Brits official party supporting Lambrini Girls, Creamfields Chile and warming up for Lady Gaga at London’s O2 Arena, with forthcoming dates supporting Fatboy Slim on Brighton Beach and Peaches and Scissor Sisters on UK tours as well as major Pride and festival appearances across the UK, Europe and Australia. Bimini is also a resident for world-leading inclusive party brand HE.SHE.THEY.
On the road, or in the studio, in and out of the music business, Bimini remains a prominent social and cultural voice - one of a kind, wildly creative and embodying punk energy to the very core.
