MEET Podcast 055 Curly Sanchez

For the 55th edition of the Meet Podcast series, we welcome Paris-based artist Curly Sanchez, whose approach to techno is rooted in storytelling, tension, and emotional depth. Shaped by an early connection to music through twelve years of classical piano, Curly developed a refined sensitivity to composition and dynamics from a young age. This foundation continues to inform his work today, where structure and progression play a central role. Beyond classical training, his influences extend into the worlds of rock and experimental sound from the atmospheric expanses of Pink Floyd to the raw textures of My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth contributing to a sound that is both detailed and expressive. His artistic identity is strongly influenced by cinema. Rather than constructing linear DJ sets, Curly Sanchez builds immersive narratives where tension rises gradually, atmospheres shift with intention, and each transition serves a larger emotional arc. Since beginning his DJ journey in 2023, his sound has evolved from groove-driven territories such as Dark Disco and Indie Dance toward a more direct and physical techno approach. Today, his focus lies in a deeper, more introspective strain of techno, inspired by the Berlin scene and artists like Connor Wall, Altinbas, and Isabel Soto. For Meet Podcast 055, Curly delivers a hypnotic and cinematic journey oscillating between shadow and light, driven by groove yet guided by emotion. The mix unfolds with precision, balancing subtle textures and immersive atmospheres while maintaining a strong sense of forward motion. Alongside his solo work, he is also one half of the duo Oiseaux de Nuit(s) with Valérie Crépesse, further expanding his artistic spectrum. This episode captures a refined vision of contemporary techno introspective, evolving, and deeply narrative. Tracklist: 1. Taking Everything Away - Anonymous Artist 2. Edgy - dxrvo 3.
