Welcome to the 41st FLOOR [link | free download] Floor to the Four presents a DJ Mix by Carrà (formerly known as Break a Leg), artistic director and programmer of French festival Château PerchÊ, held at feudal castle Chateau de Vaux over two weekends from 25-29 June & 02-06 July. The festival features 6 stages, 400 artists, and 300 inclusive sex-positive workshops.
CarrĂ 's roots are Italian and they were raised in the French Alps before their years in Paris and the last five years in Berlin, where they are currently based. CarrĂ approaches a DJ set the way a curator approaches an entire night. Not as a sequence of tracks, but a coherent arc with weight, intention, and consequence. The same fulfillment they describe in locking in a perfect festival timetable, that moment when the whole that is the dance floor inhales and exhales, moving in unison to the beat. This is the same satisfaction they chase in a single, well-judged progression between two records. There is a particular discipline and instinct that comes from building a festival rather than only playing one.
Rather than building toward a simple peak-and-drop payoff, CarrĂ shapes this prime set like a closing journey through different physical and emotional states. The first half is driven by percussion and bodily response: tightly wound rhythms, propulsion, tension, and movement. Gradually, the mix opens outward. The second half leans into release, communion, and blissful momentum, capturing the feeling of a dance floor settling into collective rhythm after hours of intensity. Softer passages are not pauses but part of the flow; peaks arrive with purpose rather than excess.
An early encounter with artists like Sweely and Leo Pol first pulled Carrà toward the more underground corners of dance. Long hours at Concrete during its defining era and early involvement with promoter friends from Infrason. Organizing parties and playing became the same language. The mix reflects that dual perspective. Attentive not only to track selection but to how energy gathers, loosens, and returns across the mix's duration. They shout out appreciation to artists Creamer & K, IAMBP, as well as the label Multi Culti, and CCL-operated subglow.
Berlin remains central to that philosophy. Beyond the increasingly performative side of contemporary clubs, they speak passionately about the spaces that still operate with intention and etiquette: collectives, DIY venues, and no-phone environments where people are free to disappear into the moment. What matters is what Carrà describes as the freedom to arrive, leave, return, drift between states, and experience something lived rather than documented. They cite Tbilisi, home to Bassiani, Khidi, and a constellation of radio crews with particular respect. A culture built and sustained under a conservative, pro-Russian government that's actively targeted the scene, and that, under that pressure, only grown more committed to what it stands for.
Beneath the mix is also a quieter personal dimension. Carrà speaks openly about exploring both identity and nightlife culture largely alone growing up, long before those worlds became legible to family. Today, their mother attends Château PerchÊ each year, a detail that says as much about the trajectory behind this project as the music itself. In that sense, the 41st FLOOR mix is less a showcase and more an extension of a broader way of thinking about music :: as flow, atmosphere, physicality, and collective release held in careful balance.
