POPOF

A native of Paris, POPOF is a renowned techno DJ, known for his pioneering role in minimal techno. He began his career with the Heretik System collective before going solo and becoming an international figure. He has remixed famous artists such as Depeche Mode and Moby, and collaborated with prestigious labels such as Turbo, Cocoon, and his own Form Music label. In 2009, he was voted best new talent at the Ibiza Trophies and became the official sponsor of the Paris Techno Parade in 2013 and 2018.
In 2023, Popof paid tribute to his hardcore roots by releasing a highly acclaimed EP with producer Vezi, 'Linear Damage' (Filth on Acid). Popof then performed with Turbulences at Ultra Miami, on the main Techno stage, the Megastructure, before embarking with Space 92 on a South American tour with Ultra Resistance.
In September, he released his acclaimed 'Maze Distortion' EP on Factory 93, followed in December by the 'Gold' EP (on Patrick Topping's label, Trick) featuring collaborations with Alan Fitzpatrick and Mumbai Science. 2024 kicks off with his latest release, the 'Welcome to the Future' EP (Factory 93) in collaboration with Argentinian producer Mauro Somm, featuring a remix by Julian Jeweil, which entered the Techno PT/D Beatport charts and continues to climb.

Aki Agora
10.15pm - 11.15pm
A fan of live-looping à la Marc Rebillet, Aki Agora takes us on a journey through his ideas, giving free rein to improvisation and surprise, always with a smile on his face. The sound is fundamentally electronic, but just as organic when the guitar kicks in. So you can find yourself in the Tuareg desert with a big kick/bass sound and then head back up towards the Berlin electro/techno afters. You can hear hip-hop instrus like Dope DOD broken to Amon Tobin's heart's content with a saturated guitar or percussion from across the Atlantic, all coated in fat. All in all, a multi-faceted sound that makes you curious and that you can listen to with your body.

PËNDÄMØNIUM
9pm - 10pm
PËNDÄMØNIUM is a long invocation to dance prepared by yours truly, Panda, in his Chalonnais laboratory. Navigating the electronic era of the 90s and 2000s, he'll deliver his esoteric stories in long rhythmic and synthetic journeys, tinged with effects and twists prepared on the spot, for the pleasure of your ears and your dance.
