The "Filthy French & This.Is.Sally - Haze" EP is out now on Beatport, so we thought we would have a little catch up with our French buddies FILTHY FRENCH!
Give us a bit of history behind this collaboration with This.Is.Sally…
Give us a bit of history behind this collaboration with This.Is.Sally…
We met This.Is.Sally randomly chatting online back in 2015. We seemed to have a lot in common so one day he flew from Stockholm to meet up and work on some music. We ended up spending the whole weekend in lock down mode in the studio and what came out of it was the title track of our Haze EP. We thought that collaboration was so special that we should each give it our own personal interpretation, hence the final package coming with “auto remixes” so to speak.
Last year you had a track called “Chirp”
released on Dirtybird… How did that come
about?
That's a pretty funny story actually… at
the beginning of last year, we started going through all the unreleased demos
that accumulated in the back end of our SoundCloud account that we’d forgotten
about. When playing Chirp, we realised that track had Dirtybird written all
over it so we sent it as a demo to the label.
A few weeks later we received an
email saying that Claude Vonstroke wanted to play it in his Birdhouse podcast,
and asked about a better quality version. Right at that moment, the computer
where the project was stored started playing up horribly and it was almost
impossible to make any changes to the track without it crashing...we were
nervous about missing our shot but Claude played the demo version anyways,
thinking it was signed elsewhere (he even says in the podcast it’s released on
“Funky”, not sure where this came from…).
We were determined to sign this track to Dirtybird so we hustled with the computer for a few weeks until the track was finally ready. We sent the track back to the label and they replied asking for a second track for a release on the Birdfeed channel. We made the second track “Dirty Disco Bitch” in less than a week and the 2-track EP was released a few weeks later.

What other releases do you have lined up
for 2018?
We have 2 EPs coming out in June. The first
one will be out on Lame Digital, alongside a banging Nick Olivetti remix, and
the second one will be released as a single on Canadian imprint BADLQQK.
The Filthcast is basically a place where we
throw all the jams we're feeling at the moment, as well as unreleased from us
and forthcoming records. We meant to do that for a long time but laziness got
the better part of us...
Finally, feel free to plug anything else
you are up to this year or any DJ/production buddies we should be looking out
for…
In terms of DJing, we'll be playing a
showcase for a HiFi speaker brand called Dali in May in Paris. We will also
throw some beats at the Fête de la Musique in June in Paris. It's basically a
day in the year where all musicians and performers are free to play in the
streets, pretty good fun! Finally, we're pinning down a date to come and play
in Italy with the Ciao Recs family in September.
