CALEB PARKIN

I started out DJing  in January 2023, alongside my practice as a poet, performer and (currently) PhD researcher - and now DJ at clubs, events, weddings, festivals and wherever as Idiorhythmia.

 

The name comes from Roland Barthes' idea of 'idiorhythmy', which describes,  "a specific form of living together in a community, wherein everyone is able to retain their own rhythm and live according to their own speed" (read more about this here).

​

​For me, DJing brings us together as we make a space of 'collective effervescence' on the dancefloor, moving both individually and as one. 

Gathering and mixing music is a way for me to do that, while also having time by myself and with music. It's about togetherness and individuality co-existing, joyfully.

​

I play bouncy, often very queer house, tech-house, bass-house, latinx and Afro house, breakbeat, pop, a little sprinkling of garage, DnB - and whatever I think is good and will get folks dancing. 

​

​If you'd like me to come and play for you - including at a queer wedding party - then please fill in this contact G Form to give me some details. I'll get back to you within a week (unless it's short notice, then sooner!).​
