Two seasoned French DJs/producers team up in a Parisian studio for a vibrant alliance destined at the more elusive dancefloors - vous avez dit disco noir?

Long-time chums Jerry Bouthier and Julien Plaisir de France met at the beginnings of rave and forged an enduring friendship based on mutual artistic respect as well as a fondness for absurd humour and all things 80s. Both went on to define their own path whilst regularly contemplating working together on a project, alas to no avail. Until recently when, on a whim, they cracked open the champagne in the studio, let the jokes flow and finally got down to it. Created on vintage tools, fat synths and classic drum machines ‘Eccitatissimo’ (the clue is in the name) throws hypnotic basslines, chorus guitars and frantic effects into the mix; a 120 BPM peak-time banger that pushes the right buttons, groovy yet trance-like with spaced-out breakdown. 

Balearic player of the early Parisian rave/house scene (with late brother Tom), long since relocated to London, Jerry Bouthier eventually joined the dots between dancefloor and fashion as he became DJ stalwart of the Kitsuné label/clothing brand (owned by Daft Punk’s manager), touring around the world on the back of his residency at infamous London club BoomBox; whilst simultaneously maturing as diligent sound-designer for the fashion world (Vivienne Westwood etc), a craft - characterising moods - tailor-made for Jerry. Over the years he has created hundreds of soundtracks for the catwalks of London, Paris, Milan, NY and deejayed at the parties of some of fashion’s biggest names, yet still relishes his me time in the studio looking for the perfect beat/melody.

Having learnt the bass in his teens in the aim of joining his mates’ band, Julien Plaisir de France quickly caught the electronic bug, released his first 12”s on seminal Parisian house label Pro-Zak Trax and soon scored a club smash under his Sweet Light moniker with electro monster ‘Abusator’ (championed by 2 Many DJs, Tiga, Ivan Smaghe…). He renamed himself Plaisir de France and became a reference on the edit scene breathing new life in plethora of classics. Julien has just rounded off twenty years of music-making with the release of his debut album '#20’ celebrating timeless French electronic pop with the help of a motley bunch of stand-out vocalists and his own personal gallic twist. Still, true to himself, he remains a generous, eternally enthusiastic dj.

Jerry Bouthier: “We both love the original new wave/post-punk of yore, the sound of NY clubs such as Mud Club, Danceteria etc, when electronic instruments started to infiltrate studios and dancefloors. Futuristic music to dance to - obviously fed by disco - but also packed with attitude and interesting new sounds. A landmark in time… With Julien our musical trajectories crossed again thanks to the current dark disco thump that harps back to that golden era, it was the perfect moment to combine our inspirations and contribute to this scene that keeps on pushing the limits… A good occasion to spend time with Julien who makes you look at life with a smile, priceless!"

Julien Plaisir de France: “Sure, ‘Eccitatissimo’ is all about dancing… from the past to the future, from maximal to minimal! Jerry and I go a long way, our friendship has lived through various eras and music styles. We may share an appreciation for bands, our roots I guess. Our initial bond stems from having succumbed early on to the drive of the synthetic beat though. We never fail to value powerful ideas or inspired musicianship, hence the logic of combining our skills - my tendency to let sonic concepts run wild and Jerry’s no nonsense study of what makes bodies move - in order to deliver fresh, effective tracks.”

PREMIERE : Beatune - We Have To Go Back

As a record label, San Francisco’s Dream Chimney began in 2018 but its genesis goes back much further. The name was first used for an electronic project in ‘ 97 while experimenting on demos and late-night college radio sessions. At the start of 2000, the name continued as a collaborative website known for its passionate and discerning music community sharing new discoveries for over 20 years. The label was born with a focus on lo-fi Balearic, new age, dance, and synth pop. Releases have included Sorcerer, Memorex and Po-One, A Vision of Panorama, Max Essa, Trujillo,Hatchback, Rollmottle, Faint Waves and more.
Hormone is the experimental dance pop duo out of Austin,Texas, Jim Colby, and Rosie Clements. Summoning tracks built for both dancefloor and headphones, they draw inspiration from the modern internet kaleidoscope of influences of street soul, 80s pop vanguards Laurie Anderson and Hiroshi Satoh, and the bottomless well of modern ambient music. Formed amidst the southwestern moonscape of Tucson, AZ, the duo met in the city’s tight-knit and prolific music scene, bonding over a desire to make music that was sparser and groovier than projects they had been involved with before. They released their eponymous debut in 2017, chiselling out tracks from the bedrock of boogie funk and bedroom disco with forays into the hazier quadrants of dance pop. 
“Smoothsayer” sees the duo leaning into a more focused version of this sound, with smacky drums, luxe synth pads and rubbery bass lines rolling out alongside contrasting tracks with a sense of quiet weightlessness, all tied together with the cool, drizzly beauty of Clement’s vocal. Written during the summer of 2022 in Tucson, Arizona, “Lo-Sun Season” reflects the hallucinogenic heat of an asphalt parking lot at midday, while the title cut sounds just like pulling out of that lot for a 90-degree midnight cruise along barren cactus-studded highways. Keeping a firm foot on the dancefloor, remixes come courtesy of the Bay area’s Sorcerer, plus a dub from the Dream Chimney in- house squad.

PREMIERE : Hormone - Smoothsayer

Cham Dance is a timeless slice of back-to-the-future house music by the São Paulo-based duo Kurc and Chausi. Merging 80’s nostalgia and 90’s rave influences, the EP evokes the past in spirit, when rules weren’t yet written and our romance with transcendental machine sounds was in its early days. You can find freedom within the tracks and unity around the album. Vigorous beats and ethereal pads that bring about the first light of bliss to a packed summer dancefloor. This is a record you sit and listen as a whole, something that in our current time is rare. A journey into sound.

„Mokyklos suole naršydamas per nespalvoto telefono WAP naršyklę akis vis kliūdavo už paslaptingo renginio "Minimal Mondays". Smalsumo vedamas netrukus pradėjau jame lankytis. Galiausiai prisijungiau prie minimal.lt komandos, su kuria keliauju jau 10 metų. Minimal Mondays buvo tas renginys, kuriame debiutavau kaip DJ’us. Dėkoju komandai už sutiktus žmones, išgirstą muziką, aplankytas vietas ir neįtikėtinas istorijas. Linkiu pagaliau šiam renginiui patekti į UNESCO paveldo sąrašą.” — pasakoja Karolis Urbonas. Kartu su juo Minimal Mondays 19 gimtadienį švęsime jau rytoj: bit.ly/minimalmondays19

"While browsing through the WAP browser on my non-colored phone in the school hallway, my eyes stumbled upon the mysterious event called "Minimal Mondays." Curiosity led me to start attending it soon after. Eventually, I joined the minimal.lt team and have been traveling with them for 10 years now. Minimal Mondays was the event where I debuted as a DJ. I thank the team for the people I met, the music I heard, the places I visited, and the incredible stories. I hope that this event will finally be included in the UNESCO World Heritage list." - Karolis Urbonas remembers the good old days as we celebrate Minimal Mondays' birthday tomorrow: bit.ly/minimalmondays19
