Paradoxically, I play the least right here in Warsaw.
Fewer invites, fewer open parties for the folks who actually dig what I do — even though it’s a massive city, full of opportunities.

But this Saturday, there’s a rare chance.
Right in the heart of the city, at Margariteros.bar — I’ll be throwing down an ethnic swag set from 9PM till midnight.

Expect bass, rhythm, trance, and the usual excuse to lose your body and find your soul.

Let’s gooo!

In 2020, I played on the streets of Minsk — back then, it was about freedom and solidarity.
Now it’s the streets of Poznań, but the meaning hasn’t changed.
The music is still about people, about movement, about how a city can carry the Belarusian flow.

Together with KUT_Fundacja, we recorded “MAPA marching DJ-set” —
a street performance based on the route of the MAPA of Belarusian places in Poznań.
It’s not about form — it’s about presence.

Full video — in the first comment.

Exclusive drop for my loyal (though few) Patrons 🌞🎶

On September 21 I went to Poznań to take part in a wild urban experiment by the KUT_Fundacja. Turns out there are plenty of Belarusian and Belarus-friendly spots in the city, so the local crew suggested we take my legendary mobile sound system on a tour — straight through downtown.

It was the last hot day of autumn: 29°C, full sun, good vibes. We tried to film a full video DJ set, but the front cam kept overheating every 3–5 minutes, and in the end the tablet crashed as well.
Still — we made it happen. We recorded everything. It was sweaty, joyful, chaotic and beautiful.

🎥 The video is now being edited and will soon be out on YouTube. Patreon supporters will see it one week earlier.

And for now — as a little treat — the audio of this playful, sunny street set from downtown Poznań is already available in top quality with full tracklist on Patreon.

Чыстыя мудзі — моцныя людзі.
Калі ўнутры парадак, то ніякі вецер не зломіць.
Чыстая галава і спакойнае сэрца робяць цябе сапраўды моцным.
Жыві без бруду ў думках — і твая сіла будзе чыстай.
Афірмашкі Бо №12.

Papa Bo Selektah heads to Poznań on Sunday, September 21 at noon, to march through the city center with his legendary mobile sound system.
There will be filming — so expect some great content soon!

What’s the idea?
The Poznań-based KUT_Fundacja is behind the city’s LOREM IPSUM // festiwal książki and has also created MAPA, a unique map of Belarusian spots in Poznań. Papa Bo’s marching rave will follow this very Belarusian route, turning it into a live sound performance and opening LOREM IPSUM // festiwal książki with beats and movement.

🔥Пакуль малады — гары. Потым — ногі да гары.
Жыві сённяшнім днём, не адкладай радасць і смелыя ўчынкі на пасля.
Бяры ўсё, пакуль дыхаеш на поўныя грудзі.
Афірмашкі Бо №10.
