In it’s ninth summer edition and its third World Cup! Just like every summer in Sète, there will be plenty of crazy moments to match the excitement over in Brazil.

The first confirmed artists are: LITTLE DRAGON live, SETH TROXLER, EBO TAYLOR live, CONNAN MOCKASIN live, CHASSOL live, MOXIE, KAROL CONKA live, MORPHOSIS, Toshio Matsuura presentsHEX live, SPECIAL REQUEST, MO KOLOURS live, THEO PARRISH live, MAGA BO, DJ RKK, SWINDLElive, RAINER TRUBY, KUAGE live, FOUR TET, FLOATING POINTS, ZARA MCFARLANE live, MICHAEL KIWANUKA live, WERKHA, ANDREW ASHONG live, OSUNLADE, SHIGETO live, JONWAYNE live, JOHN WIZARDS live, SADAR BAHAR, GILLES PETERSON, LEFTO, SIMBAD, GARFLD and many more to come.

For the first three days (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday) after its trademark live shows, the Théâtre de la Mer will be transformed into an open air clubbing paradise, while the St Christ venue (clubbing area) will once again be covered head to toe in lights down by the town’s magnificent lighthouse from Thursday to Sunday, not to forget the opening party at the Paul Valery Museum (Monday) and the Street Party on the cobbled quayside just in front of the CRAC (Regional Modern Art Museum). During the day (Wednesday to Sunday), the Sète beach huts will as usual be the special congregation points for all WF festival goers.

The line-up for the whole week will be revealed in full in the next few weeks. Platinum and St Christ passes are now available. Just like last year, the Platinum pass gives you access to all events at the festival. The St Christ pass gives you access to all events from Thursday to Sunday. NB: The St Christ pass also provides access to the different shows taking place during the day between Thursday and Sunday (beach, aperitifs …)

GILLES  is back in Paris for one of his infamous all day long dj set at the Bellevilloise!

Retour de Gilles Peterson à Paris pour un nouvel épisode de la TEA-TIME, son unique résidence française!

Pour célébrer son retour comme il se doit et quelques semaines avant la sortie de son nouveau projet autour du Brésil, Gilles a décidé de se soumettre a un exercice qu’il affectionne particulièrement (mais pas autant que nous) : passer toute l’après midi aux platines et nous faire voyager, le temps d’un dimanche, a travers tous les styles et les continents… Pour se faire il sera épaulé par un invité mystère, dont nous vous dévoilerons l’identité bientôt…

Start : 17h
End : 02h

Paf : 12€ en préventes / 15€ sur place

A couple weeks back Belgian songwriter Stromae came down to the Brownswood studios in North London to meet Gilles. We decided to film the conversation where the two talk about Stromae’s musical beginnings, early influences such as Congolese rumba and salsa, as well as the role music videos play in his songwriting, discussing the ‘Tous Les Memes’ and ‘Papaoutai’ videos.

Stromae also discusses his cross-generational appeal as well as his future plans, incorporating new influences into the follow up to his sophomore album, ‘Racine Carree’.

Ahead of the fourth installment of the Brownswood Electr*c compilation, we catch up with the artists through a series of questions about themselves. Here we have for you, Novis Jr.

Gilles is back in the studio for another Saturday afternoon mix up selection, joining the musical dots between soul, hip hop, house, afro, electronica, jazz and beyond in his own inimitable style. This week Gilles is joined in the studio by legendary record producer Howie B, to talk about his new album, Down With The Dawn.

Howie has been an influential figure in electronic music for twenty years, producing the likes of Bjork, Tricky and U2. He has also released twelve albums and worked on countless movie soundtracks; Howie’s latest piece of music – co written with Robbie Robertson and Matthew McConaughey – was used on the end titles of Martin Scorsese’s film The Wolf of Wall Street.
