Et voilà! Ready to rendezvous with the most contagious sounds you've heard in a long time? In collaboration with the Toulouse festival,
Les Siestes Electroniques, CTM has invited, from French dancefloor horizons, the rising stars of
Institubes and
Ed Banger Records. As everyone knows, French kids are into Hip-Hop, House and Rock. The mix has been distilled to yield a new and dirty sound, a hybrid punk-electro that has become the hallmark of an underground renaissance, epitomised by shining success of Justice and lablemates at Ed Banger – the hype forge of
Daft Punk manager Pedro Winter – and a slew of fresh upstarts. It’s the new wave of French Touch – sleazy sounds and shirts-off hedonism.
Straight from
Yuksek’s heady tech-hop, Berlin interloper
Jay Haze will knock your socks (and more) off with a solo
Fuckpony, throwing together Chicago kicks and choruses for your booty-shaking, four-to-the-floor pleasure. Next up Freak-House duo
Nôze’s relentless beats, Jazz refrains and love of fine wine will draw you in to their stories and crank you up with their oddball antics. Then, the man behind the sound of French Hip-Hop giants
TTC,
Institubes rising star:
Para One.
Forward to the freshest Parisian Electro-hop sensation,
Uffie, the 19 year old Miami-ite whose lyrics get down and dirty with the Hip-Hop beats of Feadz.
Feadz, better known in Berlin for his
BPitch association with four records to his credit on the label, will be up solo too, and his right hand man
Kazey will follow, spinning from his collection of rare US Ghetto-Tech.
Through an arc of huge synths and thudding kick-drums these artists are gonna bring da house down with a momentum that will take your breath away.
