Last year’s edition of Lyon based festival Nuits sonores featured a strong cast of local figures, both up and coming and usual suspects. We’ve met up with these producers, record shop owners, DJs in clubs, bars, bookstores & neighborhoods they cherish to talk about the places and people that constitute a scene. In this long format video, these “City Guides” share personal stories and anecdotes about their relationship to Lyon’s scenes.

Featuring Dj âMy B, Bernadette, Maghdalene, Mendi, Mush & P errine.

Invited to the Brussels edition of the travelling discussion and debate forum European Lab, we met Judith Depaule, instigator of the Atelier des artistes en exil.
