MY BABY is a Dutch/New Zealand trio, made up of siblings Cato van Dijck (vocals, bass, and guitar) and Joost van Dijck (drums), along with New Zealand-born guitarist Daniel ‘DaFreez’ Johnston. Together, they’ve crafted a signature sound they describe as roots & funk-driven delta trance. MY BABY’s journey has been marked by constant evolution and fearless experimentation. Grounded in the raw, organic sounds of blues and funk, they’ve seamlessly woven in the deep, reverberating basslines of New Zealand dub and the kinetic energy of Amsterdam’s EDM scene. Despite these modern influences, the band stays true to their analogue roots, crafting a sound that feels both primal and futuristic, merging the past and present in a unique, earthy dance music experience.
They have been spreading their delta-trance rave to the approval of audiences worldwide since 2012, featuring on renowned festivals such as Glastonbury (UK), Isle of Wight (UK), Sziget (HU), Fusion (DE), Exit (RS), WOMAD (worldwide), Lowlands (NL) and Pinkpop (NL).
MY BABY is more than just the band’s name. It’s a title that refers to an allegorical figure, a central character in the band’s musical story. She is in part a phantom muse, a result of the combined imagination of the band members. She’s often described as, ‘a free-spirited and bold girl in the ’70’s fantasizing about being a flapper girl and dancer in the ’20’s.
