Club To Cloud #10 - Le Sucre
Independent stage designer and music journalist Axel Simon explores the stage design of French Nightclub Le Sucre, based on the rooftop of a former sugar factory in Lyon. Should venues like this embrace their “club” identity in the cultural landscape? How can scenography reflect the persona of residents and invited collectives? In this interview, we explore these topics with stage designer Léa Chaix and programmer Pierre Zeimet.
An Interview with Nite Fleit
We sat down with Australian club force Nite Fleit for an hour during Nuits sonores Lab.
A Conversation with QuinzeQuinze Collective
QuinzeQuinze holds a unique position in the French music scene. The five-member band – or rather collective – was born out of a course they took together at art school, which had them create musical and visual pieces every two weeks (hence their name, that can be translated as “fifteen fifteen”). Even today, the influence of their artistic background is omnipresent in their videos, costumes and graphics: they have managed to craft their own universe that is also fed by the Polynesian origins of two band members. We had a conversation after their performance at Nuits sonores on their origins, mythology in their work and car bass in Tahiti.
A Conversation with Ceephax Acid Crew
Meeting with Andy Jenkinson, known to acidheads as Ceephax Acid Crew, felt no different than chatting to an old pal about music production. That’s something to be expected, having watched his appearance on Electric Independence, and browsed his twitter account garnished with both thoughts coming straight from the mind of Sir Phax-A-Lot, and pictures of eight-bit sampling material from the 90s. In this exchange, recorded minutes before his show at Nuits sonores 2022, we talked about nostalgia, graphic synthetisers, animals, and all things Ceephax.
An Interview with Gabber Modus Operandi
We sat down with the Bali-native duo, Gabber Modus Operandi, for an hour during Nuits sonores Lab.
