Iman Janes is part of a new generation of artists subtly and profoundly shaping the Parisian electronic music scene. Immersed in an artistic environment from childhood, she developed an instinctive approach to music where feeling takes precedence over format. Her sets are distinguished by a precise use of textures, ranging from gentle tension to hypnotic flights of fancy. She navigates between genres, blurring boundaries and plunging the audience into a sensory universe that is both mysterious and magnetic.

Having been spotted on the airwaves of HOR Berlin or Let Him Cook Radio, she has managed to take her place on stages such as Marvellous Island, Renate in Berlin, The Industry in Toronto... confirming her presence in both clubs and festivals.

She released her debut EP "In The Bleak Midwinter" in July on Agora Records.

Egna

Immersed in the Parisian scene, EGNA began performing as a DJ there in 2021. With a boundless musical universe, reflecting the cultural diversity that shaped her, she quickly gained recognition and was invited to DJ at numerous iconic venues and parties within the local underground scene, becoming one of its leading figures. She cultivates and refines her style in this environment that resonates with her, passionately championing its values ​​of inclusivity and empowerment.

EGNA possesses a particularly rich and diverse range of influences, and impresses with the precision and subtlety with which she manages to offer a personal and original interpretation. A proponent of an eclectic and nuanced approach, she excels in the art of DJing in the truest sense of the word. Versatile and audacious, she explores the hypnotic and ethereal sounds of deep techno, the driving and tribal rhythms of tech house, the captivating melodies of progressive, and the breaks of electro and breakbeat. Her hybrid and lyrical sets, along with her vibrant and magnetic energy, captivate and energize both dancers and listeners.

GOTIS

Originally from Montpellier and recently based in Paris, GOTIS began her career as an event organizer with the collectives Magie Noire, Dernier Cri, and Brunch Electronik. A DJ and producer, GOTIS has built her musical reputation around a primarily groovy sound, drawing on underground influences. Inspired by the warmth of house vocals and the hypnotic loops of techno, she constantly explores the connections between different styles, creating unique experiences for her audiences, particularly during her residency at Pinata Radio.

Deeply committed to the feminist struggle and LGBTQIA+ rights, she co-founded the Nuit Brune collective with photographer infininegatif in 2022, which showcases female and queer artists. The project challenges conventions to create a space for freedom and creativity, while also promoting the local scene.

Aurélia

An emerging DJ inspired by the Parisian house scene, Aurélia creates sets that are both uplifting and introspective, blending minimal, electro, luminous trance, disco house, and tech house. Her approach to mixing prioritizes groove and storytelling: getting people dancing without being abrupt, gradually leading the dance floor towards brighter, more danceable atmospheres.

Discovered through electronic music five years ago, she has primarily learned to listen for a long time before playing. She spends a lot of time searching for effective tracks, those that naturally make people dance, without needing to add anything extra. What she seeks remains natural: finding the right track for the right moment and the pleasure of listening together.

Just Mayak

A multidisciplinary artist, Mayak enjoys navigating tumultuous musical landscapes, adorning the dark night with touches of light. The intricate rhythms of mental techno are his rudder, while the hypnotic ostinatos of progressive trance fill his sails. His sets evoke the search for a distant, hypnotic lighthouse, sometimes a source of salvation, sometimes a threat.

His heritage lies at the crossroads of two worlds: from a very young age, he was nourished by the Ukrainian folk music of his mother and the Lebanese folk music of his father. He received classical training in piano and operatic singing before developing a passion for electronic music in his adolescence.

For the past six years, he has been involved in the Parisian nightlife scene through the collectives OD, OtterSpace and then Ipséité. A true jack-of-all-trades, he has been able to manage the programming of emerging queer artists, the graphic production, and the photography and video for these recurring events.

Since its beginnings on the banks of the Seine and in the Bois de Vincennes, it has dropped anchor in venues such as the Badaboum, the Rotonde Stalingrad, the 42 Marches, the COX Bar.

Cast off and follow the lighthouse, embark on an unforgettable journey of initiation.

Ataraxi

The balance of the soul, the frenzy of the body.

Ataraxi takes its name from ataraxia, that inner peace that philosophers described as a state of equilibrium capable of persisting even in the heart of chaos. An idea that may seem the opposite of techno, but which nevertheless sums up what it seeks: to create, at the heart of intensity, a moment where the body surrenders and the mind is liberated.

His sets primarily revolve around a broad spectrum of techno, from mental techno to hardgroove, including more raw sounds, with a particular focus on textures and the organic nature of the sounds. He infuses them with multiple influences: Latin rhythms, sensual and queer textures, touches of disco, trance flourishes, or acid lines, in order to construct eclectic, impactful sets that are always driven by the energy of the night.

This same vision led him to found Ipséité, a collective that celebrates the uniqueness of artists and imagines experiences where music, arts and performances meet.

🎭 Performances:

Loan (Flow Art)
IG: https://www.instagram.com/loan_cong/

Loan is a flow arts performer – an art form that combines several movement disciplines such as dance, fire and LED art, object manipulation, and more. Her flow is the convergence of different energies: the martial power of fire, suspended and hypnotic moments with LEDs, and joy and lightness with aerial silks. Thanks to her mastery of multiple apparatuses, she adapts her performances to different artistic styles and venues (day, night, indoors, outdoors, fire, LEDs, etc.).

Katharsis (VJing)
IG: https://www.instagram.com/katharsis.vj/

Katharsis is a visual artist specializing in VJing and mapping. Her work explores the relationship between order and disorder, creating immersive experiences where image, music, and space meet and transform each other.

His practice draws inspiration from various alternative cultures and aesthetics, including the gothic universe, noise music, and the imagery associated with Divine Machine and mechanical, industrial, and experimental environments. These influences feed into a dark, organic, and sometimes chaotic visual language, where digital matter becomes a space for sensory exploration.
