Mon, 20 Sep 2010 / Post a comment"A Modern Classy City", Anicet's latest mix for "Le Dixième" concept store in Lyon, France.
Voici enfin la Première Mixtape du Dixième. Nous l’avons confiée à Anicet, un savant sélectionneur de sonorités groovy mais aussi un habile éditorialiste musical, puisque ses sets racontent une véritable histoire mélodique et rythmique. Ceci n’est donc pas qu’une simple playlist.
En 2004, Anicet passait des disques dans des appartements lyonnais, et nous sommes fiers d’avoir été parmi les premiers à l’entendre. Depuis 2006, il promène ses platines et sa prose de Washington DC à Damas (où il installa une résidence incontournable appelée Damas Social Club en écho aux vibrations parisiennes), et fait tourner des tracks de house et de disco, sous influence assumée des légendes US Frankie Knuckles à Tim Sweeney et Theo Parrish.
Il a joué aux côtés justement de Tim Sweeney (DFA), Surkin, Dan Deacon, School of Seven Bells, Para One et Scottie B… Dans des lieux aussi exotiques que le Music Hall de Williamsburg (NY), Sonar (Baltimore), The Annex (NYC), 9.30 Club (DC).

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 / Post a commentAnicet's summer mix featured on the Linger & Quiet podcast (Portland, OR), feat. Rick Whilhite, Tom Trago, FCL, Wild Geese, etc.
This mix has some of the songs that worked the best on the dancefloor of Damas Social Club (http://damassocialclub.tumblr.com/), the residency that I held in a sweaty basement of Damascus Syria, from January to April 2010 before I moved to London. As for many of my mixes, I attempted to blend together elements of disco and house from the past thirty years or so, with a focus on great melodies above everything else, and a special attention to harmonics in my transitions. Among my favorites in there are Rick Whilhite’s “What Do You See” for its Cerrone sample on top of a lo-fi but super efficient beat; Garçons – French Boy for its epic melody and its timeless production; Paradise Lost’s edit of Loleatta Holloway for its killer bassline; and “Dawn”, by Just One Night, for the brass solo which carries more warmth than a Hot Club evening jam session.
