Paul Nazca is tall and old. Maxime Dangles, young and spotty. Both of them are going downhill. Today, they are back as DANZCA in a struggle to save what is left of their career.
As a pure ‘has been’, Nazca is going round in circles. He’s desperately been trying to mix on three turntables but can never figure out which record is out of synch. Even a pair of Pioneer CDJ 1000 with integrated bpm counter won’t help. The final blow recently came during a warm-up session at the Rex Club in Paris, where people literally deserted the dance floor as he was performing.
Still, Paul Nazca still believes he holds a future, quoting tracks he once released on BPitch Control, Boxer Sport and Giant Wheel.
Maxime Danglas is a young arrogant brat. Make no mistake: ‘Noémie’, which he released on Speicher in 2006, was not at all planned. The kompakt team came across it by accident, after a rather dodgy party. They remembered a track was needed to complete Speicher 39 and knew that they were running really late in their release schedule. They listened to Dangles’ track and decided that it was common enough to do the trick.
Dangles now believes he is a star. He has lost half his friends, including those he has met through myspace.
The rare people who still follow Nazca and Dangles and their agonizing productions reckon this is their last chance. The truth, however, is that this new collaboration is bound to fail. It officially aims at allowing two generations to exchange and at reconciling analog machines and digital plug-ins. In practice however, it is a pathetic excuse for them to meet twice a week to down (olive-oil flavored) beer and crisps.
It would probably have been better if this had never occurred. But their collaboration is underway and a number of EPs, remixes and live performances are currently being put together.
For this, we apologise.
FRENCH BIO:
DANZCA est le dernier coup de poker de deux DJS français en pleine perdition : Paul Nazca, grand et vieux et Maxime Dangles, petit et jeune boutonneux.
Has been total de la scène électronique, Paul Nazca tourne en rond. Il tente désespérément de mixer sur 3 platines mais n'arrive jamais à savoir lequel de ces disques se décale. Les Pioneer CDJ 1000 avec leurs compteurs BPM l'aident à peine à sauver les apparences. C'est lors de sa récente venue à Paris, au Rex club qu'il touche le fond en vidant littéralement la piste après avoir pris une leçon de mix lors du warm-up. Le souvenir de quelques sorties improbables sur Bpitch Control, Boxer Sport ou Giant Wheel l'incitent pourtant a persévérer dans cette voie que tous savent sans issue.
Maxime Dangles, quant à lui, est un jeune con prétentieux et arrogant. C'est par accident qu'il sort "Noémie" sur Speicher en 2006. Au lendemain d'une soirée qu'on imagine de tous les excès, la team kompakt écoutent sa maquette par hasard. Se souvenant qu'il manque un titre sur le Speicher 39 et complètement à la bourre sur leur planning de sorties industriel, ils se disent que ce titre passe-partout en vaut bien un autre. Depuis cette sortie, Maxime ne cesse de se prendre pour une star et a déjà perdu la moitié de ses amis, y compris sur myspace.
Considérée comme leur ultime chance par les rares observateurs de ce genre musical moribond, leur collaboration repose pourtant sur un concept complètement bancal. Une rencontre visant (officiellement) à faire dialoguer ancienne et nouvelle génération, réconcilier les machines analogiques et les plug-ins... mais qui n’est en fait qu’une pathétique excuse pour se retrouver deux fois par semaine et avaler des bières (à l’huile d’olive) et des chips.
Sans doute aurait il mieux valu qu'elle ne voit jamais le jour mais l'ironie du sort en a voulu autrement. Maxis, remixes et lives sont déjà en préparation.
