With smoke blowing over the turntables, DJ Minx appeals to the spirit of electronic music with his infectious presence.
As a pioneer of Detroit techno, it’s more than appropriate that she’s playing on this first night of Igloo Fest, and it’s easy to see why. She performs with ease and joy, but it’s her approach that makes her shine. People arriving from Sapporo, approach in disbelief to this intimate space where the crowd dances in trance in front of the 4 subwoofers. Classic Detroit-style soul and disco samples fill the imagination with lyrical excerpts, and the bass thrills the whole body. She ends her performance on a fiery track that Felix Patry masters and relaunches with a breakbeat to kick off her eclectic set at high speed. Navigating with ease between a panoply of styles such as Baltimore club and Euro-dance, her carefree presence doesn’t do justice to the people who jump up and down in delirium until the very end, losing their clothes in the process. This slim glimpse of the Homeby6 collective and the Igloo Fest festival gives a thirst for nightlife that will have to be continued another time. Fortunately, this is just the beginning.
