srsly tho - so glad to see Real Scenes back (I've revisited the Berlin and Detroit installments countless times). Paris strikes me as an odd choice, though. I really hope this is the first of many more, and I hope you do...(New York, Toronto?, anywhere else in Germany, Tokyo, Barcelona...idk, Oslo)

| #56 / Tue, 04 Dec 12 14:23 Sorry, but very poor video...
I live in Paris and didn't recognise at all Paris and it's club scene.
Where are Chloe / Jennifer Cardini & Smagghe / Garnier / Cassius etc...? nothing about the REX Club (20 years and still great), but too much about Concrete (only 1 year old-people coming for drugs not music) and hypothetical suburbs parties... what about "We love" parties, social club, wanderlust etc...
Doesn't reflect the Paris night...

A lot of very true things being said by Julien here. That being said, I fear this documentary (which of course cannot talk about every actor of the scene) lacks a bit of explaination about the bitterness of the scene in general. We (and many club kids in general) started fleeing the clubs because they were way too expensive. And so is everything here. If you're single and making almost decent money you can manage your way into having great times every weekend. There is unfortunately a lack of night public transportation, and fiding your way from anywhere in Paris to Montreuil or Asnières or any close suburb place that has wharehouses can be a real pain in the arse. That makes the party very different than what you can find in London or Berlin for example, where you can just wander around with no plan, just going out for a beer and a couple of hours later end up in a warehouse party and stay there as long as you want. There aren't a lot of decent and affordable pre-party places here, and the best ones (Zero Zero for instance) are being shut down all the time. So basically, if you want to go to these warehouses, you'll need to plan it, which is not always my vision of going out. And if once you're there, you start feeling tired, too drunk, don't like the music, or whatever, at 4am, you'll probably have to wait until 6 to get a subway to bed or to an after party somewhere, which can be annoying sometimes. Unless of course, if you don't mind spending 30 euros on a cab, which a lot of people will avoid, and buy half a gram instead to keep on in a not-so-good mood.
The relief in my opinion will come when the Greater Paris projects start to appear, making these places easier of access, and that way breaking the "iron curtain" the periph' is to a lot of people. I come from the suburbs, I have worked on a party at Sira, and I really believe that Paris has a lot to offer, that the pretentious and cliquey mentallity can be interpreted positively somehow in Paris. As it was said here, we can't pretend to be London or Berlin, and the ones who tried made utter crap.
Anyway, let's hope Paris gets back on track. It sure will.
Hey man, I live in London and in my opinion although the scene is quite advanced and ther ar a lot of parties happening. It isnt so easy to go out without planning. Main reason, everyone buys tickets on sites like this now in advance and so there are usually a very limited number, or none on the door. I get it, promoters want to see a definite return, risk less and advanced sales can help them plan stuff and attempt more crazy shit with the money they get from the sales (unkonwn warehouse anyone sometimes to keep the intrigue but often its coz no warehouse is found untill a certain amount of money comes in from advanced tix). Ultimately though advanced tickets have killed the spontaneuity of finding a party on the night -Showing up on the night is expensive, you could end up spending 3,maybe 5 times as much as someone who bought an 'early bird' ticket. -3. London is really big, so it isnt so easy to just wander about for parties, especially if you go further out town where the big warehouses are if the party was lame, to walk to a bus stop, get a nightbus and find something else would take hours. 3. All the parties are really spaced out from one another. Corsica in south, fabric near clerkenwell, Bussey way down in Peckham, Stratford, Hackney.. wherever. so agin it forces you to choose an event in advance. So, what im saying is sadly the days of just showing up for a night on the day seem to be over.

Yeah and that's a big part of why London's club scene is now wank, at least for people who've been going out longer than a few years. You used to have to know what was going on which made sure the party had a certain crowd. It's not like that any more, any old clown can buy a ticket to anything, and RA has surely been the no.1 factor. Like I say, wank.

| #65 / Thu, 06 Dec 12 12:40 Minimob has it down 100 percent. FranklinP too. I was in Paris for Concrete when Raresh played a few weeks ago and the party was rly good. So good that I felt like I had to keep partying and go to Rex for Dettmann. Dettmann was great but there were so many dicks in Rex that I left after 45minutes. horrible vibe, horrible people.

| #67 / Fri, 07 Dec 12 14:54 This is just my two cents - but I struggle to see what defines the Parisian scene outside of the fact that everyone smokes exuberantly.
All the people, all the music and all the ideas for venues (especially the idea of novelty/suburban regeneration) could have come from a documentary on any artistic people in a world capital in the last 25 years
One thing I've noticed is the huge similarity of clubbing scenes ( I think here of Dublin, London, NYC, Paris) the world over. Sure some in some scenes people may get a bit more fucked, or in some places there might be fitter girls, but generally speaking you will find people being
a) white and 21-30
b) university educated, with a propensity towards private education for secondary school
c) 'tired' of the local scene
d)dressed in very nice Scandy threads
The real things that define a 'scene' are usually economic/practical ie do things stay open late, is there good public transport, is the local area in recession
I am not saying this is for a lack of creativity, maybe its because the great leveller that is the internet has spread more of a monoculture around the world (eg the fact that everyone outside Latin America speaks English much better than they did, say 10 years ago)
These are just observations, I am not throwing down universal truths here.

| #71 / Sun, 09 Dec 12 10:32 Nice vid. only missed a lot of other people who are from Paris. Also it would be better if the Parisians just speak French with English subtitles. it belongs more to Paris

|
| #72 / Sun, 09 Dec 12 15:30 It gives hope. But like some sayed before me, to party in Paris, to have (a lot of) money is still the big deal, isn't it?
These partys on sundays though, it makes me want to try . Maybe I'll make a stop next time I'll go back to France instead of jumping from the plane in the TGV.

Glad you like it, it is one our track (As Patria). It is unreleased. We haven't finished the mixdown. Maybe it will be released in 6 months if we find a label.

It reminds me that you also have excellent smaller promoters getting bigger, like Release The Groove or Exploration Music.
Their last party at Batofar was a total BAM, I've seen this Yan Kaylen dude make the warmup (before Truss and François X), never heard about that guy before...he just mashed up the place with a huge 2h deep house to berlin techno massive set. Impressive.
It's boiling in here. I think people need the time to realize how much they love techno, so how much they want to get involved in it. It's the turning point now, that ravers teenagers become young adults techno fans.
Something is happening in Paris, now/ It can die, or get bigger. I think it will get bigger.
From my point of view, the scene is intimate and everybody is connected and peacefull. I mean people really try to make things happen. It's not that easy in Paris because the city is still very very stressed with its nightlife, bar still get closed for night noise reasons, any kind of shit is very expensive for example you pay 10$ a beer and so on.
Go French people go !

| #81 / Tue, 18 Dec 12 16:27 the scene was always weird here..Rex has had a fantastic line up for 20 years. But the the atmosfear has always been shit. I started clubbing in 2000 and the only way to have fun was to pretend being gay and go to Queen, pop up a couple of extasy and go to Enfer, and end the night at Studio 287 of Folies Pigalle afterparties..Those venues were fun, but, now that i think of it, dangerous.
After that, Open House parties at Eysée Montmartre or the opening of le Nouveau Casino gave the impression of a quality hetero- ot necessarily drugged out scene with quality music, with some nice moments, but i don't have the rememberance of real nice atmosfear there neither. I'm almost 30 years old now, and whereas i'm sure there's a nice techno-lovers crowd(such as those demeted or GTC guys), i don't think Paris will ever host a real pleasurable party with nice atmosfear that is accessible to anybody. I went to that Die nacht party in this palais des congres.too big, too cold, no fun. I think this city is too touristic,so everything is hidden.if you hear about a cool party, then its probably too late. My tip, if you come here, forget about clubbing.. of course this only my opinion.

| #82 / Tue, 18 Dec 12 20:55 @Kylebc : Antigone track will be release on march on our label CONCRETE MUSIC.
@JohnBoone : H330 track will also be released on our label on may 2013. It's normal that you didnt find anything about this guy as we also really dont know who he is.
This guy doesnt want to tell us his identity. We just know that he is from Paris, that we have some common friends and that he got some really dope unreleased music...

| #84 / Sun, 06 Jan 13 19:54 Thanks for the video, I was interested to see that some things are actually happening in Paris (I live here).
In my opinion, Paris is very expensive to club. Too many tourists. Neighbours complain about the noise and get the cool places shut down. Because of that you can't talk in front of a venue without a bouncer asking you to go 20 meters away. No public transportation after 1 AM and very expensive cabs make it difficult to move around.
I actually think smaller French cities are better : cheaper rent overall, so the club does not need to extract so much money from you the customer, which means lower entrance fee and cheaper drinks, you can go everywhere by walk, and friendlier atmosphere in the parties.

| #87 / Thu, 30 May 13 15:32 I just got back from London (for the first time) and after experiencing the music scene there, I'm really REALLY hooked and wanna find a similar scene here in Paris (fairly new here too.)
Any ideas? I mean, besides Concrete or Sundae? (They don't seem like the same thing that I experienced in London.)
How would I go about finding the parties that happen outside of Paris like they show in the doc? Don't see many parties on RA for that either. (Don't think many French people know about RA tbh.)

| #88 / Sun, 02 Jun 13 17:38 The parties outside of Paris: Concrete already mostly outside Paris, in Asnieres. Die Nacht was also outside Paris.
IMHO (and I've only started going to teshno parties recently) techno is becoming really "cool" among 20-25 year olds in Paris. So whenever a "good" DJ comes, it's a fucking mess and everybody shows up. If you have Dettmann or Liebing come over, there's 10 times more people now than there would have been 2 years ago. but that's definitely good for the development of the scene. Concrete, Cabaret Sauvage, Machine du Moulin Rouge or Rex are places where you'll find the biggest names in techno & house atm in Paris

| #89 / Tue, 04 Jun 13 12:47 Well, I guess, I'm actually not looking for the big names. New artists and an underground scene is where, I think, a lot of the good music is. I guess it all depends on who you consider to be "big".
I've visited some of the places in Paris like Rex, and I found that to be too commercial. So, yeah, I think Paris does need a new and refreshing approach to venues and music.
