Chloé Caillet

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 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.

Here To Make You Smile, her debut EP on her own imprint SMiiLE Records dropped in November, marking a transitional chapter for Caillet. It’s a package of music that matches the giddy energy of her live sets and wears its cheekiness on its sleeve. Chloé released ‘The One’ with Jocelyn Brown & Luke Alessi on April 11th which secured Chloé her first Beatport number 1. This release is also receiving global DJ & radio support and is tipped to be one of the standout dance records of the summer 2025.
