Today we have a little treat in store for you by songstress and DJ Piu Piu, who has been taking over European dance floors for a few years running now. We first heard of Piu Piu through her affiliation with the the late Youngunz (notorious for launching the very site you’re reading now) and she’s come a long way since then, although she’s been perennially on-point; from her early efforts on Kitsuné to her “B.M.F.” cover bringing tears to the eyes of Maybach Music fans worldwide, she released a free album entitled Nightintale in collaboration with the likes of Ryan Hemsworth, Metro Zu and Bambounou on the production and landed her own bi-weekly radio show on the brand new French daughter station of Rinse FM.
“[Piu Piu’s] slick, high tempo DJ style brings together elements of house, R&B and ghetto-tech with a few surprises thrown in for good measure. It’s club-ready party music that’s right up our street,” write our friends at Vitamins on her dance floor flair, and we are in harmony. In anticipation of her gig at their night at Sneaky Pete’s this Friday (which is also her first ever appearance in Scotland) the Parisienne mixed a small hour of tracks together for all of us to enjoy – and club-ready is exactly how the mix makes us feel. Kicking the mix off with ’90s house and Baltimore Club, Piu Piu then takes us on a journey of a slew of classics and exclusives by Truants principals such as Inkke, Chaos In The CBD, and Peverelist, with plenty of room for the likes of Ty$, Deeon and DJ Milktray in between. This Vitamins mix makes us want to go to the club and tear it up, and we wish we too could be in Edinburgh this Friday more than anything.
