“Dancefloor Memories” is a new compilation, a love letter to the dancefloor, released on the Swiss label Proxima. Translated through 10 tracks + 1 bonus track, it focuses on the epiphanies had on a dancefloor.

This compilation is curated by Proxima co-founders Audrey Danza and Nicolas Oggier, also of Motel Campo.

The dancefloor, a place of expression, of life is also a curator of our memories. We measure our memories by that which we build there: in the sweat, the touching of bodies, and the music that transported us. These key moments, each completely unique, travelling from ecstasy to epiphany, are the stories told through “Dancefloor Memories”. Drawing their energy from such moments of unprecedented intensity, the tracks have been produced by artists seeking to create that which we all crave: dancefloor memories.

10 tracks including a psychedelic, bewitching and undeniably gripping vision (Trent, Eva Geist), a punchy and percussive, kaleidoscopic and colorful celebration of the dancefloor (Powder, Castro), a futuristic and electro-cataclysmic perception (Neu Verboten, Nicola Kazimir), as well as a melancholic journey (BSS, Belia Winnewisser, NVST) and an introspective vision (Epsilove).

In this compilation, you’ll find regular Cocktail d'Amore DJs, Trent and Powder, alongside Castro from Berlin record store Sound Metaphors, cutting-edge artists from the Swiss underground scene: Neu Verboten, Belia Winnewisser, Nicola Kazimir or NVST, the Paris-based producer Epsilove, Dutch producer and Dekmantel regular BSS (Beesmunt Soundsystem), and the Italian composer, synthesist and sound designer Eva Geist.

The bonus track consists of a remix of Neu Verboten's track by Proxima co-founder and Motel Campo resident DJ Audrey Danza.

The compilation is part of a broader podcast project, created in collaboration with Motel Campo and the publishing house Chahut Media. Season 1 of "Dancefloor Memories" contains 10 episodes: in each one, a guest shares an experience from the dancefloor that has shaped them. This memory is combined with a special track produced by one of the aforementioned producers. The podcast will be available online on December 15 on all audio platforms (Apple Podcast, Spotify, etc.). A special broadcast is scheduled on the Swiss national radio channel Couleur3-RTS next February.
