Chlo\u00e9 Caillet has become somewhat of a sensation in the dance music scene. The French DJ \u2013 who grew up between Paris, Bristol and NYC \u2013 made waves when she was personally commissioned to remix a song by Beck, delivering an addictive, house take on his hit track \u201cChemical.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2023, however, Caillet truly found her stride and enjoyed her busiest year yet. The DJ clocked performances globally, from the Brooklyn Mirage to H\u00ef Ibiza and Fabric in London. She also released her long-awaited debut EP, Intro<\/em>, on CircoLoco Records. Most recently, Caillet linked back up with CircoLoco to headline their Halloween weekend show in New York.<\/p>\n

In a new interview with Hypebeast, she talks about her headlining performance, her globetrotting schedule and a recent collaboration with French Caribbean band Kassav.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just last month, you put out a rework of the French Caribbean band Kassav\u2019s \u201cEn Balate,\u201d following an edit you did of another one of their tracks, \u201cDoudou.\u201d As a producer and DJ, so much of your work is essentially reworking music to transform it into something totally different. How do you envision the relationship between remixing work from other artists versus creating a song from scratch? What do those different processes look like and how do they compare?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remixing and creating from scratch are like two sides of the same coin. With remixing, like with my rework of “En Balate,” I’m trying to enhance and shine a light on elements of a track that resonate with me while adding my own touch. It’s about respect for the original while infusing it with my creative energy.<\/p>\n

Creating from scratch, on the other hand, is like painting on a blank canvas. You’re sourcing inspiration from within, your experiences and the world around you. My musician’s brain gets to play with melodies, textures, and layering from the ground up. Both processes are fulfilling but in different ways.<\/p>\n
