Delachaux
Delachaux is San Francisco’s sonic evocateur par excellence. His intoxicating self-described ‘big beat burlectro’ style of pouring vintage samples and exotic orchestrations over a barrage of saucy beats has fused a wild carousel of voluptuous voodoo and body-quaking bass that reflect the dilated discos and carbonated cabarets of Barbary Coast nightlife and have made him one of the west coast underground’s most seminal DJ/producers.
As an early pioneer of the retro-electro sound, Delachaux cut his chops as an afterparty DJ for some of San Francisco’s earliest neo-burlesque events. With popular sets that brought infectiously slick beats to ragtime, swing, cabaret, big-band, gypsy, lounge, surf, exotica and myriad global oddities, Delachaux gained local acclaim through monthly residencies at Louche, Anon Salon, and Bohemian Carnival, and subsequently became a perennial musical coordinator for larger annual galas such as Tease-O-Rama and the Edwardian Ball. His 2011 release of Paris Reload EP and 2012’s Sonic Elixir Vol.1 (Dirty Bright Recordings) showcase acute production of his unique style and brought new demand from the festival circuit. Partnering with fellow SF DJ/Promoter Boenobo the Klown, Delachaux established Trapeze (www.trapezesf.com) as the west coast’s largest, most infamous electro-swing party playing host to the genre’s elite DJs and neo burlesque performers from all over the world.
