2026 DJ set

A DJ set at La Station, Gare des Mines in the north of Paris, for Dreamachine, moving between contemporary techno and landmark electronic and electroacoustic recordings: Éliane Radigue and Iannis Xenakis alongside records released the same week. The oldest material dates from around 1956; the newest arrived the day before the show.

Texture, density, spatial character and recording quality carried the set the way a key change carries another one: tape noise against a mastered kick, a long drone opening underneath a tight modern rhythm. Not nostalgia, and not eclecticism for its own sake. The interest was in where those recordings meet.

Watching a room dance to pieces written for a concert hall was the best part of the night.
