Praise You: A Larry Heard Tribute Mix by Kai Alce

Highlighting his love of uplifting Soul, Disco and Gospel, Matt Ma Moustache rolls out an hour that will keep your head bopping from start to finish. As well as being a heavy collector, Matthieu is also one of the lovely folk behind Fréquence, a mighty fine vinyl bar in the 11th Arrondissement of Paris. Match this with a Negroni Sour from your boy and you’ll be on the road to the happy place in no time.

LIFE CLASSICS 65 MATT MA MOUSTACHE

For the next instalment of our Record Club Mix series we head to Paris, with a brilliant mix from Matthieu Biron aka Matt Ma Moustache. 

Born in Brittany, Matt also originates from Martinique (West Indies), which has had massive influence on his musical tastes. A respected digger and DJ, his love of disco, modern soul, funk, gospel, Afro and West Indian grooves has seen him support the likes of Antal, Mendel, Esa, Gino Grasso, Louise Chen and The Mighty Zaf. Back in 2018, Matt also co-founded one of Paris’ top listening bars @frequencebarparis, a vinyl only cocktail bar highlighting some of the best diggers and DJs from around the world. 

“In this mixtape I really wanted to play what I enjoy the best and what we play the most often at Frequence. The tempo is going up song after song to catch the audience in an uplifting atmosphere and make them dance. Different music styles are showcased here : Disco, Boogie, African and Gospel. 

First, three beautiful gospel records set the tone as I love to start with that style or zouk. Following there’s a record with a great cover of Candy Bowman ‘Since  I Found You’ by Crossroads. After that, two magic Disco records that became classic at Frequence over the course of years (almost 7 now): Thunderstorm - Summer Love and Jean Carn - Super Explosion. The superb song to finish from Joe and Lee - ‘Black Gold Disco Moving Machine’ hits with a lot of energy; this one should become a classic dancefloor track in my opinion. 

I always try and play different styles wherever I am, to catch as many people in the audience as possible. This sort of became my trademark if I may say. The mix is 100% vinyl, all from my personal collection that I’ve dug around the world. It was recorded on two Technics and a DJR 200 (during a rainy day ^^).”

Big thanks to Matt for the mix - he will be playing in Canada in a few weeks time and for the first time in Brazil in 2025.

Next up in our mix series is Ron Trent 🩷

We know many of you have been waiting for this one...

We're overjoyed to finally be able to share the recording from a night in The Bowl with the pioneering DJ, producer, and architect for much of today's house music; Ron Trent.

Known for sets that embody the essence of soul, his performance from last Summer was undoubtedly a highlight for many.

Recorded "LIVE" on Easter Sunday, 2019 - Here's a nice long (just under 5 hours) taste from what was a beautiful 8 hour journey of sensational music curated on the fly by the super combo of GE-OLOGY and RED GREG (both amazing in their own right), whose individual and combined music knowledge, chemistry, insane record collections, and masterful DJ skills WOW'd the Selectors Stage audience at DEKMANTEL a few years ago when they first paired up to play back-to-back. Ever since, it's been a treat to see these guys team up on a few more occasions...and the 6th birthday celebration for the FEVER 105 crew was no exception! Pure musical bliss....enjoy!
