RONI

Head of Nehza Records, DJ and relentless raver, RONI is a brainchild of Rinse France. Her sound celebrates rave and underground club culture of the 90s. Earning recognition from Rinse France since the first day of her residency, the Parisian-Malaysian DJ has followed an upward trajectory deeply rooted with the station with a bi-monthly show that travels between techno, breaks, bass & jungle. 

Since the birth of her own imprint Nehza Records in 2021 with an attitude that questions social constructs and our relation to nature, Nehza Records poses questions about our natural environment through the medium of sound, raising awareness of our connexion to nature and how we need to protect the Earth.

Below, RONI shares her day to night guide to Paris. 

This is the second address in Paris after Lolo Cave à manger, down my house. Beautiful set up, amaaaazing food and quality natural wine. I’m in love with that place, I feel everything is perfect I just love it! Lolo will make you cosy. 

Fancy a cool outdoor place outside of Paris with good food and natural wine? Head to Kiosque Contours in Clichy. Former Machine du Moulin Rouge artistic director Marc Resplandy brought that cool place to life, with chef residencies, and good music!

If you fancy good food, natural wine and a nice listening session, head to Bambino. They have a beautiful and really good sound-system and fantastic music library.

For the natural wine lovers like me, this is a great wine shop located between 2 of the best restaurants in Paris Le Dauphin & La Chateaubriand.

This is a treat you have to give yourself. The chef Daniel Morgan is absolutely incredible. If you’re looking for incrediiiiiibly good food you won’t regret it. It’s a menu but really worth it and great natural wine. Book in advance it’s always full!

That is another cool natural wine address located. Ask for Alex, he’ll take care of you!

I’ll start my journey in Paris with music. That’s really important in a trip, it gives the tone of the city I feel. Dizonord is a cool record store that has a lot of rare records. They have an address in Paris and Marseille too.

I kind of was born there as a DJ, so this is a very important place in Paris where all the French underground scene of France gathers. It’s also a community and a family place :) 


That’s another one I often like to dig, I know Blaise who's been running the shop for a year and he also has good stories about the records to share. They are specialized into electronic music and more specifically Detroit influenced, but also get the cool new releases.


When it comes to clubbing I often go there, they have a very accurate and interesting programming and I did my first gig in a big club there actually :)

We all love to do some shopping, especially in Paris. I love to dress up and style myself but with Climate change I try more and more to buy sustainable clothing and Snow Bunny is the place for cool vintage. Victoria the owner is the queen of fashion and knows her thing. Every creative mind of Paris kind of dress up there. There’s always an unexpected piece you’ll fall in love with.


That’s a bit of my HQ, they opened a year ago and it feels like an Oasis of calm in the craziness of Paris. I do my sport, sauna, brainstorms and meetings over there. Perfect place to treat yourself.

12 Spots in Paris You Need to Visit, Chosen By RONI

Sylvere

Known for his global blend of UK funky, dancehall, grime, body-moving techno and Francophone Afrobeats, the Trax Couture and Sans Absence affiliate has been creating a buzz across the Parisian nightlife scene.

Born to a Martinican father and French mother, Sylvere was raised in Paris and has roots in the West Indies. Across the airwaves, you can catch him on Rinse France, and in Paris you can find him at his residency at the inclusivity-focused club night La Créole.

Sylvere's heavyweight sound pulls from his heritage and Caribbean sound system culture in particular, which he demonstrates across his three-part EP series for Monkeytown Records. While 

saw him explore dancehall-flavoured belters and kinetic, off-kilter sonics with playful melodies, his latest release, 

sees the Parisian producer drill down into a punchier, darker sound that's built for those late (or early) hours across cavernous dancefloors. The bass pressure scorches and heaves harder, but tracks such as 

show his flair for creating brighter textures too.

The producer is an artist whose vision extends beyond France. However, he certainly knows where the best raves are in Paris too. From old stations to chic David Lynch-designed spaces, Sylvere highlights his top five clubs.

The techno temple since the 90s, next to the Grand Rex of Paris. An excellent programme for techno lovers, bass music and more. This is where I recently did my 'EP3' release party alongside Ehua, Low Jack and Le Diouck.

Based in Pigalle, this is a massive club under the Moulin Rouge. From a DJ's point of view, for me, it's one of the best clubs in Paris. I love playing there, whether it's in the main room or the basement.

This club is located in Montreuil, just outside Paris. I couldn't fail to mention this club because it's where the official La Créole parties take place. Now there's also the Machine du Moulin Rouge. Let's face it, the sound system is far from exceptional, but events are cool and the atmosphere is nice – especially at La Créole nights.

One of the most underground clubs in Paris, this one is an old Gare station on Paris' periphery. The festival offers a cool and eclectic programme.

Finally, the famous club designed by David Lynch. The entry can be selective, the sound is pretty good and the design is worth a visit. This one is often the club where fashion week events take place.
