Girls Girls Girls is a creative collective founded by Louise Chen and Piu Piu in 2012. United by the same love for music and dance the girls started their collaboration by organising parties at Social Club in Paris where they had a 2 year residency. Believing in the idea that live music and dance music should all be celebrated under one roof, Piu Piu and Louise invited acts like Sampha, Kelela, Mykki Blanco, Kilo Kish, Eclair Fifi, Moxie, Lil Silva, Jackmaster and many more to share the club-stage with them. Their love for the young, underground up and coming acts brought them to hosting Kelela, Brooke Candy and Kilo Kish’s first parisian shows. As DJs , the duo plays a colourful mix of house, soul, disco, techno and on some occasions even R&B and Hip-Hop – today, you can hear each one’s signature blend on Rinse France, where they both have their own show.
