Interview with Dealer de Musique

Hello! Can you introduce yourself? Where is Dealer de Musique from and when was it created? 

Hi! First of all we’d like to thank you for thinking about us for this interview. Dealer de Musique is a French music blog, created in Paris in 2012. Thomas, the founder, managed the blog himself, the Facebook page, and the Soundcloud page during a year. But as he saw the number of fans and followers increasing, on July 2013 he asked Sam for help to research and promote music; Charlotte to manage all the events and partnerships; Camiel who takes care of the interviews and finally Alex who makes awesome visuals and prepares our mixtapes. 

There is a wealth of mixtapes and playlists available on Dealer de Musique. How long have you been creating mixes? What type of music do you tend to feature? 

Sunday’s playlists have existed since the beginning, and once we had a prety important audience, we wanted to show them that we could do more than just sharing music. We tried a first mix on the 12th of August 2013 and people actually liked it, so we carried on making some like each every two months, and we sill receive great feedback! Then in 2014, that idea led to our Guest Mix, made by artists we love, and Hip-Hop tapes called BeaTapes

Tell us about the Dealer de Musique app! 

We are a blog which is active on several platforms: YouTube, Soundcloud, Twitter, Instagram, plus the website. But we wanted people to bring Dealer de Musique everywhere, and we had this free app idea for some time. So we analyzed what this app needed, what had to appear on it… The app has been a success with thousands of downloads on the Apple store, and now we almost have finished our Android version. It was kind of an achievement, and we really believe in this. We’ll improve it again for sure, but we have loads of other things to think about for the moment. 

Do you have anything coming up that we should look forward to? 

Yes! With our first official party, the Android app coming soon, Dealer de Musique sweatshirts made and sold, the creation of an official hip-hop channel.. we reached almost all the projects we attempted in 2014. However, the project is taking so much importance that we are not done with 2014 yet: a big change is about to happen, but we can’t tell you about this… In the near future, we also plan to rebuild the site to make it easier for users, other clothes sales and parties will be planned. 

Thanks Whyd, and awesome website by the way!
