PAPA BO SELEKTAH у .warsaw
📍 31 траўня | 20:00–22:00 | Варшава
🎟 Уваход вольны (як і фантазія тваіх каленяў)

Пакуль горад яшчэ не зваліўся ў начную істэрыю, запрашае ў .warsaw на дзве гадзіны гукавой алхіміі —
без раз’ёбу, але з дакладным трапляннем у тую цягліцу, што адказвае за “што я зараз адчуў?”.

На вячэрняй хвалі:
🥁 танцавальная электроніка з адценнем рытуальнай таямніцы,
🪘 рытмы, што пахнуць зямлёй і водарам далёкіх агмянёў,
🌍 і трэкі, у якіх можна згубіцца, як у мапе краін, якіх не існуе.

Гэта музыка, пад якую не скачуць —
а лёгка адрываюцца ад штодзённасці.
Гэта танец не толькі для цела —
а для твайго ўнутранага падарожжа.
———————————————————
PAPA BO SELEKTAH at .warsaw
📍 May 31 | 20:00–22:00 | Warsaw
🎟 Free entry (like the imagination of your knees)

Before the city collapses into nightly hysteria, invites you to .warsaw for two hours of sonic alchemy —
without chaos, but with precise impact to the muscle responsible for the feeling of “what did I just experience?”

On the evening wave:
🥁 danceable electronics with a shade of ritual mystery,
🪘 rhythms that smell of soil and the smoke of distant campfires,
🌍 and tracks you can get lost in, like in a map of countries that don’t exist.

This is not music to jump to —
but to gently detach from the everyday.
This is not just a dance for the body —
but for your inner journey.

🦚 United Colours of Papa Bo – Who Are You When Nobody’s Watching? 🦚 (link -- in first comment)

A serious question from Papa Bo Selektah that echoes louder when you’re alone:
Who are you when nobody’s watching?
The one who whispers to themselves in the dark? Or the one who screams into a pillow?

Here’s your soundtrack for an inner interrogation with no witnesses.
🌀 Bass with a hint of cardamom, beats like telepathic Morse code, and melodies growing like grass through concrete.
You’re technically here — but you’re already somewhere else.

🫀 Here, the feelings that hide in daylight come out to dance.
🎛 Here, electronics aren’t decor — they’re a portal.
This is where you can be anyone — or finally, just yourself.

🔊 Recommended for:
– those who stare at the ceiling to ambient jungle and glitch folklore
– long trips to places you might not come back from the same
– and those who are ready to be honest, at least in headphones

🚫 No soft vibes.
Just you, the sound — and your reflection in a dark screen.

🦁 The insatiable predator of the dancefloor Papa Bo Selektah returns from another exotic safari and is ready to share the spoils with true lovers of wild vibrations.

🚨 Papa Bo will tickle your spleen with bass.
💥 Your internal organs will give a standing ovation.
🔪 Because he’ll slice you open on the dancefloor like a Swiss army knife opens a can.
❌ No foreplay, no censorship, and definitely no “five more minutes at home.”

🆓 Entry is free. And yes — your coordinate system is in danger.🧭

United Colours of Papa Bo - Laced with Sonic Oddities (ep.2, s.2)
// link -- in first comment //

The tireless traveler across the audio fields of exotic lands, Papa Bo Selektah, is back from another round-the-world expedition to present his latest discoveries in the new edition of United Colors of Papa Bo. Appreciate how organically root culture can flourish in the technological era with careful handling. It's a pity we don't live by the laws of music.

To escape the grim reality and dive into the audio material, here's a quiz: in the set, you can hear 7 languages. Whoever identifies at least 4 of them will receive a valuable artifact — a necklace from the neck of one of the shouting natives in the set. Dance and remember your roots!

Now this is what I call a packed weekend. If it were always like this, I’d never feel sad or down.
Three activities in one Saturday, and so different from each other — this is the true manifestation of the multifaceted artistic persona Papa Bo Selektah.

On April 5th, I’ll perform three completely different sets for the curious crowd — two in Warsaw and one online, so I invite you to join:

📅 11-13:00 — InclusiveBarista — Coffee Morning Club
📅 13:00 (in Warsaw) — premiere of the new United Colours of Papa Bo on Radio Plato
📅 21:00 — set after the concert SW@DA x NICZOS + PAPA BO + KIPAH | WARSZAWA at OCZKI

Is there anyone out there who’s ready to handle 3 bursts of quite specific, but undeniably miracle-working energy from Papa Bo Selektah in one day?

🌞 Papa Bo Selektah in da InclusiveBarista
with BREW’n’Bass - Coffee Morning Club
📅 When: 5/04 (Saturday) — 11:00-13:00

While Warsaw locals are still yawning, cuddling their cats, or dragging themselves to yoga/market/traffic — the famous Belarusian DJ Papa Bo Selektah is already serving up a morning set at the coffee shop. No compromises. No milk.
On the menu: total exotic vibes from small nations, mixed with deep basses and sophisticated cutting-edge electronics — everything that wakes you up better than cold brew.
Two shots of espresso — and you’ll never doubt that rave for breakfast is a great idea.
🚪 Entrance — free, filtered.

24/03/2025

Papa Bo Selektah is back on the airwaves of Radio Plato with his infotainment show for the curious — United Colors of Papa Bo.
🔗SoundCloud link -- in da first comment🔗

If your core feels too stable and the refined nature of dance music brings sadness and sorrow for all the musicians in the world — pour a fresh, juicy dose of United Colors of Papa Bo into your ears, and maybe, just maybe, something will shift.
If you're into weird bass-heavy electronics, if you’re craving something exotic, broken, and psychedelic — you’re in the right place.
With this mix, you can pout your lips and smack an imaginary curvy Puerto Rican woman on the wide b***y or playfully mess with the gear stick in a car. Pow-pow, dear listeners!

🔥 Attention, friends! I’ve finally decided to create my cozy Telegram channel kola_Bo (link in first comment). This will be a space for everything that doesn’t quite fit on Instagram or Facebook.

What’s in store for you?

🎧 A LOT of music — daily recommendations, discoveries, links to what impressed me today, my Spotify playlists, hidden gems on SoundCloud, mind-blowing new artists, concert and DJ set videos that caught my attention, and more.

🎤 Song snippets — all the Smetannik Bo recordings I’ve ever made, plus new ones. Instagram isn’t the right place for them, but Kola Bo is perfect for it.

📂 Archived & fresh content — interviews, reviews of what I’ve watched/listened to/read/visited, late-night revelations, plans, performances. I’ll be sharing and discussing it with you.

Jump in! I might overshare at first, but I promise to settle down to just one post a day.
