Danny and I met for "Random Circles" and wanted to take the opportunity to convert the excitement and energy created by this event into something sustainable. 

This is our contribution to this unforgettable time in Frankfurt.
We invited some friends over to Danny's house and did a little session according to the slogan: "For the love of house, for the love of beats, for the love of dance"

Enjoy the almost 2-hour b2b journey with us.
This is something for those who want to go self-searching in the training room, but also for those who just want to sit back, relax and enjoy their flight.

We’re off to the 38th episode of Podcats and head over to Gothenburg, Sweden, where multi-talents Dogbite & Chad Bogus guides us through a landscape of vibes in this one hour long ride. This duo has been making significant moves in many corners of the culture we call hiphop. Weather it be creating names & winning battles in breakdancing in Sweden & internationally, producing quality beat-tapes or establishing themselves as one of the finest MC’s rocking the mic in the underground scene in Sweden with a lot of releases under their belts. 

Beyond that, they have a special dynamic behind the decks, showcasing that they can keep it 360 degrees in whatever they choose to dig into. In this playful and laidback mix for our Podcats series we truly get a taste of the vibe they provide in a seamless back to back ride full of beats and a dash of underground raps. You’ll hear tracks in the likes of J Dilla, Madlib, Little Brother, Yussef Days aswell as gems from Swedish produces such as Tape-Roc, Max I Million & Max Science.

ZSA ZSA SUNDAY (Afrohouse DJ Mix)

A guest mix recorded for our radio show!
Read on below for a mini interview as we asked the dancer / DJ some questions!

How do you see your role in the history of house dance culture in France and Europe?

I belong to the group of pioneers in France. I have helped spread this dance in France and throughout Europe since the middle of the 90s. Transmitting this culture has always been important to me, be it in my professional career as a dancer or as a DJ though my " Atmosphère" project.

What was it that made Paris the centre of house dance culture in Europe? Was it the people? Competitions? Clubs?

 .When we first took part in this movement, we already had a strong knowledge of clubbing due to the fact that we were already part of the cosmopolitan and rich hip hop culture.
There is a strong Hip Hop club culture in France that has been a foundation for the history of dance, clubs were the only spaces available to us to express ourselves.
As a result, for long time we were just a few of us, twenty at the most, sharing this passion; our favourite clubs between 1996 and 2004 were the Queen "respect party", the Rex Club "legends party", the Cheers, the Djoon and I’m sure I’m forgetting many others ...
When battles began with the Juste Debout (Just Standing), this popularised this dance and its dancers who were already household names in the Hip Hop world. 
French house dance got known and recognized by the general public through these competitions.

Was it the people?
In chronological order until today Mission Impossible , Queen Step , O trip House, Serial Steppers and of course many dancers.
 

When was the first time you saw house dance and what was your reaction?

The first time I saw house dance was in music videos in 1992, Crystal waters "gypsy woman" and many others ... the documentary "house of trees" that was broadcast in France.
I did not know what this dance was called but I loved the energy that came out itu, and above all I recognised the same American dancers in hip hop but not on the same musical genre, it was natural to follow this new trend.
 
As a DJ what are you trying to do when you play music?

I try to tell a story and to surprise people, to connect as much as possible with the people on the dance floor to make them travel while making them discover my musical identity.
 
Tell us how O'Trip House came together.

Otrip house is a collective made us of different groups and spanning many generations, Mission Impossible, Sans Rancune, 7th sense, Asphalte.
The collective was created in 2003 on Meech ‘s initiatve
 
You are one of the first generation of people / crews to do house dance in Paris. Were there many people doing the same?
Between 1997 - 2004 there was few people to practice this dance in club, like i said 20 but after 2004 it has grown until today .
 
You dance and you DJ. What else do you enjoy?

I love music and art in general, I stay curious about everything and I love the artistic projects in which I can get out of my usual routine, I love to develop new perspectives.  
 
In your opinion what makes a good DJ?
 
A DJ is someone who makes people dance, with his own musical imprint, I'll make it short, it's more or less a music “transmitter”
 
In your opinion what makes a good dancer?

Hard work, hard work, hard work, sensitivity to my art and hard work always…
