MUSIC VILLAGE

LINE-UP 2025

EBBB

OPENING PARTY

Ebbb’s music was described as a quasi-religious experience even before the London trio released their first EP. Blending booming beats, indietronica, and art-pop, they craft sacred, cinematic soundscapes led by Will Rowland’s ethereal falsetto—sometimes pure, sometimes distorted. Part of Brixton’s Windmill scene alongside black midi and Squid, Ebbb dismantle traditional songwriting to create haunting, visionary pieces like Himmel and Answered. Their debut EP All at once (via Ninja Tune) earned rave reviews, revealing new depths with every listen and confirming their reputation as one of the UK’s most spellbinding live acts.

LÉONIE PERNET

OPENING PARTY

To celebrate her new album Poèmes pulvérisés, Léonie Pernet  — a standout figure in the French music scene — pours her heart out and captivates her audience. A composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, she creates a deeply personal universe, oscillating between melancholy and exhilaration, blending electronic music, pop, and cinematic influences. Following Crave (2018) and Le cirque de la consolation (2021), her third album, out in June 2025, deconstructs pop, fuses poetry with raw emotion, and calls for awakening and boldness, breaking genres and forms with genius and a touch of melancholy.

CHLOE

DJ SET

Chloé is a major figure in electronic music a pioneering and versatile artist capable of turning every DJ set into a unique experience. Since her early days at the legendary club Pulp, she has championed a cross-genre and emotional approach, blending minimal techno, psychedelic house, and new wave. Her productions such as The Dawn, Mars 500, and Night Rider, along with remixes for Metronomy, Etienne Daho, and Feu! Chatterton, as well as her label Lumière Noire Records, all reflect her singular vision.

As a composer for film (Arthur Rambo by Laurent Cantet, and the upcoming Le Gang des Amazones by Mélissa Drigeard and Gourou by Yann Gozlan), theatre, and dance, she also took part in the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Winner of the 2022 SACEM Grand Prix for Electronic Music, Chloé continues to blur the boundaries between club culture, stage performance, and contemporary art.

ANORAAK

Composer, singer, producer and DJ, Anoraak emerged from Pony Pony Run Run and the Valerie collective as a key indie-dance figure. With 100M+ streams, music featured in Netflix series and tours across 25 countries, he crafts a bright blend of disco, italo and electro-pop. Following the success of Gang with Sarah Maison, he now unveils his fourth album, alongside numerous EPs, remixes and collaborations.

ADÉS THE PLANET

ACOUSTIC CONCERT  

Adés The Planet stands out as a singular artist, constantly balancing strength and vulnerability — a duality she defines as her “Sensitive Bastard” identity. A self-taught musician, she began composing her first tracks in 2020 before making her mark in 2024 with two acclaimed EPs, Je pleure en dansant and Un très bel enterrement. Her first mixtape, Batârde sensible, marks a turning point: an audacious project that blurs the lines between trap, pop, and rock, where she opens up without filter about her doubts, heritage, and personal stories. Inspired by icons from Dr. Dre to FKA twigs, she crafts a hybrid, cathartic sound — raw, sensitive, and deeply human.

LINLIN

CLOSING PARTY  

LinLin blurs the lines between rap and electronic music. Driven by raw energy and a unique aesthetic, she crafts a hybrid universe where electronic pulses and sharp flows intertwine. Her debut EP The Espers and the single Kiss X3 immediately established her artistic identity. In 2025, she returns with Contact and Boogeyman, confirming her evolution and presence on the contemporary scene. LinLin embodies a new generation of artists who push boundaries, balancing depth and energy, intimacy and intensity.

YOA

INDUSTRY VILLAGE 

Yoa, Franco-Swiss pop-electro prodigy, blends raw energy with sensitivity. Her songs, deeply personal and generational, tackle mental health, violence, unconventional love, and strong friendships. A dynamic performer and singer-songwriter-producer, 2025 Stage Revelation, she captivates audiences with her unique personality. After three EPs, her debut album La Favorite in three parts balances dance and intimacy, pop and electronic, combining hits and ballads, with virtuosic, sincere, and contemporary songwriting exploring emotions, identity, and transformation.

CRAYON

DJ SET

A Paris-based artist blending genres with emotion and finesse, Crayon stands out as one of his generation’s most sensitive producers and songwriters. After working with Josman, Dinos, and Prince Waly, he now unveils Home Safe, his debut album out October 24 on Erased Tapes Records. Featuring Home Safe with Yamê and JPL (Tora), and Diamond Miner with FKJ and ELIZA, this intimate and collective record explores the idea of home as a creative space — a warm, soulful journey through sound, texture, and emotion.

THE REVELATION FEMALE FILM MUSIC COMPOSER AWARD

Les Arcs Film Festival, committed to the themes of gender equality and diversity, in partnership with the Lab Femmes de Cinéma and Sacem, was very happy to deliver the 2025 "Revelation Female Film Music Composer Award" to Léonie Pernet.

Composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Léonie Pernet has developed a deeply personal musical universe, oscillating between melancholy and exaltation, at the shifting crossroads of several genres (electronic, pop, film music, etc.). After Crave (2018) and Le Cirque de Consolation (2021), two albums widely acclaimed by critics, she will release her third opus, Poèmes Pulvérisés, on Crybaby and InFiné in June 2025, in which she calls for awakening and change.

An established artist, she has composed the soundtracks for the series H24, 24 heures dans la vie d'une femme (2021) and Culte - 2Be3 (2025), and composes for cinema, notably for the films Brûler pour Briller (2023) and Magma (2025).
