Joris Delacroix live
Rooftop Piscine Molitor in Paris, France for Cercle
There is nothing quite like a Parisian rooftop gig to bring out the absolute worst breed of VIP techno tourists. These are the 'spiritual experience' merchants sipping €25 Aperol Spritzes, holding their phones up to record the sunset while completely ignoring the DJ right in front of them. Suspended above the iconic art-deco pool at Rooftop Piscine Molitor, the golden twilight creates a lush, cinematic backdrop for the effortlessly chic crowd. For the heads paying attention, this Joris Delacroix live set is an absolute masterclass in melodic restraint.
Gliding smoothly at a 123 BPM average, he relies on 5A and 5B key progressions to weave a deeply emotive Rominimal tapestry. The mixing is long and fluid, crafting an energy arc that feels less like a rave and more like a curated sonic journey. A deep dive into the Joris Delacroix Rooftop Piscine Molitor tracklist reveals some proper sorted gems. He effortlessly works in Jiggx - Some Sophisticated Name, a cheeky groover that manages to make even the stiffest Parisian nod their head.
The journey begins beautifully with the opening track, Joris Delacroix - Routine, instantly establishing a hypnotic mood. The absolute highlight is when he drops Joris Delacroix - Start the Engine (feat. Ornette), sending phone torches flying into the air, before bringing everyone gently back down to earth with the closing track, Joris Delacroix - Air France.
