recently, I was reading the “glory to the microbes manifesto” the first part of the mix reflects this microscopic world, zigzagging into dubby and circular sounds and penetrating the comfortable home of the microbes, which were rejected for years.
so then, it transforms into a revenge of the microbes, that becomes more raw and brutal!

I would mention a venue, where I had most of my best music experiences in Paris in the past few years, which is called La Station - Gare des Mines. Most of the labels/collectives I like have organized parties here

I want to share some highlights from this summer 2023 :
I went at two parties at Spanners:
@all-centre-504822953 birthday, @piezopz played a mad set! 
@pampsychia with @ikavapii, @matteocoffetti, @reptilianexpo
@cozi-716789961 at Ormside Projects
@sputnik_one set at @fusebrussels was also something!
Grid at @funke_fu
+ @illegaltapes x Breakboost in Rennes last week of course : sick music and vibe

Fata Morgana Festival 2022 was one of my favorites because the crowd was super receptive, the venue was a majestic old abbaye, and I was playing at peak time and our B2B with @keinblume in Amsterdam for @decadanceamsterdam was purely a magic moment of connection and let go
I also have a super cute memory from my first gig in a club for Electromenager night at la Station! I was re opening the miniclub room after such a long time closed because of covid, a moment that will stay engraved in my heart

+ 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐢𝐱 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫?
love the blend between @bluetooof - Inverted x ex.sses - skinless
and 2 tracks completely different that are matching so well to end my sets : Lårry - In water x Uliss - haine talk. also I really love to mix rap stuff with techno tracks

+ 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧?
Berlin, London, Paris… hmm that’s not easy to choose, every city has its own flavor! also I really love to discover parties in a city by going to a festival like when I did Rewire in Den Haag, Lunchmeat in Prague… it makes me wanna taste more! it is always super exciting to hang out in an unknown city!

there are obviously too many but there is this one I’ve been listening to on loop, it’s so intense! Jin Invites Series #9 Eclipse: PALEMAN
