93 FEET EAST – Artist Feature: Bear Winder
Ahead of our arrival at East London’s iconic 93 Feet East…We asked some of our immensely talented artists, who will be soundtracking your sizzling all-dayer, some quick fire questions.
Artist – Bear Winder
Room – Main Room / Bar
We are buzzing to have you play for us at 93 Feet East on August 3rd. To begin, tell us a bit about yourself as an artist, where it began and some of your career highlights so far…
B: I’ve been infatuated by deep house and garage as long as I can remember. I used to go to Ibiza as a kid in the 90’s and remember latching on to the feeling even then. I got my first set of turntables when I was a teenager (going back a few ha!) I’d go to raves and watch the DJs and then go home and try and replicate some of the things they did, and pretty much taught myself from there. I’d say the last year or so I’ve really started to see the fruits of my labour, with a release on DVINE sounds, being invited to play in the Defected Records Basement for International Women’s Day, being on direct support duties for house music Legend Mike Dunn, and most recently playing at one of my favourite venues in the world, Pikes Ibiza.
We all have those records in the bag that will be there for eternity…what is the one record that stands out for you, one you couldn’t live without, that always sends the crowd?
B: Ahh the hardest question in the world, but if I had to pick one tune that I pretty much incorporate into every single set because I know it goes off each and every… it has to be R.I.P Productions – I’ve Been Misled (Dub Mix)
93 is one of London’s hottest venues. Have you played before? What are you most looking forward to about it?
B: I used to spend most of my Sunday’s at 93, polishing off big weekend rave marathons with a bit of FUSE (if you know you know)… but YET to play there, so I’m absolutely buzzing to be making my debut there with the Select fam.
What have you got in the pipeline as an artist? Any new releases coming up that we can look forward to hearing at 93?
B: I’ve got a few finished tunes in the pipeline of course 😉 I’m very excited to give them a whirl at 93! I’ve got some exciting Ibiza gigs and dreamy residencies throughout the summer, as well as working on my own event OSO:DEN and a VERY exciting Ibiza project for summer 2025…
Finally, do you have a message for the ravers who will be there on Saturday 3rd? What can we expect?
B: Well as I’m currently based in Ibiza, I’m going to be bringing some big underground Ibiza flavours along with me, as well as a heavy bag of records full of hidden gems and rarities… so pack your scuba gear cos we’re gonna get deep! HA!
