Party God
Yves Le Togolais
“There are people who play records and there are DJ’s who blow minds.”
That’s how Yves describes himself as a DJ. Never afraid to go too deep, his emotive musical selections are his own therapy. Having grown up on in the motherland Africa, Yves combination of Afro-beat, Zouk, Zouglou music … all which became infused with his own love for both hip-hop and DJ-ing, Yves ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence. Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks… all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.
A very active member of his local community, Yves is no stranger to the ups-and-downs of a small-town music scene. Though he loves playing in nightclubs, patios and special events, his love for music goes beyond the spectrum of mixing tunes.
“For me, it’s all about mood and a deep, hypnotic groove… playing those tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date. “
