Club Triste: DJ Paypal & Cakedog

We’re back with another legendary night for juke, footwork & beyond in the Bay Area~

We’re honored to host DJ Paypal & Cakedog for this rare appearance in San Francisco alongside a local lineup of Oakland’s best!


DJ PAYPAL:

Renowned for their work in edit culture and contributions to Footwork and Juke, DJ Paypal is a pivotal figure in electronic music. Their portfolio includes remixes for artists such as Homeshake, Balming Tiger, Machinedrum, Aristophanes and more, as well as hundreds of bootleg remixes, resonating globally and finding a place in DJ sets worldwide. Notably, they are part of the Chicago footwork collective Teklife, started by DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn. Their creative output extends across labels such as Hyperdub, Planet Mu, and their own label Mall Music Inc.

As the leader of Mall Music Inc, the label home to peers like DJ Orange Julius and DJ Mastercard, they’ve outlined a new take on footwork laden with lush synthesizers and hi-definition sonics, releasing EPs, singles and bootlegs. Paypal’s proper external debut, “Buy Now,” released on Glasgow imprint LuckyMe, explores soul and disco influences, while “Sold Out” on Flying Lotus’ LA-based Brainfeeder label stands as a testament to DJ Paypal’s versatility at 160 BPM.

‘Paypal’s hyperactive footwork thrives on slicing and dicing the beating heart of disco and boogie’ — MIXMAG

Since 2013, Paypal has toured clubs throughout the world, from Europe to Asia to America, and played several key events and festivals such as MoMA PS1, Low End Theory, Roskilde Festival, and Dour Festival. Live, Paypal is a psychedelic high octane club workout plan. Their take on Juke and Footwork is kaleidoscopic and vivid, expanding on the Teklife template for a sound that looks backwards and forwards in equal measure.
