Visiting Le Salon, Lausanne CH.
An exploration of self curated music, consisting of yours truly’s favourite Helvetian Minimal Wave cuts alongside previous and upcoming DDP releases.
La Ferblanterie is a former tin manufacturing plant formerly run by the Pierre Richard tinsmithing company. Situated in the heart of Lausanne, it is now repurposed as a space for creation and events. It includes an artist's atelier, a ceramics studio, a tattoo parlour, a record store, a furniture showroom, an architecture office and shared spaces for other creative activities.
The record store in question is named Le Salon. It acts a sound room, event space, a place to meet and possibly leave with a bag full of carefully selected records by the owners Christian and Samuel.
Within this captivating setting filled with funny characters, music gurus, local artists and great hosts, I got the opportunity to play some music at their store last December. Consisting of some of my favourite Helvetian Minimal Wave cuts, alongside previous and upcoming DDP releases and other eclectic beats. What was recorded is of duration of about 2 hours. Apologies in advance for the improper volume levelling and at times abrupt transitions; I was laptop DJing because my bag was already filled with DDP LPs and cassettes for their store. That, and also because it was my first set where I got to play music and eat raclette in between. Regardless, it is a good batch of tunes to accompany this gray sunsetted weather, whereas my selections was adequately tagged as "ethereal" by Le Salon. How fitting.
Little fact, Le Salon's logo happens to be designed by Chloé Pannatier, the Valaisian graphic designer I had a fun chat with last August.
