CIVILIAN 雜誌這次提到了French Kiwi Juice AKA FKJ,裡面主要介紹了一下 FKJ 的早期經歷以及他和 French House 的關係。其實他的風格跟French House關係不大,所以別總是把 French House 的標籤下在他身上了。
上世紀90年代,French House曾經是歐洲俱樂部文化的重要組成部分。在Daft Punk以及Bob Sinclar的推廣下,French House 逐漸為人所知。而在2005年前後,隨著音樂趨勢與人們品位的改變,French House 的影響力逐漸消散。如今,在音樂榜單上銷聲匿跡了近十年之後,這種風格的House音樂又捲土重來,在全球範圍內吸引了大批粉絲與派對愛好者的目光。在這場法式音樂復興浪潮的中心,正是現年28歲的藝術家French Kiwi Juice,以下簡稱FKJ。
Choose your favorite minor character. Write a day in their life
Adam Bayer because I’m garbage.
This is short and I am sorry.
Adam wakes up to his phone ringing. It’s six in the morning and he’s already wanted at work. Maybe they won’t keep him so late this time- but there’s a new shipment of oranges in, so he doubts that.
He drives slowly to work, singing along with the song on the radio and parking his car in the back, almost instantly given orders by his boss and being put to work for the good part of the day.
Thankfully, he’s let off work in time to pick Richard up from the radio station, the two of them going out to talk over dinner and driving around until well into the evening.
By the time he gets home, it’s nearly midnight, and he nearly collapses into bed after showering, setting an alarm for eight, even though he knows his boss will call him exactly two hours before that.
In which Intern Richard takes Adam Bayer on a picnic date. There are expected storms.
“You sure this is a good idea?” Adam asked, looking away from the open window of Richard’s truck to face his boyfriend as he got the blanket and picnic basket from the back seat.
“What could go wrong?” Richard asked cheerfully, getting out of the car and going over to the other side to open Adam’s door for him, then taking his hand and leading him out into the sand wastes.
“Looks like it’s gonna storm...”
Almost as soon as the words left Adam’s mouth, there was a crack of thunder in the distance. Richard shrugged, letting go of Adam and spreading the blanket over the sand, then setting the picnic basket in the middle of it. They’d been planning this for nearly a week, he wasn’t going to let a little rain ruin that.
Adam snorted teasingly and rolled his eyes, sitting down and pulling Richard down with him. “You’re impossible, you know?” he said, reaching into the picnic basket and pulling out two sandwiches, handing one to Richard.
Richard laughed, leaning over to kiss Adam’s cheek and taking the sandwich, but no sooner than he had taken a bite did it start raining. They ignored it at first, eating and talking about their days, but within a matter of minutes it went from light sprinkling to absolutely pouring, and, well, it was a bit difficult to eat in that.
Packing everything up and putting it in the back of the truck as quickly as they could, the they then drove back to Richard’s apartment, laughing the whole way.
“Maybe we should try again some other time?” Richard suggested, grinning as he pulled up outside the Ralph’s.
Adam nodded, leaning over and giving him a quick kiss before getting out of the car. Next time sounded good to him, anyway.
