Big Duck wouldn’t have existed without Baybeats. In 2019, the collective began as Naybeats: at the time the cheeky namesake of a parody show that celebrated acts who had fell short of Baybeats’ Budding Bands programme, the small event quickly became a runway for a new space that celebrated both an fearlessly diverse approach to music, as well as an unshakable community spirit.
Live at
Esplanade Annexe Studio
Newly rechristened as Big Duck, the collective proceeded to host a slew of highly successful and omnivorous shows, championing sounds all the way from indie rock and experimental glitch, to underground hip-hop and bedroom pop. With the COVID-19 pandemic, Big Duck has held strong as a steadfast supporter and voice for Singapore’s emerging sounds, covering the scene as a fiercely independent webzine with reviews, features and interviews.

As Baybeats returns in a hybrid setting, programming the final performances at the Annexe Studio for this year’s edition marks a moment that comes full circle for Big Duck: returning to what the collective does best, Big Duck presents three artists with unique sonic visions, refracted through specially prepared live lineups.
