Chloé Caillet
Mixmag Cover Mix | House, Balearic, Italo
Another Mixmag cover mix, another excuse to pretend we're on a Balearic terrace at 4pm when we're actually hunched over a laptop at 4am. Chloé Caillet’s full tracklist here is a masterclass in not taking yourself too seriously, a vibe we can all get behind. The space here is pure mental projection: sunset hues, salt air, and the ghost of a Paolo Mosca edit lingering in the breeze. Technically, this is a smooth, low-slung cruise at an average 124.6 BPM, anchored in the warm, inviting territory of 7A.
The energy profile is predictably and deliciously low-end heavy, letting those Italo basslines and Balearic pads do all the talking while Caillet’s mixing stitches it together with a house DJ’s intuitive flow. The harmonic journey is subtle, pivoting between 7A and 12A to keep the emotional resonance high without ever jarring the listener. As a crate digger, she earns her stripes: the Baby Rollén remix of Eris Drew’s ‘I Can Move Move’ is a leftfield opener that sets a playful tone, while the iconic, cheeky pulse of LaTour’s ‘People Are Still Having Sex (Ralphi's Orgasmic Mix)’ is a guaranteed floor-filler. Dropping Claptone & Mylo’s ‘Drop the Pressure’ is a bold, fun move that works, and Tanya Louise’s ‘Deep in You (Rob's Vibey Dub)’ provides the necessary late-night depth.
She opens with that Eris Drew remix, builds to a peak with the unabashed fun of ‘People Are Still Having Sex’, and sends us off smiling with Gabriel Marchisio & Tropicanism’s Balearic-tinged ‘More Days on Week (Ibiza Edit)’. A lesson in joyous, unpretentious selection.
