FFYS x BROKENBEAT x SNEAKERS x AMALIA x DTRP

First of all, thanks to the 650 people who came to the last FFYS party, we really appreciate the love and support you all gave to us ! It was actually the first time that we invited a brokenbeat vocalist, so I'm honoured to introduce you Amalia, a fresh and bouncing girl ! Opolopo her producer and boyfriend was also there to support her. During their show, Amalia called me to come on the stage for doing a jammin' together on the Kaossilator, we really enjoyed ourselves ! The brokenbeat scene is not really yet present in Switzerland, the show was no doubt a gift for us, a big shout out to these lovers !

Our sponsor DTRP (Do The Right Print) have designed for us a new wicked t-shirt especially for the party. They are big fans of sneakers, most of the others t-shirt series are created around the sneaker. Please visit their website, they kill !!! Thanks again for dressing us up !

TOKI THE MONSTA !

Tokimonsta was in town last Thursday for giving us an incredible live, it was so sick ! We were spoiled by her beats & remixes. Of course, all the boys crushed on her ! Normal, she's really sweet, beautiful and definitely a "monsta" !!! She was here for a short stay, but we had a lot of fun together, too much partying (Jägermeister) !

I would like to thank Toki for coming, I hope you will come back real soon... Enjoy the rest of your tour ! And big up to Chief + the staff.

Pictures and videos are coming soon...

FOOD FOR YA SOUL WITH DJ VADIM, YARAH BRAVO & FAE SIMON

Last Saturday, we had the most amazing show ever... My girl Yarah Bravo was in Switzerland to rock with my FFYS crew, dj Vadim and Fae Simon. The party took place at the Hacienda in Sierre, it was sold out !

Actually, the story is that it was the first time that Yarah did not a show with her man Vadim. Usually they're rocking shows together, but this night they did separately their own live but in the same club... Vadim played with his band and Yarah brought Fae Simon which is a beautiful and great singer from London (we have to mention that it was her first international show !) and the super cute saxophone player Lorenzo.

The two girls, Yarah and Fae have performed for the first time together and it was a good combination between them, the perfect match ! I know that I'm always saying "it was the first time, blablabla"... But for real, it was a brand new party ! During the show, we did a freestyle, Yarah on her Vestax drum machine, Fae on the mic, Lorenzo on the sax, Chikano on the scratch and I on my little toy Korg drum machine, it was totally improvised and so deep... Damn, the people wanted more after we done the concert ! We felt lots of love and good vibrations, the atmosphere was really WOW !

After that, the royal dj Vadim slapped everybody with his band and dj set !

BEATS & FACES BY ALICE DUFAY

Alice Dufay is a talented illustrator from Caen (France). I was first falling in love with her stories "Le temps s'écoule à la vitesse d'un escargot" before she made it as a book. There is some pretty and funny daily stories where everybody can find oneself inside.

She created lately a project that I adored, "Beats & Faces" ! Alice drew some portraits of beatmakers and dj's which are really beautiful and personal, it's the Alice Dufay's touch ! She also reproduced my face... Below, here are some of her works.
