LVRA

To resolve the paradoxical complexity of 'Soft like Steel', the new EP by London-based DJ and producer of Chinese origins Rachel Lu, it is necessary to delve into the mysterious dichotomies between the darkness and anonymity of nightclubbing, the cathartic push of shared strangeness and the The idea that you can chase away your demons by dancing. Inspired by the dystopian spleen of our times and the shadow of a dense cybernetic cloud that overlooks even the most euphoric episodes of her repertoire, LVRA's sound design resonates anthemic and experimental in the wake of artists like Sophie and Grimes, mixing a pop attitude to the most original fringes of deconstructed electronica and R&B.

Rieko Whitfield

At the origins of the multidisciplinary practice of Rieko Whitfield, an artist based in London and director of the @diasporas_now centre, there is a study of speculative mythology that descends from her Japanese roots and investigates the themes of rebirth and healing. Through a combination of meditation, sound, movement and writing, her performances transcend the boundaries between music, philosophy, art and spirituality, revealing a profound sense of interconnection and the triggering of sophisticated collective healing processes.

To Van Kao

Inspired by traditional Vietnamese music and the exuberance of genres such as grime, techno, UK bass and deconstructed club music, To Van has found its balance in an energetic, eclectic and unusual formula, which has allowed it to regularly reveal the scope of his influences on the airwaves of @rinsefrance and within @paradoxeclub, one of the most ambitious and innovative labels and club nights in the new French electronic scene. In addition to his DJ activity, he produces and sings for a multitude of projects and for @ottodiva, a synthwave duo formed with Le Dom who released his debut EP "Quench" in 2023 and who, for a few months now, has been dredging the night routes of the French underground.
