NTS – APRIL 2021 W/ PAM & CARLOS

April is the cruelest month. It's also one of my favorite months, days are noticeably getting longer, hotter and sunnier in Paris, and I'm not suffering from hay fever yet. But the poet is right, it's a cruel month. Its spring colours lure us. Our expectations for a good change are great, but, by the…Lire la suite NTS – APRIL 2021 W/ PAM & CARLOS

NTS – JANUARY 2021 W/ PAM, BELEC & SAINTE-RITA

The price to pay for a promotional article on OYT was to contribute to our monthly radio show on NTS. Sainte-Rita & Belec did their part admirably by submitting an exhilarating mix of 1990's Europe optimist house pop and quirky downtempo cuts. https://www.mixcloud.com/NTSRadio/okonkole-y-trompa-w-pam-belec-and-dj-sainte-rita-27th-january-2021/ I did little to respect the theme as the first hour of…Lire la suite NTS – JANUARY 2021 W/ PAM, BELEC & SAINTE-RITA

NTS SHOWS – NOVEMBER 2019 W/ PAM & BEN DROWNED

It's that time of the year again, that time when (mostly North American) people celebrate ghosts, werewolves and the rest of a bestiary popularized by Hollywood productions. From time to time, I love a little fright, especially when it comes from eerie melodies and spooky musical atmospheres. That's why I summoned Creepy Pasta legend Ben…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – NOVEMBER 2019 W/ PAM & BEN DROWNED

NTS SHOWS – AUGUST 2019 W/ PAM & ALEXANDRA BENALLA

This Summer, I've been trying to find relief from the terrible heatwave in movie theatres. Not that I need an excuse to spend hours in theatre, but the weather probably steered me towards cold and rainy films. The night was particularly hot when I saw a wonderfully remastered Blade Runner. What a shock it was.…Lire la suite NTS SHOWS – AUGUST 2019 W/ PAM & ALEXANDRA BENALLA

But, considering that it's been recorded by Tunisian and Senegalese musician in Paris, does it make it Tunisian-Senegalese-French “Euro” House? What…Lire la suite ENTRY #9: WELCOME TO THE EURO HOUSE ZONE PART.3 (TUNISIAN TWIST)
