Paris DJs and Le Pigalle present the 10th edition of their 'Tour Operator' weekly rendez-vous in Paris, with Erik Rug and Fatta Soul Stereo as the operating DJs for this session on february 18.

Active on the music scene for more than three decades, Erik Rug is one of the legendary French DJs, along with Laurent Garnier and a selected few others. Currently resident DJ every friday at Le Silencio, the hypest club in Paris designed by David Lynch, he's also been a member of the Paris DJs collective since day one, more than ten years ago now. Twice a month Erik will be taking the decks at Le Pigalle to play a (rather horizontal) selection of new and old grooves from the vast & groovy Paris DJs musical universe. Those who remember his famous WaxGroove parties won't miss to come by…

Fatta is one the founders of the Soul Stereo crew/soundsystem. When Paris DJs started, he was living 50 meters from the label's HQ in the same street, and already one of the most active DJs & diggers on the Jamaican music scene in Europe. He's the one who connected Paris DJs in-house producer Grant Phabao to reggae icons such as The Lone Ranger, Carlton Livingston, Echo Minott, U-Brown, Johnny Osbourne, Horace Andy, etc. Fatta's Jamaican 45s, 12s & LPs collection is totally unique in France. Every month he'll be selecting some of the rarest along with some of the coolest in reggae, rocksteady, ska, Jamaican soul and more…

TOUR OPERATOR


THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11th :
PARIS DJS SOUNDSYSTEM "DREADLESS & DREADY"
- ERIK RUG
- FATTA SOUL STEREO


Every thursday evening in Paris (*), a brand new Parisian party 100% feeling in an authentic district hotel : Le Pigalle, whose story was shaped by its surrounding cultural melting pot animating Montmartre's South side. With resident DJs : Loik Dury, Erik Rug, Fatta Soul Stereo, Grant Phabao, Djouls, Victor Kiswell + guests.

Le Pigalle is an authentic district hotel, whose story was shaped by its surrounding cultural melting pot animating Montmartre's South side. Victor Kiswell, one of the world's top record diggers (check his Paris DJs mix here) helped them build a strong musical identity, and even hand-picked a selection of LPs for each room — all turntable-equipped.

Stars of the Paris night, DJs have transformed the city into one of the party capitals of the world. Paris DJs – a collective of top DJs, including some of Radio Nova's original programmers - launched its own website www.parisdjs.com 10 years ago. Drawn to Pigalle's sexy, musical vibe, every Thursday they'll be spinning rare sounds with a hint of black music, a million miles from the muzak piped into conventional hotels.

"We know there's a close link between the hotel, music and culture generally, that's why we jumped at the chance to share our best vinyls with Le Pigalle", explains Loik Dury, one of the collective's hyperactive members. "Every Thursday, we're going to be inventing sounds unique to the hotel."
