Gildas Loaec as dj? Unquestionably a certain French-ness… stylish with attitude, no fake mannerisms, a spontaneous ease to rock the dance floor whilst remaining classy. Here is a swish, refined and sleek-looking man who keeps a certain idea of dandyism alive.

Here’s a minimix of his new year’s mix in Tokyo, this extract was powered by BeatauCue.

Gildas will play tonight at Le Baron at Le Bain in New York, also with BeatauCue and Logo on February 18 at Razzmattazz (Barcelona) and on February 19 at Rockstore (Montpellier) for Kitsuné Club Night.
