Politics Of Dancing
Politics Of Dancing brings together two strong figures of the Parisian night club scene, Producers and Djs S.M.A.L.L and PACO.
Paco spent his childhood in Africa where his early musical discoveries were originally influenced by Funk, Soul, and traditional African music.
At the age of fifteen he moved back to France and over the years started to get involved in the underground dance music scene. After a few years spent promoting and playing records in the french Capi- tal, he eventually originated the month- ly “Open House” parties with Lorenzo Buitoni that gathered an audience of 1500 dancers on a carefully curated blend of Deep House, Techno and Disco. Aside with Paco is David Matarasso, who runs by the name of S.M.A.L.L. amongst his piers. David got the bug for House Music back in 2000 when living in Cali- fornia, as he was resident DJ on Z90, a well known Hip Hop Radio Station in San Diego.
He returned to France with an intricate mix of Hip Hop, Deep House and minimal flavoured Funk in mind, with the aim to ignite the Dance floors of the Capital. S.M.A.L.L. soon became a name to be seen as a resident and guest in Paris's most sought after House Music joints.
As their paths often crossed in record shops, clubs and behind the decks, it appeared clear to them that this uncon- ditional love for all genres of Black Music, and a common appetite for digging records would lead them to combine their dj skills as a team.
From that point, Politics of Dancing originated and they naturally found their way to the Studio.
Their complicity and hours spent behind the decks lead the duo to perfect their already natural skills of entertaining the crowd, and slowly the Parisian duo started gaining a bigger audience.
Now, their productions on Politics Of Dancing Records delight the Dance floors of DC10, Panorama Bar or Amnesia, in the hands of the likes of Apollonia, Ricardo Villalobos or Tuccillo.
Their motivations behind P.O.D Records are to be able to have an old school black music vibe shaped in a very subtle and modern blend of Deep & House music.
Mixing some forgotten influences, loops and drums into relevant club music, perpetuating the legacy of
Larry Levan & Grandmaster Flash into modern House music.
In one night, those two long time friends are capable to transport you from the funkiest Chicago classic to the deepest underground House tune.
Together, they easily can turn any audience into fulfilled clubbers,making no compromises.
Grego G
Grego G est surement l’un des djs parisiens les plus connus de cette capitale. Issu de la scène rave, inspiré par la musique des pionniers de Detroit et Chicago. Il n’est pas un club parisien de qualité dans lequel Grego G n’est pas fait don de ses oreilles et de ses mains. Party animal devant l’éternel, toujours très endurant, il est doté d’une culture musicale
extra large. Que ce soit de techno, de house, de oldies ou des dernières balles sorties, lorsqu’on parle musique, GREGO G s’attèle à sa tache le plus sérieusement du monde. Si l’on pouvait décrire son état d’esprit en une devise cela serait surement, « Make The People Have Fun »!
