So I spent the whole weekend before Xmas putting together a 30\u2019 mix, half-way between club mix and fashion show, I tried to come up with a blissed-out soundtrack, evocative and feminine, with attitude and funk.<\/p>\n<p>(<em>Download the mix below!<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F75117090\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>More often than not soundtracks for the catwalk are beat-lead (although there\u2019s no rules, everything goes really), it makes sense beats gives pace to the catwalk. But that\u2019s where the similarities with deejaying in clubs end. Indeed there\u2019s no live-mixing at fashion shows (the mix has been finely tuned in the studio)\u2026 and there\u2019s no pressure to make people dance &#8211; although the audience\u2019s all ears and can really go for it. So the music scope you can explore is way wider, almost limitless (in the case of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Vivienne-Westwood\/203975576014?fref=ts\">Vivienne Westwood<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>And why not dream the craziest combinations of music? Tools have evolved so much since the days of disco and djs beginning to mix, remix and edit, with technology evolving so fast, you can know do in 2 mns what took you 2 days then\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The tracks are shorter too, because a show is about 10\u2019 long so you\u2019ve got to pack them in so to speak if you want to build different moods. They\u2019re more re-arranged too with lots of effects to create more extreme transitions. It becomes less about the individual tracks standing out and more about what each of them can bring to the overall equation.<\/p>\n<p>I selected a mixed bag of dancey indie, balearic moods, robofunk, italo, discopop\u2026 a couple of them from my label <a href=\"http:\/\/continentalrecords.tumblr.com\">Continental<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GGMY8nrEdjM\">Shindu<\/a> (last release) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8KtcyE-wbtE\">Jolie Cherie<\/a> (next release). Some of them new and some of them not so new.<\/p>\n<p>I feel as long as you don\u2019t pick up too obvious\/popular tracks, it\u2019s more fun to delve into anything you feel like to and gather some kind of patchwork set than limit yourself to this week\u2019s latest promos. It\u2019s interesting to have several decades of electronic music now flirting with each other on the dancefloor, from new-wave to electro via house, and still morphing\u2026<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the point of spinning exclusively new tunes anyway? There\u2019s great stuff that was overlooked 6 months ago, 10 years ago\u2026 as long as it makes sense to you and works the floor.<\/p>\n<p>I re-edit most of the records I play, new or old, it\u2019s an obsession, guess all dj\u2019s have become like that, it\u2019s so hands on, it\u2019s like playing a kid\u2019s game, doing a puzzle, but you\u2019re manipulating songs and tailoring them to your dj needs, how amazing is that?<\/p>\n<p>I could just get up every day and do edits for 8h like in a factory, I\u2019d love it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Picture Courtesy of<\/em>:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.elsaokazaki.com\">Elsa Okazaki<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jerry Bouthier wears the<\/em> Maison Kitsun\u00e9 <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.kitsune.fr\/t\/maison-kitsune\/men\/shirts#\/p\/classic-shirt-bd-solid-slash-ss13-1\">Spring-Summer 2013 Classic Shirt BD Solid<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French blog Voluume asked me to do an exclusive mixtape that would be given away on Christmas day.
