Prepare to dance: This year's Peacock Society was pure musical alchemy
International techno stars met a thriving Parisian scene at Parc de Floral
Saturday
The Internet 'Girl' feat. Kaytranada
Kaytranada, Warehouse
On a lineup dominated by big-name techno acts, Kaytranada stood out as the only DJ playing and producing hip hop, trap and R&B. This made his midnight set feel like a real event. Surrounded by four colossal floating lanterns, Kaytranada worked his way through his back catalogue. To the right, Kaytranada’s entourage, numbering almost 20, watched with subdued interest. Almost every track on his recent album on XL Recordings, '99.9%', got a showing. The Canadian artist is prolific as hell, having released a total of 31 different projects and 41 remixes. Aged only 24, this gave the Haitian born Canadian a wealth of tracks to draw from. As French b-boys breakdanced and girls atop shoulders sang each and every lyric Kaytranada dropped ‘Girl’, his collaboration with The Internet. As expected, the room erupted once more.
