Nicolas Godin founded the AIR duo in 1995. Having become a major figure in French electronic music (or "French touch") alongside Daft Punk, the band has made a name for itself with catchy, dreamy and richly arranged music. In solo, the musician released his first album in 2015 inspired by jazz and JS Bach. In 2020, he will present Concrete & Glass, which marks a return to carnal and pop sounds, supported on two tracks by the voices of Californian Cola Boyy and Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip.

Tom of England is the project of Thomas Bullock, historical collaborator of DJ Harvey (within the Tonka Hi Fi collective in particular). This year, he released his first solo album on the LIES label, edited by techno producer Ron Morelli. His music navigates between songwriting, club music and the raw sounds of punk and recalls the golden age of New York's avant-garde in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Inspirée par les paysages arides et sauvages de son Irlande natale, la musique de Maria Somerville évolue entre drone et dream pop.

Rappelant parfois Grouper ou Cocteau Twins, les morceaux de la jeune musicienne sont soutenus par des rythmiques minimales qui en décuplent le pouvoir d’évocation. Une musique qui appelle volontiers au vertige et à l’abandon, jamais frontalement expérimentale et pourtant souvent surprenante. Loin de la musique ambient créée au km, Maria Somerville réussit à créer un imaginaire sonore prenant qui devrait faire des merveilles en live.

Maria Teriaeva first played in several prominent indie pop and shoegaze bands in Russia. She attended the Red Bull Music Academy in 2015 and then started writing songs on her own after discovering Music Easel, a modular synthesizer created by Don Buchla in 1972. Her music oscillates between dream pop, ambient and electronica and is steeped in her research work on new instruments and innovative modules in Russia.
