Oh, weekend! How we’ve missed you so. And as another week flies by, Labor Day weekend draws nearer, which means Sun City Music Festival is rapidly approaching. If you haven’t bought your tickets to the Labor Day weekend celebration, what are you waiting for? Get your joie de vivre and order tickets online or in select stores!
If you haven’t noticed, we’re feeling awfully Frenchy today. For this edition of Weekend Warriors, it’s time to laissez les bon temps rouliér! We noticed many of our Sun City artists this year are from France. So to soundtrack your weekend, we’ve got three mixes from our Français acts for all les guerriers (warriors) out there. And you wanna know the best part? They’re all available for download! Enjoy.
Mixmag Mix Of The Week: French Fries & Bambounou
French Fries and Bambounou are two talented Parisians out on a mission to create music where house, techno and bass all merge together. Back in April, les garçons were asked by Mixmag to provide the Mix Of The Week. For the just-shy-of-an-hour mix, the boys intertwine a long list of stripped down, four-to-the-floor beats bordering on punchy and chest-rattling. Break out the sub-woofer for this one.
Popof at Inox Nightclub Opening
When Inox Nightclub first opened their doors in Toulouse, France, they called on recent Sun City addition Popof to bring the energy to the opening for a Form Music (Popof’s label) Showcase. Weaving seamlessly in and out of tracks that are a little bit housey, a little bit minimally, and lot-a-bit groovy, Popof’s two hour mix is filled with rolling basslines, trippy sample effects, and tribal vibes all around. We would love to hear this set by any body of water!
House of Vans x Boiler Room: Gesaffelstein
House of Vans is a semi-private event space and skatepark in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. They open the doors to the public for special events, concerts, and this time around, the world-renowned underground pop-up party, Boiler Room. At about an hour and a half, this mix delves into that dark, industrial, techno that monsieur Gesaffelstein is now trademarked for. If you’re going to a party where the people don’t mind being packed like sardines and getting sweaty, this is definitely the mix for you.
