Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to Club Wire, the pulse of the global
electronic underground, where we dive deep into the beats that
keep the dance floors alive. I'm your host, and today
we're teleporting straight to the heart of Paris, the city
of lights, love and relentless rhythm. If you're a devotee
(00:20):
of the four four thump, you've probably dreamed of surrendering
to a night at the Rex Club. This isn't just
any venue. It's the beating heart of European club culture,
a subterranean sanctuary under the iconic Grand Rex Cinema that's
been fueling the fire of electronic music since nineteen eighty eight.
(00:44):
Born in the acid house explosion and evolving through decades
of rock, disco and pure techno euphoria, the Rex has
hosted legends from Jeff Mills to Laurent Garnier, turning its compact,
sweat soaked rooms into a rite of passage for ravers worldwide.
(01:05):
Tucked away at five Boulevard Poissonniere in the Second Arrondissement,
it's no frills vibe think industrial concrete walls, a killer function,
one sound system and zero tolerance for pretension. Makes it
feel like stepping into a secret society where the music
does all the talking. As autumn chills the same, the
(01:28):
Rex is heating up with back tobacco assaults on your senses.
This October, we're talking two unmissible nights dedicated to the
raw soul of techno and house. Friday October third, with
Romanian minimal maestro Precu unleashing an all night long set,
followed by Saturday, October fourth, where Dutch vinyl wizard Antal
(01:53):
delivers an extended journey, flanked by local heroes Flabet and
Tatid's live fireworks. These aren't just gigs, their immersive odyssees
in one of the world's most storied clubs, where the
line between artist and crowd blurs under strobe lights until dawn.
(02:13):
Let's start with Friday's headliner, Precu real name Adrian Nikolae,
a Bucharest born selector who's been quietly reshaping the minimal
techno landscape since the mid two thousands. Hailing from Romania's
fertile electronic scene, Precu cut his teeth as a member
of the Sunrise booking agency back in two thousand seven,
(02:37):
honing a style that's equal parts hypnotic groove and surgical precision.
Think intricate microhouse rhythms laced with deep, rumbling basslines that
pull you into a trance like spiral. He sets aren't
about peak time bombshells, but subtle builds that reward the
patient dancer. Precu's all night long format at the Rex
(03:01):
that's the holy grail for purists. From midnight straight through
to seven am. Expect him to weave through his vast
crate of Eastern European underground gems, blending forgotten nineties minimal
cuts with his own atypic records releases. It's the kind
of marathon where time dissolves. One moment you're locked into
(03:24):
your rolling groove, the next you're lost in a sea
of percussive euphoria. If you've never witnessed a pre kill anl,
this is your wake up call. It's intimate, it's intense,
and it's the perfect antidote to fleeting festival sets. But
hold on because Saturday cranks the eclecticism to eleven. Enter Antl,
(03:48):
the Amsterdam based musicologist and co founder of the legendary
Rush Hour label. A man who's dejaying defies easy categorization
at fifty seve. Antl's been digging crates since his teens,
taking overnight buses from Hungary to London in the eighties
(04:09):
just to score rare, funk and disco twelve inches. His
extended set promises a globe trotting adventure, fluid transitions from
warm afrobeat infuse house to gritty Chicago jack tracks peppered
with rare edits that only surface in his hands. Antel
(04:30):
doesn't chase trends. He curates moods, drawing from continents and
eras to create sets that feel like a warm, vinyl
scratched conversation. Sharing the decks will be Paris's own Flabeir,
a co owner of the emotive Dot Dot dot Ko
Records imprint, whose productions drip with heartfelt house melodies and
(04:54):
live hardware wizardry. And then there's Taddy d, the rising
force behind in the two food Toote Femme collective, bringing
her live performances alive with eclectic, crowd hypnotizing energy, think
house revival anthems twisted through a French lens of soulful
digger vibes. Together, they'll transform the Rex into a melting
(05:20):
pot of houses, past, present, and future, with Antol's extended
run time ensuring the party stretches into the Parisian sunrise
picture it. The air thick with anticipation as you descend
the stairs into the Rex's dimly lit embrace. The crowd,
a mix of locals in sleek black attire and international
(05:43):
ravers clutching glowsticks, is diverse, united by that unspoken electronic kinship.
The sound hits you first, crystalline and bone rattling, bouncing
off walls, etched with thirty five years of graffiti and glory.
Pricu's night might start subtle, easing you in with micro
(06:06):
rhythms that build to euphoric plateaus, while Antol's could swing
from disco funk openers to deep techno dives, with flabeer
and tatid sparking spontaneous joy in between. No VIP nonsense here,
just pure, unadulterated connection. And as the clock ticks past
(06:28):
five am, with the metro rumbling back to life above,
you'll emerge transformed, the base still echoing in your chest.
If these nights have your pulse racing, snag your tickets
now via shotgun or ra Pricu's A and L is
already buzzing with early sales, and Antol's lineup is primed
(06:52):
for sellouts too. Fonte, head to the Rex club site
or Instagram for the full low down and remember, in
a world of fleeting trends, places like the Rex remind
us why we fell for this music in the first place.
