Describing Darius’ music is like trying to gather the infifinitely large and the infifinitely small or thinking music can be as hedonist as introspective. For almost ten years, the very discreet producer feeds us his dreamy music, fifilled with cosmic images. An intense universe revealed through his frenetic live sets and our imagination when we close our eyes, but also through meticulous visuals, photography and graphic design. Darius cultivates his inspirations since his debut in 2012, same year when he meets Cezaire, founder of Roche Musique, who didn’t think twice about offering him to be part of the Label.

The nature of music tends to be more emotional than intellectual. Jazz has developed into a language that is at times intimate and at times wilderness, always layered with life and living. Defining jazz, no single interpretation is sufficient, because it arrives at the heart.
Jazz truly emerges when every spontaneous phrase of jazz is created, when every inspirational motivation is often the result of interactive audience participation. You can think of jazz as a battle of the egos, it’s about facing the moonlit side of your emotions head on, and the so-called best textbook of jazz, that’s a mirror, a prism that shines inside you at all times.
To jam is to improvise music.
In December, there will be some amazing sessions where we see jazz musicians come together, communicate sensitively and fluently in the same language, even if they have never met before.
JAM, the first step to open the door to jazz. Impromptu and communicative, we keep an open heart.

The Hamburg DJ’s unstoppable rise has come with zero concessions to mainstream tastes; since making her name at the legendary Golden Pudel by mixing obscure minimal wave with tough-as-nails throbbers from artists like Front 242 and Luke Eargoggle, she’s made the leap to festival headliner without diluting her style one bit. And in a world of try-hards and self-promoters, Hauff’s edge of eccentricity actually seems to ring true: she claims to have never bought any records as a teenager. She lived off white bread and cheese for months to afford her Roland drum machines. She’s not on social media and she doesn’t have a credit card. Her entire existence seems as refreshingly analogue as her record collection.

Margaux Sauvé’s life has always revolved around music. Born into a musical family in Quebec, she began playing the violin at the age of five. Despite briefly dropping out of music school to avoid missing out on fun, her passion for music persisted, leading her to play the violin in local bands. Later, she ventured into vocal training, believing that a powerful voice was essential for a singer. Growing up, mainstream music on local radio failed to resonate with her until she started creating music during her psychology studies at university, revealing a newfound avenue for self-expression: “Music opened up an entirely new path for me.
