Interviews

Salt Queen is the combined force of Magali Van Caloen and Teddy Mars, a duo whose chemistry is as immediate as it is unpredictable. Together, they’re gearing up to unleash a dose of pure, mind-bending energy with their latest release, “Are U Ok”, landing on the ever-adventurous Samples From Mars imprint. The track captures everything they stand for: playful chaos, late-night delirium, and that hazy moment when the club lights come up but your pulse hasn’t quite slowed down. After one particularly wild night out—sweat-soaked, euphoric, and just on the right side of unhinged—Magali leads the way back to her place for the sacred ritual of the post-club wind-down. It’s that liminal hour when the world feels soft around the edges. The lights are dimmed to a warm glow, jackets are tossed over chairs, and shoes are abandoned wherever they fall. Teddy sinks into the sofa, still buzzing, while Magali starts curating the soundtrack for the slow descent back to earth. What follows is a playlist built for that exact moment: the afterglow, the decompression, the shared silence between friends who’ve danced themselves clean. It’s intimate, woozy, and full of the kind of tracks that make the night feel like it’s stretching on forever.
