The singer has become a deejay

On november 10, Dave and Steph “played music not to dance to”, to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Saint Martin Bookshop.

They only had one turntable, but looking at some of the instagram reels of the night, they failed miserably to keep people from dancing.

The bookshop made a zine in which Dave and Steph selected about ten books and put together an “experimental” playlist.

It’s now for sale on their website.

“It was in the mid-90s that I first heard the word mashup. soulwax/2manydjs had mixed together some unlikely tracks that, strangely enough, made me want to dance. They opened the door to electronic music for me, and I’ve loved them ever since. I dreamed of inviting them to the bookstore. 

Thanks to Aurélie, David and Stephen stopped by one afternoon. I introduced them to Saint-Martin Bookshop, told them the story of the store, and we hung out upstairs among the books. They love books — they know them well — there’s no doubt about that.
They spontaneously and generously offered to come play to celebrate the bookstore’s fifth anniversary. They selected about ten books and put together an “experimental” playlist. This mashup is what’s printed here.”
