Schnautzi

cahute surchauffée / radio nova / argent sale

DJing’s very own version of Tom Selleck is once again ready to burst out of his sweat-drenched lounge. Schnautzi, the owner of the Argent Sale label and presenter of the Selection radio show on Nova Lyon, has the unfortunate habit of letting new records pile up in his over-heated shack. But he’s always had the good sense to share his collection at every available opportunity. In the thick haze that smothers his DJ sets, one encounters the tropical sounds of which he’s particularly fond, dusted off with a sprinkling of exclusives from his own label. It would be easier to count the spots on a leopard than the number of timezones, eras and cultures that a few hours of his musical company can straddle. 
This musical lumberjack chops wood with the kind of insolent eclecticism designed to make every one of your erogenous zones tingle. 

His selection of electronic music, synth-powered coupé décalé, sweat-drenched dancehall and grooves lifted from the urban jungle will pad like a cat through your subconscious.
