Baile/Baile: Where Music, Culture, and Community Collide at a remote place in Scotland

Sigi Whittle, an innovative DJ based in the picturesque Highland region of Scotland, is on a mission to break the monotony of Highland winters and revitalise the spirits of the youth with a universal mix of DJ's sonics and audio electronics. In a unique fusion of cultures, Sigi and his colleagues have crafted a series of community-backed club nights that bear the intriguing name, "baile/baile." This name draws its inspiration from the Scottish Gaelic word "baile," meaning "township/village," and the Spanish word "baile," meaning "a dance."  On November 4th 2023, the stage will be set, and the beat will drop as baile/baile launches at the remarkable The Ceilidh Place Venue, nestled in the heart of Ullapool, Scotland. This intimate 100-capacity music hub and exhibition space will come alive with a series of four electrifying parties featuring both nationally and internationally renowned DJs, producers, and party starters.
