Poltergeist

A fresh take on dark wave!
A Radio France favourite, supported by Tsugi Magazine and the Radio Campus network, as well as RTS in Switzerland, POLTERGEIST's debut album Kämpfer has left no one indifferent, and marks the promising debut of this young producer from the Chalonnais. One of Vitalic's latest protégés, Poltergeist supported him for almost a year.
True to its darkwave and postwave universe, Poltergeist is at ease with progression, changes of rhythm and mood. The slow, dull anguish of the opening minutes gradually gives way to a wind of revolt and anger.
The musician's concerts, almost mystical and enveloping experiences, draw audiences further and further away.
Poltergeist confirms itself on stage, takes risks and proves that its talent goes beyond the walls of the studio by offering a live adaptation of its phono releases!

John Lord Fonda

Techno on the frontiers of mysticism.
John Lord Fonda, pioneer of the French electro techno scene, is as elusive as he is discreet. After a classical musical apprenticeship, he graduated in flute. It was then that the French wave hit him hard. He became John Lord Fonda, and since then has continued to make his mark with dynamic, organic, melodic, dreamlike, powerful and epic electro. Notable collaborators include Scratch Massive, Alan Braxe, Moby and, most recently, Mylène Farmer!
His latest album pushes techno to the frontiers of mysticism. Playing with martial rhythms, mystical voices and saturated, straightforward breaks, the producer offers us a dark, soaring techno album, a veritable mental tunnel from which we emerge soothed and transported.

Coffin

The legacy of cold wave electro and trip hop
Hailed by French critics and awarded the "Découverte" prize at the Qwartz Electronic Music Awards in 2010, the duo also draws inspiration from a host of musicians with twisted and complex worlds, including Black Dice, The Knife, Harmonia and Oneohtrix Point Never.
Unclassifiable, Nicolas and Pénélope assert their love of the experimental scene, contemplative and sometimes disturbing dystopias offering progressive pop from elsewhere tinged with krautrock.
