FEATURE CITY FOCUS 34 FEBRUARY <strong>2019</strong>
PARIS PARTY VIBES Photo_Mona by David Volants The French capital can claim to be the birthplace of the modern discothèque, but which clubs and parties are shaking the city today? Words_Ben Murphy Paris was the first city in the world to have a nightclub resembling what we know today. In 1953, Belgian chanteuse and club manager Régine Zylberberg invented the modern discothèque, replacing live bands and the jukeboxes that were commonplace then at her Parisian venue Whisky à Gogo with a pair of turntables, and decking out the space with a dancefloor and colorful lights. She operated the decks herself to ensure there would be no breaks in the music, anticipating the nonstop music of the disco era several decades early. Ever since, France, and the capital in particular, has maintained a strong bond with dance music, cemented by innovative French disco artists such as Cerrone, Sheila & B. Devotion and Space in the 1970s, and glamorous Paris clubs in the ’80s and ’90s, such as Le Bains Douches and Le Queen. In <strong>2019</strong>, though the late ’90s boom time of the French Touch movement symbolized by artists Daft Punk, Étienne de Crécy and Cassius might be over, the Paris scene remains effervescent, thanks to a host of underground clubs that help to promote its various electronic music strands. The most famous of them all is the long established Rex Club. Located beneath the venerable Grand Rex cinema on Boulevard Poissonnière, it was founded (in its current incarnation) by DJ and tastemaker Laurent Garnier in 1992. It has retained a vehemently subterranean booking policy through its operation and is a passionate advocate of techno in particular. DJs as varied as Jennifer Cardini, Tijana T, HEYMUSIC.COM 35
