While the world’s online, Chloé Caillet’s in the club. Her music and kaleidoscopic DJ sets recall

utopic rave histories of the past: dance factories, the Balearic bliss of the ‘90s; a time when

smartphones didn’t mediate the clubbing experience. Caillet’s music encourages your full

presence, your phone deep in your pocket.

Within just a few years Caillet, a DJ, producer, multi‑instrumentalist, has become one of

dance’s most vitalizing forces. In 2024 alone she logged tens of thousands of miles playing sets

and curating global communities with SMIILE, her queer‑centered club night. From playing

B2Bs with Jamie xx to closing the terrace at Ibiza’s Circoloco with Kylie Minogue in attendance,

Chloé Caillet has become your favorite pop star’s DJ, your favorite DJ’s DJ, soon to be your

favorite, too.

A musician first, Caillet brings her near‑perfect pitch to the decks. She mixes in key, thinks in

textures and tonalities—fifths, thirds—and instinctively knows the sounds that will mesh

The rest of it — 15 more paragraphs

together best. Always at least three steps ahead of the track, she creates fine musical details

within her sets, setting up perfect harmonies on the fly. Her layering is subtle, but if you lean

closer you her years of classical study; her background in improvisational jazz.

Initially drawn to rock music, she played keys and bass in a small psychedelic outfit named The

Clockwork as a teenager in Paris. Throughout her adolescence she performed in an array of

blues, garage and alternative rock bands across Paris and London before ending up in the

dance music space during Ed Banger’s most prolific era. By the time she moved to New York

City in her early twenties, LCD Soundsystem and DFA Records had overtaken the scene with

their dance‑rock revival, inspiring Caillet to carry over her prog credentials into her first DJ sets.

Initially drawn to production through her background in A&R, she quickly became a sensation

in the NYC dance music scene, playing and creating rock‑embellished electo reminiscent of

Greg Wilson’s early mixtapes, and later inspiring Beck to personally commission her for a remix

of his track “Chemical” in 2021. As her star began to rise further, Caillet gradually moved away

from her proggy roots and towards groove‑heavy house. “But I’ve definitely been feeling a pull

back to my roots lately,” says Caillet.

Their rooms

One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.

Aug 2023Jan 2027

Once each: Knockdown Center, H0L0, Brooklyn Mirage, The Chocolate Factory, Bldg 293 - BK Navy Yard, 99 Scott Ave and The Glasshouse. One of the 15 listings never named a room, and is not counted as one.

Who they play with

Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
