At the control of the PAM Club this week, Parisian duo Zouz Machine has no intention to make the mercury go down, quite the contrary. They bring to us a heat wave, where French-speaking African rap has a special highlight.
If Zouz Machine’s alchemy works so well, it’s because the connection between its members, Anaïs and Sophie, is genuine. These two childhood friends from Caen, now based in Paris, share behind the decks their love for French rap and other sounds without borders. For more than four years now, their incandescent melting pot have infused the Parisian nights, where grime, dancehall, shatta, afrobeats come to the mix and clash with pure hip-hop bangers. This science of the most ardent rhythms allowed them to become resident on the London radio Dropslive FM with their show rightly entitled “Temperature”. They reserved us a set in this same line, the heatwave alert is declared!
“For the PAM Club we wanted to make a mix that looks just like us: summery, festive and generous. We bridge the gap between afrobeats, shatta, English, French, Ivorian and Senegalese rap. As we go along, we progress towards more energetic sounds with our bouyon and jersey drill nuggets. *(Spoil: you’ll need a blower).”
