Bimini is a DJ, musician and writer whose fiercely bold output sits at the intersection of electronic music, punk attitude, pride and politics.

After breaking through on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK in 2021 Bimini is now focussed on music with their visceral DJ sets encompassing house, electro, breaks, drum’n’bass and leftfield club sounds, often blending live vocals to provide peak dance floor moments.

Alongside DJing, Bimini is completing their debut album – a body of work driven by protest, satire and unflinching honesty, centred on their razor-sharp tongue, relatable life experiences and irreverent insights.

Bimini has released music via Sony, with BBC Radio 1, Radio 2 and Radio 6 Music support.

They’ve also produced high-profile remixes for artists including Anastacia and Kate Nash.

Performance highlights include All Points East, Creamfields Chile, warming up for Lady Gaga at London’s O2 Arena and Pride and festival appearances across the UK, Europe and Australia.

Since bursting onto the global music scene in 2004, Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, Babydaddy, Del Marquis, and the band remain as bold, brilliant and boundary breaking as ever.

With their chart-topping, self-titled debut album they were the first act ever to sweep all three international categories at the BRIT Awards.

Packed with unforgettable singles like Take Your Mama, Comfortably Numb, and Laura, it firmly established the band as one of the most daring and influential pop acts of the era.

Indie-pop band The Hidden Cameras are also Scissor Sisters’ special guest in Scarborough, following the release last year of long-awaited meta dance-pop album BRONTO, which inspired remixes from electronic heavyweights including Pet Shop Boys and Vince Clarke.
