Djoon work off the Christmas calories with a very special appearance from one of deep house's most spiritual exponents,
Osunlade. Djoon sent us this pre-gig chat...
Djoon: Hello Osunlade! You're playing on the 26th at Djoon, one day after Christmas - what gifts will you bring to the parisian crowd?
Osunlade: Some new tunes of myself and the label and some nice techy stuff!!
D: Do you prepare your sets or do you trust your instincts and energy of the crowd?
O: I never prepare sets beforehand, I only use the energy of the moment to create the mood... reading the crowd is the best skill a DJ has, so I try to use that as my primary tool.
D: Do you listen a lot of electronic music? And do you see yourself as an electronic music producer?
O: I don't listen to much electronic music, mostly jazz and folk are what I listen to. I do however consider myself as an electronic producer, but not primarily.
D: Does it inspire you that a track like "Mirror Dance" by Afefe Iku becomes an anthem for the super clubs of Ibiza, playlisted by minimal superstar DJs?
O: I appreciate the fact that many DJ's known and unknown embraced Mirror Dance, its a great honor when this happens as it shows the diversity of the music as well as the common grown of all demographics.
D: What are your plans for the future? Is the Burning Man festival part of your plans for next summer?
O: My plans are to simply continue on my path creating the music I believe in, and yes, Burning Man is a staple in my life, I will attend it every year until the day I die...
