◇ MEGABASSE ◇ (Efficient Space, All Night Flight, Standard In-Fi, Discos Mascarpone)
Pierre Bujeau is an expert at creating temporary escape zones - musical structures to evade the everyday. Sometimes he works collectively as part of the mysterious French groups Omertà and Tanz Mein Herz. But it’s when he’s on his own, performing as Megabasse, that he offers the most complete break from reality.
His kit is simple: a few bottles of cheap lager, twin Fender amps, and his double-necked guitar. An instrument like this normally signals maximum rockist excess - think Jimmy Page, Geddy Lee, or that dude from the Eagles. In Pierre’s hands, it becomes more like a zither or a dulcimer, producing soft chiming patterns that build against themselves until the sound of the room, passed back and forth between his two amps, starts to blur everything, and we are away in another world. Wait, though - let down your yoga bun and don’t light the palo santo yet. The new space he creates has nothing to do with smug wellness. It’s a rough, do-it-yourself psychedelia, scuffed but hopeful. Not a perfect blank space to be your best self in, but instead a communal dreaming, an uncanny place where all are welcome.

◇ ORION MUSIC WORKSHOP ◇ (Les Disques Omnison)
Independent child of the new European hybrid music, Tom Val (also leading his own DIY label Les Disques Omnison) has been hiding behind his Orion Music Workshop for nearly five years now.
His music seems to wander through a maze of distorting mirrors, avoiding the trap of categorization: folk? industrial? jazz? Out of time, like watching a dreamachine turn upside down in a megalithic enclosure.
Ancient evocations of the flute, detuned synthesizers, pantraditional rituals, fragile improvisations. The filiation with the French experimental musicians of the 70s and 80s (DDAA, Pascal Comelade, Vox Populi come to mind) is never far away, and neither is that with their unclassifiable contemporaries (here and there, we think of Nina Harker, Radiante Pourpre, la Fureur De Vouivre...), a stage set in the bizarre and DIY Hexagon.

◇ RADIO HITO ◇ (KRAAK, Midi Fish)
Across voice and Casio keyboard, Radio Hito creates fantastical, mirage-like songs. Her music is forlorn chanson for the digital age; bringing her haunting and beautiful vocalisations into conversation with MIDI soundfonts and humble-yet-deep casio compositions, a gorgeous simplicity propels her sensitive, mournful music.
