He created the Buzz and has been invited to play in many parties such as « Backstage » « Antislip », « Freak N’ Chic » at Batofar, Paris Paris for the « Blow » party and at the Scéne Bastille » for « Happy people only », La Java for the « Save party » or at Queen's for the « Manimalz ».
We Want Dance was born in 2007 with the envy to develop Parisian dancefloors, changing habits, connecting people and especially making them dance and groove on a Happy House and Techno music of quality! Dj Phil Dark, his creator, has thought of a simple concept but different which began in Glazart, an unusual spot with a "beach" in Paris and its outdoor soundsystem!The party evolves in Batofar, open air barge on Quai of Seine, where it took its residence every month for 1 year now. An accessible and opened party for everybody,mixing Dj’s of the electro Parisian scene and international, wich created a musical identity and a real energy.They just celebrated their 4 years Party at Showcase with Lee Foss & Shaun Reeves .
