HOUR ONE: DJ Manifesther Drives You to Disneyland

We’re driving down to Anaheim and there’s an extra seat just for you! DJ Manifesther’s Nostalgia-Mobile places you in the backseat of your parents’ car, blasting the cassette tapes that hyped you up before a fun-filled day at Disney. Can you smell the musty pirate water and sweat? Sing along to classic ride music, zone out to atmospheric sounds from the park, and learn some new songs almost forgotten by time.

About DJ Manifesther:
DJ Manifesther, known as Esty to some, grew up loving theme parks and has worked in themed entertainment for over 5 years. Her love of atmospheric world-building and immersive play brought her to Bob Baker last year where she is now a puppeteer. Her goal is to trick you into feeling like a kid again and remind you that magic is alive and well.

HOUR TWO: DJ Keke’s Kitsching Hour

Tune into DJ Keke’s Kitsching Hour for the kitschiest, spookiest, slinky sounds inspired by Bob Bakers very own fabulous feline, Black Cat.

Everything your about to hear was lovingly pulled from Bob’s precious, personal archive of 5000 plus vinyl records with this spooktacular siren in mind.

About the DJ:
