As a proponent of a dynamic underground electronic scene, he is involved in a number of collectives, and in recent years, has curated numerous parties between Paris and his hometown of Poitiers.

Optimal Request 009 | @ellicame

ellicam shapes her mixes through an architectural vision by seeing tracks as textures. Her palette combines metallurgical, ethereal, aqueous and flaming sounds in order to take her listener on a mental and cathartic journey.

She also shared a few words about her mix: 
"For this mix, I sketched a more raw and minimalist soundscape than usual. We explore a concrete-covered planet that offers us all its textures shaped by powerful gravity."
