Mixes & live recordings

I know we say this almost every week, but for our next edition of Trommel InSession we have something very special for you. The moniker Respond/React might be new but it is comprised of three artists that are certainly not new to the scene. Artists Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice will no doubt conjure up lengthy Sentaku parties helmed by their founders and regulars that have helped the Parisian / London based label and event series to flourish. The ethos of the triple trouble combo offers fresh perspective in the relationship between crowd, the music and the emotion that comes with hearing a new track at home and the effect that it has on the audience at a gig. 

The three have illustrious solo adventures and so the prospect of all three artists working together behind the decks is mouth-watering. Luckily for you this ethos was cemented in the live recording of their set for the French brothers Mates in Bordeaux. At the Sentaku showcase Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice deftly switch between banging house, grinding basslines and insistent breaks all with a special synergy between them that resulted in this vibe heavy recording.

Radio Pager Episode 44 - Lamalice

French artists Massai and Lamalice's joint project Smooth Operator has been bubbling under for some time now with previous outings on Anthea’s Partisan imprint their studio credentials speak for themselves. Singularly, the pair have been quite influential in the direction of the French electro scene with their involvement in Sentaku servicing pretty much all of the clubs and festivals in France and beyond a slice of their symbiotic energy. If their Partisan outing is anything to go by there are big things on the horizon for the pair under the Smooth Operator moniker.

Lamalice is not just a DJ and producer; he’s a dynamic storyteller, blending the rhythms of Marseille with the energy of global dance floors. With roots as a drummer in a post-punk band and a HipHop dancer, his journey into electronic music is as eclectic as his sound. A key member of the Sentaku collective and a frequent collaborator with labels like Partisan, Positive Future, and Shotgun, Lamalice bridges cultures and genres to create deeply immersive musical experiences. Known for his groove-laden productions and keen artistic direction, he’s a name to watch in the evolving electronic music landscape.

In an interview with Torture the Artist, Lamalice opens up about his love for Marseille, the city's underappreciated music scene, and his influences from the Parisian electronic wave of the 2010s. He also discusses his transition from rock bands and hip-hop dance to electronic music, the lessons electronic music could learn from hip-hop culture, and his creative role at Sentaku. Plus, he teases upcoming projects, shares advice on discovering new artists, and reflects on the enduring appeal of a classic track that changed his life.
