Chloé Caillet details Dance Again EP, reunites with Luke Alessi for “Change” single
French-born, London-based DJ and producer Chloé Caillet has announced a new EP, Dance Again, alongside the release of its latest single “Change”, a collaboration with Luke Alessi. The record lands on 25 September via Ninja Tune.
“Change” picks up where Caillet and Alessi’s previous link-up, the Beatport No.1 “The One”, left off, drawing on the euphoric sweep of ’90s rave culture while swerving pastiche. It follows earlier EP singles “Bad Bara” and the Myd collaboration “Lemme Dance”.
Those tracks hinted at a broader story that Dance Again pulls into focus. Caillet describes the EP as a deliberate attempt to reconnect with the headspace she occupied before she was the one behind the decks. “Every song on this project is a note to a time in my life when I was just a raver on the dancefloor, not in the DJ booth,” she said. “This EP is about reconnecting to the love and essence of why I started making music. It’s about returning to the dancefloor as a punter; going out, listening, and being fully present in the moment.”
That commitment to presence runs through the record’s DNA, threading New York club culture and French touch through the utopian bliss of disco and house that predates the TikTok era. The EP is built as a space to move rather than document, a quality Caillet has been chasing in her increasingly busy live schedule.
The announcement arrives in the middle of a packed year. Caillet has already played Coachella, Circoloco Ibiza, Parklife, and the Met Gala, with UK festival appearances at Creamfields and Lost Village still to come. She recently launched a monthly residency on BBC Radio 1 Dance and continues her long-running Rinse FM slot, while her SMIILE event series - built around inclusivity and shared dancefloor experience - held its third annual Ibiza edition this summer.
