Pierre Wax - Airything Else Part 1
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2009-02-04
Pierre Wax discovers disco as a teen without knowing at the time that it was disco. He's been digging the trail ever since, widening it with hip hop, electro-funk, mid-tempo Italo, some jazz also, with a recurring handclaps background. Pierre is now part of the Goldrush crew and runs with his accomplice Guido the booking for the Panic Room venue in Paris (where we run the monthly Paris DJs parties). He's presenting here a chillout mix, with hip hop, jazz, soul and funk colors. A different mix, an aerial one, perfectly sequenced. A kind of magnificently magnificent miracle for your earphones. Two words spring to my mind: "thanks" and "more"!
