Rising transatlantic duo PVBLIC XCESS usher in the next phase of their heady union as they drop their vibrant, sonically-diverse debut EP via XCESS Records. Eager to collaborate with musicians from around the world, the duo’s EP features Beninese-Nigerian acrobat veteran Kaleta and revered French-Cameroonian afro-disco and soul musician Pat Kalla.<\/strong><\/p>\n

French-American dance honcho Chlo\u00e9 Caillet<\/strong><\/a> and emerging London artist Josh Ludlow<\/strong> <\/a>came together as DJs, pouncing on Pacha<\/strong> with the launch of their XCESS<\/strong> parties alongside Dixon<\/strong>‘s Ibiza residency Transmoderna<\/strong>. Obsessive record-diggers and shrewd selectors, with a taste for decade-spanning marathon sets which dice between disco, electronic, acrobat, house and funk, they’ve since gained steam, playing at Burning Man<\/strong> and Glastonbury<\/strong>\u00a0while taking their bold, raucous and inclusive sell-out parties to Paris, Amsterdam, New York, LA and more recently London with a Fashion Week takeover and spells at fabric.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s Pacha<\/strong>, Fabric<\/strong> or any other haunt they inhabit for a rousing sweat fest, the pulsing atmosphere is persistently high-energy and bliss-inducing. It’s their aim to encapsulate this within their productions; and the EP single ‘Don’t Wanna’ (Get Down)<\/strong> <\/em>sets listeners on the right path with its elevating composition. Tapping Pat Kalla<\/strong> for his vocal heat after devouring his records with much-lauded Lyon band Voilaaa<\/strong>; he delivers a sublime acapella over a pulsating baseline, ascending pads, and wandering keys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Following the single drop, there’s four remaining cuts to blast, all bubbling with fresh ideas. ‘Wale Wale’<\/strong><\/em> is a galvanising track bursting with feverish activity. Produced remotely between Paris, London and New York, it features the much-revered Kaleta<\/strong> – a singer, guitarist and percussionist whose list of accolades includes touring with juju heavyweight King Sunny Ade<\/strong> in his youth and Egypt<\/strong> 80<\/strong>, the legendary band of afrobeat pioneer Fela<\/strong> Kuti<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

‘Sugar Jam’<\/strong> <\/em>is a groove-packed cruiser fit for summer afternoons; a cut that Josh<\/strong> had crafted over lockdown before Chlo\u00e9<\/strong> spun through her organ solo for euphoric reach. ‘C’est Ca’<\/strong><\/em> is a sensuous Latin-influenced stomper guaranteed to inspire dancers to new frenetic heights, and Josh<\/strong> brings his deftness to the EP’s single with a sunny rerun that utilises an 808 drum beat and amplifies the essence of the vocals.<\/p>\n

Beyond fueling PVBLIC XCESS<\/strong>, they’ve been doing damage in all the right corners with their solo ventures. A Circoloco<\/strong> residency between gigs across Europe and the US, Chlo\u00e9<\/strong>‘s been busy on the DJ circuit; as well as dropping her debute single ‘Love Ain’t Over’<\/strong><\/em> at the end of last year and a critically-acclaimed rework of Beck<\/strong>‘s record ‘Chemical’<\/strong><\/em>. Meanwhile Josh<\/strong> has dropped a string of impressive remixes, including a rerun of French DJ Dombrance<\/strong> on London label Gouranga<\/strong>. Both have also continued making a name for themselves in the fashion world with Chlo\u00e9<\/strong> regularly DJing for the likes of MIU<\/strong> MIU<\/strong>, Loewe<\/strong> and more; and Josh<\/strong> opening flagship stores for Dior<\/strong> and Vivienne Westwood<\/strong> in Paris and London.<\/p>\n
