Evenings and concerts

Since 2022, the Retrópico collective has been conducting sonic research, blending the warmth of brass with synths and house rhythms, taking ears into a musical universe as unexpected as it is irresistibly catchy, with a mission to take the groove ever further. Made up of 7 members, two synthesizers and a drummer are surrounded by two trumpets, a trombone and a baritone saxophone. Resolutely stage-oriented, offering high-energy live performances, the Paris-based group performs original compositions juggling styles ranging from techno to jazz to synth-wave. Their second EP, described as dance-house, was released in winter 2024.

Jeremie Nies (guitar/vocals) accompanied by Corinne Picouleau (cello/keyboard/vocals) and Noémie Fallet (vocals/vocals/tom-bass/keyboard). The group Bed offers its powerful pop-folk compositions in an intimate, cocooning and cozy universe, with moving lyrics that echo love, bonds, passion, enchantments and cracks. The band’s songs are influenced by sixties American rock, folk and pop, as well as lo-fi sounds with a clean, contemporary edge. This musical project highlights the love of English sounds, the importance of voices and the beauty of melodies.
