Since its opening, Rex<\/strong><\/a> has emerged as one of the driving forces of the Paris<\/strong><\/a> scene. Located on the famous Grands Boulevards, next to the movie theater of the same name, Rex Club<\/strong><\/a> is one of the Parisian clubs that has kept a soul<\/strong> and an\u00a0authenticity<\/strong> throughout the ages. It will be celebrating its 30th birthday this year. Its director, Fabrice Gadeau<\/strong> opened up to Xceed to tell us the story of this legendary<\/strong> club.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How would you describe Rex Club in one word?<\/h3>\n

The Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

How would you describe Paris\u2019 nightlife at the moment?<\/h3>\n

It is recovering. The attacks of late 2015 have seriously damaged the nightlife and also the club for almost a year. Things are back in order but the nightlife does not have the craze we had in 2015. The wheel turns, and Paris<\/strong>, which was at the top in 2015, will come back at the next spin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was lucky enough for having lived in Paris during the 25th<\/sup> birthday of Rex. Nina Kraviz and Omar S thrilled the club. What are you going to do to celebrate the 30th year as intensely?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To avoid disappointment and not being able to welcome everyone, we opted for a festival<\/strong> that will take place all year long, and not only at Rex<\/strong> but also outside the walls and also beyond the borders to develop our French artists abroad, the residents of Rex<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

According to your words, no other club has a story like Rex Club. What is the driving force behind this success?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rigor<\/strong> and independence<\/strong>. We decide and we respect our commitments once taken. Rex club<\/strong> is very serious, despite some difficult times we are still here, 30 years later, without having betrayed the music.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you start with Rex Club?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As a party animal, of course, but I quickly became an organizer in 1993, when I organized my first party at Rex: Abracadabra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

What did Rex bring to Paris and what was missing in the capital?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Rex mainly supported electronic music before almost all the others except for Luna<\/strong> and Boy<\/strong>. At the time, few institutions were playing this music. There was a clubbing “prestige” with the baths, the palace, Regina but otherwise, it was mostly “discotheques”. Rex Club<\/strong>, then the Gibus and others changed that by playing something other than the hits heard on radios at the time.<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>Since its creation, what are the distinctive signs of Rex’s identity?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The unique sound system<\/strong>, and since 1995, it\u2019s the best<\/strong>\u00a0club in Paris, according to many people.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We probably know it, but which artists contributed to the success of Rex?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The principal was obviously Laurent Garnier<\/strong><\/a> who took Rex Club<\/strong> to another level with the Wake-up parties at the time, with guests all more prestigious than the others.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the creative risks that Rex has allowed you to take? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

I have total freedom on that side, I can take all the risks that I wish. It’s a chance but it\u2019s also dangerous, there is always a risk… Sometimes It can happen that we take too many risks or not enough.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which parties are you most proud of?<\/h3>\n

Automatik<\/strong>, it was more than 10 years of techno<\/strong> every Friday at Rex. It is thanks to the results of these parties that I produced events with Christian who, at the time of his departure, offered me his position of Director.<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>What are the interesting relationships that you have created thanks to the Rex?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The list is very long, the nightlife world brings together a lot of people very different from each other. Evolving for 25 years in this world has allowed me to meet people from all countries and from all backgrounds. But I do not like the “interesting” side in my relationships, I stay close to the people I love without necessarily having an “interest”.<\/p>\n
