BAKEAN (“in peace” in Euskara) is the project of French DJ, producer and musician Maxime Lenik. A former professional classical percussionist and EMI recording artist, he brings over two decades of musical experience to a sound blending deep, hypnotic and club-driven house. After co-founding Shanghai’s award-winning LOgO club, he held residencies at Bar Rouge Shanghai and W Singapore before establishing himself on the international club circuit. With releases on Redolent, Sol Selectas, Underyourskin and Kamai, his productions have received support from Âme, Bedouin and other leading artists. Now based in Ibiza, Bakean continues to develop his sound through collaborations with Jean-Claude Ades and forthcoming releases on Super Sapiens and Wired.
