Free admission

Program built in partnership with Bi:Pole and Les Grandes Tables de la Friche la Belle de Mai
As a geeky teenager, Feroui downloaded DJ sets by Pulp heroines, Aphex Twin clips and cracked DJ software. Fifteen years later, after his first dates, he found himself with his beak in the water because of covid. He moved to Marseilles with a hot USB stick, loaded with strange, percussive house, bass mutations and comforting ambient.
Lithuania’s Monika Zenkeviciute creates mischievous electronic compositions where synthetic experimentation and acoustic exploration converge. Under the short name of Monikaze, the musician lays the foundations of a versatile electronica on which her celestial bird-like voice blossoms, and which she doesn’t hesitate to manipulate with her machines. Starting with a subtle, minimalist approach akin to ambient, Monikaze gives free rein to buzzing bass and heavy beats to reveal an ultra-exciting, danceable side.
Shanghai-born producer and visual artist 33EMYBW draws inspiration from modern and folk dance music and a wide range of visual materials. She has refined a variety of conceptual elements into a form that combines highly personal rhythm and experimental sound designs. In 2018, her album ‘Golem’, (SVBKVLT), received critical acclaim and was voted one of the best electronic albums of 2018 by Bandcamp. After concerts at the Nyege Nyege Festival (Uganda), and at the opening of the 2019 Warehouse Project, Manchester, curated by Aphex Twin, ‘arthropods’ 33EMYBW ‘s third album was released on SVBKVLT in mid-October.
