DJ Crapshoot recently caught up with French DJ duo, Polo & Pan, at this year’s Treasure Island Music Festival. Tune in on Tuesday, November 20th @ 7:30AM to hear the interview.
Polo & Pan was born in 2012 after Polocorp and Peter Pan crossed paths in Paris. Paul Armand-Delille (Polo) and Alexandre Grynszpan (Peter Pan) would often meet behind the decks, both residents DJs at the famous Parisian club Le Baron, and both strong believers in building musical bridges between genres and achieving damn good edits.
The former, Polo, draws inspiration from his early travels (his Roudani 434 EP was recorded in the Moroccan Atlas mountains), as well as in the transformation of an industrial space into a place of eclectic creation – the SIRA in the suburban Paris town of Asnieres, along with the collective Mad Agency – which would soon become the home of many contemporary artists and musicians.
The latter, Pan, is influenced by the musical gems that he discovers through his research to feed his almost daily sets, hopping between early 2000 pop music, modern and hybrid electronica, and psychedelic rock from the 1970’s.
The result is impressive, immediately praised by the close circle of DJ fans of electro and disco, remixed by Gramme and Get A Room! The duo is now wanted everywhere: Die Nacht, le Baron, the Opera Garnier and the Nüba in Paris, Villa Schweppes in Cannes, Calvi beaches, clubs in Beirut, Tropico festival in Acapulco, the Clap Ferret festival, among other venues and events.
