Blocked at home behind their turntables while waiting for the clubs to reopen, DJs always feel confined. As the coronavirus epidemic recedes in Europe, they are only waiting for one thing: for the party to resume.
To financially support the electronic scene while recreating a link with night owls, a Berlin collective launched United We Stream, a charitable operation that has now become a worldwide movement. Thanks to donations from clubbing lovers, its organizers are broadcasting live DJ sets live on the Internet.
For its first edition in Paris, United We Stream moved to Java (Paris X) where Boom Bass (Cassius), Kiddy Smile, Crystallmess, Miley Serious and Crame came to perform. “Two, three, five months without working, financially it's crazy! “, Worries Hubert Blanc-Francard alias Boom Bass, who can count on the sale of the records of his group Cassius to obtain an income and hold on.
“It's a hard period, admits Christelle Oyiri (Crystallmess), […] for many young artists like me, 2020 was also the year when we really wanted to get started and be more recognized by the profession. "
Following the permanent closings of the VIP Room and Dehors Brut, the artists fear a massacre. "
Especially since behind, we know that at the reopening we will not leave as in 40, […] we will have to redo everything, it will be long, ”says Boom Bass.

"We are going to have health gestures, masks, gloves, which will help keep the public safe, anticipates Tommy Vaudecrane, one of the organizers of United We Stream. But clearly, we will not change the way of partying. It will remain dancefloor, people who find themselves on the dance floor, who live a moment together, sweat and kiss. And that, unfortunately or fortunately today, the Internet does not allow this to be done. "
