LOIC PENILLO / THE CURATOR
House music has always been personal.
French House DJ and producer, independent Spotify curator. I built my three playlists around the records I genuinely want to hear and share.
Behind the music
I’m Loic Penillo, a French DJ, producer and House music curator. My work spans the studio, the stage and the pleasure of discovering new records.
My productions have received support from artists including Bob Sinclar, David Penn, MK and Daddy’s Groove, alongside radio plays on BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM.
Chill House, Sunset Grooves and Afterglow Beats reflect three distinct musical moods. I focus on groove, identity, production and a coherent listening experience.
How I curate
For a closer look at the listening and editorial decisions behind my Spotify playlists, read the House music and playlist curation journal. It includes practical guidance for independent artists and a comparison of Chill House versus Deep House playlist fit.
A clear sound
Each playlist has its own energy. I choose music for how it sits alongside the other tracks, not simply because a genre label matches.
Curating across independent submission platforms
Alongside my own Spotify playlists, I review emerging releases through independent music-submission services including SubmitHub, DailyPlaylists, Playlist Oust and SoundCampaign. These channels help me discover new artists and hear different approaches to House music. Every decision is based on musical fit and production; a submission or paid review is never a promise of playlist placement.
For artists contacting me through this website, SubmitHub remains the preferred submission route. Listener discovery is separate: follow the three Spotify playlists to hear the current selections.
Independent choices
Music deserves a genuine listen, but adding a track is never automatic or guaranteed through a paid review.
Something worth sharing
An original groove, strong production or memorable detail is often what keeps me listening.
