Playlist of the Week: Folamour

Folamour

Sept 18, 2024

The free-spirited French house music prodigy Folamour ushers in the arrival of his new "Naarm's Sunset" single by handing over his best track selections for a dance music session at sundown with our latest Playlist of the Week.

Hey everyone, Folamour here! This playlist is a selection of tracks I’ve loved playing all summer! My favorite time to play has always been during sunsets, so I kept in mind what should be the perfect playlist for you to listen to at that time of day — when colors are magnifying the sky, with the sun slowly fading into the night. I hope you’ll enjoy it, fam!

Folamour - Naarm's Sunset [FHUO / All Night Long]

I wrote this song as a love letter to all the magical moments I experienced on stage in Australia. Playing music there always felt like something else: a mix of energy, love for dancing, emotions, and unity. I tried to channel all these things into "Naarm's Sunset."

Roosevelt - Ordinary Love (Folamour Remix) [Counter Records]

This is a remix I’ve played very often during my last summer tour. I’m a big fan of Roosevelt’s work, and I’m glad to be part of his journey. It is a super intense track that begins very slowly, and then something happens that takes you on a dance.

D-Stone - Total Unison [Cecille]

I think "Total Unison" is the perfect track to start a set. I started my last boiler room with it, and it directly set up the crowd on a funky journey. I made my own version of it, adding a poem I wrote for Manifesto on top, and it’s been my intro all summer long on big stages — the perfect entrance to tell my story.

David Morales, Slikk Tim - BRING THE FUNK [DIRIDIM]

I play this song almost every gig since I have it on my USB key. It fits perfectly with any vibe I want to create during my sets. It's a pure banger that sits at the crossroads of many genres.

Folamour - Pressure Makes Diamonds [All Night Long]

"Pressure Makes Diamonds" is about all the young people struggling to find their place in the world nowadays. It’s a tough time; it can be hard to stay hopeful about the future, about our place in society, and how we can help change it, but through that comes the unity, the community we build around ourselves, and the strength we have when we gather.

The Trammps - I've Gotta Stand Up (Brand New Man - Dave Lee Garage City Mix) [Z Records]

I love the energy of this track. It has pure '90s house music influences all over it. It's a great one to start switching to a more energetic vibe when the sun fades away.

Fimiani, Fab_o - Disco Music [Toy Tonics]

As mentioned in its title, this track is a pure disco banger. The vocals are very stubborn and it directly sets up a disco mood!

MLF - Fell in love in a Club [House Of Love]

MLF is a french producer signed on my micro label House Of Love. "Fell in love in a Club" is an old-school trance-influenced banger and when the piano comes in, I always get emotional. Definitely the fastest song I play.

Born To Funk - Souma Bana [Soulfuric Trax]

I really love the energy of this track — the groove, the bassline, the vocals. I play it often to bring something different during peak time. It sits solidly on the boundary between funk, afro, and house music.
