SUNDAY: THE PLAY OFF Official Participants
The big week is finally here! The mobile app will be out any day now, and to commemorate this special occasion, we’ve got an excellent party lined up for you on Sunday to recover from the fête de la musique.
As we mentioned before, we are bringing back the Play Off to call attention to the awesome amounts of curation that are happening on Whyd and the web. We’ve assembled a dream team of participants to go head to head to see who will emerge the winner.
The participants are:
Masscut - central to Whyd’s wellbeing, Masscut helps us organize interviews with artists and is well known in Paris for his scratching abilities, expect him to bring the funk with a special bisou for the ladies.
Julien Pelletier - responsible for the new design of the Whyd blog and one of the original members from the Whyd alpha two years ago, Julien is as hard to predict as he is tall.
Aline & Mika Mikaz - the Whyd power couple, with nearly 10,000 tracks added between them, they are pillars of the Whyd community. Expect them to bring the harder stuff
Mawimbi - The trendy collective of DJs take Africa’s most original music and mix it at their increasingly popular parties around Paris. Don’t forget the flashmob Durban Dance we organized with them a year ago at the Point Ephemere.
DYLTS - The music blog Do You Like That Song? or DYLTS for those intimate with it, presents a selection of nu-disco, chill, indie pop, and house tracks. Prepare for their sunny and groovy selection Sunday on the péniche!
Le Homard - A new music blog featuring playlists of varying levels of cooking: rare for the start of the evening ranging up to well-done when the cooking gets hot. An interesting concept.
The Backpackerz - Webzine dedicated to hip-hop culture. They choose the best of rap news and dissect the evolution of the hip-hop movement through thematic reviews and interviews with artists and activists. You can also find all kinds of hip-hop events and concerts on The BackPackerz agenda.
Anna & The Block Underground - A crew of girls dedicated to hip hop building an upcoming project: The Block Underground. Official site launching later this summer!
Get to know them! There will be jacuzzis, food, innovative cocktails, big screens to watch the world cup games, and of course, some excellent music and curators to pass your Sunday afternoon in the best way possible. Invite your friends!
