Mona’s second anniversary saturday 20.02
To tell the truth I wasn’t really sure about making a big deal about mona being two years old. It didn’t really seem to be a very big figure, but a friend pointed out to me the other day, that the longevity of a night should be measured on a human scale in the same way as we work out a cat’s age. It is indeed hard to keep a party thriving and exciting, you need to keep things fresh regularly by renewing yourself and your music and by making sure your people are always having a good time. So I decided to go along with the fuss in the end … mona is 18 then, about time she became an adult.
Like last year we’re inviting a many past djs as we can to come down and play. Last year we had 12, this year it should be more than 20, 25 in fact – this includes the actual members of the mona crew (fred, moh and carlos) who will like the rest be playing between two and three tracks each between 1130 pm and 330 am. Considering the large spectrum of djs present we should cover the best of the last 30 years of dance music from original soul to future minimal techno. In three hours with over 20 djs it should be a more than interesting soundtrack to the night. I’ll take over the second part from 330 am onwards, I still haven’t quite worked out how I’m going to approach the night, but I’ll definitely include the tracks that have gone down the best with the crowd at mona over the past 12 months.
Here’s a lovely article written by my friend Aïcha about mona. Aïcha is one of France’s leading disco djs and runs the excellent disco queer night. Very well schooled in the genre and excellent mix master we simply could not resist inviting her down to play for us. You should be hearing more of her out and about Paris this year and deservedly so! And if you come to mona this saturday then you may well catch her again!

Nick, I’m a secret fan for many many years. And even if my friends may think I’m kinky, I’m too shy…
Maybe you’ll see me on saturday night: I’ll be the purple dress dancer…just for you.
