Clément Bazin live

Clément Bazin performing a live set in a Parisian venue called 'La Démésure' (The Excess) feels like a promise of something wonderfully unhinged, and he delivers. This is the sound of a producer joyfully ignoring genre boundaries, throwing disco edits, footwork, and dreamy electronica into a blender. The vibe is eclectic and playful, a Parisian basement party where the only rule is to keep moving. On a technical level, this live show is a thrillingly unpredictable ride, with a BPM range stretching from a languid 102 to a frantic 171, averaging a deceptively steady 125.6.

The keys bounce around from 4B to 12A to 8B, reflecting the stylistic whiplash, yet Bazin's skill as a live performer ties it all together with a sense of mischievous fun. The energy profile is uniquely mid-forward at 0.50, meaning the funky basslines, chopped vocals, and melodic hooks are pushed to the forefront, supported by a solid but not overpowering low-end at 0.44. The transitions are often bold and jarring in the best way, keeping everyone on their toes. The crate digging here is a reflection of Bazin's wonderfully omnivorous taste.

His own tracks, like the sunny 'Come to This' and the wistful 'With You', provide anchors of melodic house warmth. Then he drops the 26-minute chaos of DJ FYS's 'Ya Lalali Speed Up', a relentless edit of Indonesian folk music that is pure, unadulterated dancefloor mayhem. GMB's 'Koala' offers a slice of quirky, lo-fi house, and Fakear's 'Silver' remix brings in ethereal, folktronica flavors. The journey is a wild zigzag: it starts with the catchy, live-house of 'Just Wanna Know', descends into the manic, genre-obliterating peak of 'Ya Lalali Speed Up', and finally cools down with the jazzy, downtempo vibes of KSb's 'Music@!', proving that excess, when done with this much heart, is entirely the point.
