MobyBerlin’s Paul Kalkbrenner has charted a career path like no other. A techno talent, who over the course of two decades has emerged from the underground, to top charts, act in and soundtrack a movie, headline festivals and amass millions of fans, all while refusing to compromise his grand techno sound.
Kalkbrenner is synonymous with dance music, he came of age in a golden era for techno, turning twelve when the Berlin Wall fell, and spending his teenage years raving, before starting to DJing and collect records as electronic dance music’s first tidal wave spilled throughout the city. He realized early that DJing wasn’t for him, and has focused on producing and playing his own music live ever since.
Though he rose to popularity in the peak of techno’s ‘Berlin era’, and his early career was associated with Bpitch Control, his fan base was never confined to this scene. By the time he played the lead in the seminal movie ‘Berlin Calling’ and its soundtrack smashed records across Europe he had already released multiple albums (Superimpose, Zeit, Self) and built a significant following globally.
With a catalog that now includes eight albums, over 137 individual tracks and numerous remixes, Paul is one of the unique electronic artists who can deliver the ebb and flow of a dancefloor journey using only his own music. His transcendent live performances have seen Paul break down traditional electronic music barriers, headlining festival and
arena stages typically reserved for rockstars. He was the first techno artist to play Tomorrowland’s typically commercial main stage, and was invited by the German Federal Government to perform to 400,000 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
After creating his own label in 2009 and releasing two albums and a live documentary, Kalkbrenner signed to Columbia Records in 2015. He was the first artist to be given unfettered access to the Sony Legacy vault, enabling him to rework previously-unsampled icons like Luther Vandross and Jefferson Airplane on his album ‘7’. In 2022, after leaving Sony, Paul will again release music independently.
Traditionally known as an album artist for much of his career, releasing eight LPs, registering 3 No.1 overall records and entering the Top 10 overall charts in 10 countries and selling 1.5 million units, Kalkbrenner has experimented with other formats including a viral mixtape compilation (Back To The Future - downloaded upwards of 3 million times), and more recently a spate of singles, No Goodbye, Speak Up and Parachute.
His seminal single Sky & Sand continues to hold the German singles record for most weeks at #1 (121 weeks). Despite the major releases and mainstage performances, Paul’s career remains intertwined with techno. He is a figurehead and pioneer in the electronic music scene, an uncompromising artist who has endured despite dance music’s fickle trends and obsession with the new. -

Charlotte CardinBorn in Montreal and based in Paris for the past few years, Charlotte Cardin shines on the global stage thanks to her striking authenticity and emotional depth. Named Billboard’s Global Woman of the Year in 2025, the Canadian singer-songwriter has amassed hundreds of millions of streams worldwide, confirming her remarkable international reach. She has graced some of the world’s most renowned stages — from Bonnaroo to Festival d’Été de Québec to Les Vieilles Charrues — earning praise from major outlets such as Harper’s BAZAAR, W Magazine, TF1, and Le Parisien.
In late 2024, following a triumphant sold-out show at the Zénith de Paris and a standout performance on Star Academy, Charlotte was thrust into the spotlight with the single Feel Good. The song quickly became a true phenomenon, standing out as the most-played track on French radio and television. It sustained over three million weekly streams for several weeks and earned Platinum certification.
Released in 2023, Charlotte Cardin’s second album, 99 Nights, marked a major turning point in her career. The project brought her international visibility, with a billboard in Times Square, a dedicated Apple Music 1 radio show, a COLORS performance, and a debut at #9 on Spotify’s Global Debut Chart. In Canada, the album was widely acclaimed, earning JUNO Awards for Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year.
Charlotte first broke through in 2021 with Phoenix, a critically acclaimed debut that garnered six JUNO Award nominations and four wins, including Album of the Year and Single of the Year for Meaningless. Certified Platinum in Canada, Phoenix made Charlotte the first Canadian artist to reach the top of the Canadian Billboard chart since Céline Dion in 2016.
Following the Big Boy EP and Main Girl EP, Cardin emerged as an international phenomenon with her 2021 debut Phoenix. At the 2022 JUNO Awards, the LP took home “Album of the Year” and “Pop Album of the Year,” while Meaningless garnered “Single of the Year” and she personally received “Artist of the Year.” Inciting unanimous tastemaker applause, HYPEBAE christened her “one of Canada’s brightest young talents.” Following sold-out headline dates and powerhouse turns at Bonnaroo and Festival d’Été de Québec, Cardin topped the bill at Osheaga in 2021, marking a momentous Montréal homecoming. -

THYLACINEIl faut parfois se déraciner pour s’accorder avec soi-même et avec le monde alentour.
C’est en tout cas selon ce précepte qui lui a jusqu’ici si bien réussi que Thylacine a décidé de poursuivre sa quête créative. L’artiste qu’on a suivi à bord du Transsibérien, sur les routes de la Cordillère des Andes et des Îles Féroé, ou en Turquie pour y apprendre à jouer du bağlama, a décidé pour son nouvel album Roads vol. 3 de s’éloigner à nouveau des automatismes créatifs de son studio parisien. Lui, qui confesse avoir du mal à composer deux morceaux dans un seul et même endroit, a cette fois décidé d’arpenter pendant trois mois un nouveau continent.
Toujours embarqué dans sa désormais fameuse caravane flamboyante, une Airstream de 1972 équipée pour enregistrer, travailler et interpréter ses voyages pas comme les autres, William Rezé-Thylacine s’est donné le temps dont il avait besoin. Ce temps qui manque quand on est ensablé dans la routine et le rythme des tournées, ce temps qu’il faut pour que les voyages soient d’authentiques expériences et que l’intuition se transforme en une matière toujours plus audacieuse et originale.
Cet album s’annonce à l’image d’un étonnant périple. Un véritable vertige créatif, résultat de profondes interrogations sur son art et sa pratique face aux équilibres du monde qui l’entoure.
Une nouvelle odyssée musicale qui fait de Thylacine un artiste fondamentalement unique en son genre.
EN
Sometimes, you have to uproot yourself to truly align with who you are, and with the world around you.
It’s this guiding principle, one that has served him so well so far, that Thylacine has chosen to follow once again in his creative journey. The artist we’ve traveled with aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway, along the roads of the Andes and the Faroe Islands, and through Turkey where he learned to play the bağlama, has once again stepped away from the familiar patterns of his Paris studio to create Roads Vol. 3.
True to his now-iconic mode of travel, a blazing 1972 Airstream caravan converted into a mobile studio, William Rezé, aka Thylacine, gave himself the most precious resource of all: time. Time that’s so often missing when caught in the grind of touring and routine. Time that allows travel to become a real experience, where intuition can evolve into something bolder, deeper, more original.
This album emerges as a mirror to that astonishing journey, a true creative vertigo born of deep reflection on his craft and how it relates to the shifting balance of the world around him.
A new musical odyssey that further defines Thylacine as a profoundly singular artist in today’s landscape.

Groundation
Formed in 1998, GROUNDATION is among the world’s reggae legends.
Their first two albums (YOUNG TREE and EACH ONE TEACH ONE) established a unique roots sound, distinctive to GROUNDATION. In 2002, the album HEBRON GATE was recorded, achieving immediate success and propelling the group to international fame, a masterpiece of their progressive and unique roots reggae.
In 2018, after the departure of some of its founding members, the legendary Californian band reformed around its leader HARRISON STAFFORD. He surrounded himself with the best musicians who, like him, graduated from the prestigious Sonoma State University. The resulting sound remains deeply faithful to the jazz-tinged reggae that has made GROUNDATION’s reputation since its inception. This new generation of virtuosos brings all its talent, creativity, and energy to the concerts.
After more than two decades and ten studio albums, GROUNDATION, which has helped define American roots reggae, is back with CANDLE BURNING, his 11th studio album. This new work perpetuates the group’s legend with the same commitment to sophisticated music and impeccable sound quality, recorded 100% analog.
HARRISON STAFFORD, at the helm of the formation, has the power to create intense tracks with complex yet captivating arrangements, combined with engaged, poetic, and deeply human lyrics.
In its approach to respecting music and defending analog, the group chose to record its new album at the internationally renowned ICP Studio in Brussels. The venue, with its cutting-edge equipment, has welcomed the biggest names in music since its opening (Pharrell Williams, The Cure, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Cat Stevens, Simple Minds, Lana Del Rey...). The mixing is handled by the legendary JIM FOX (Lion and Fox Studios). A finely crafted collection that results in an album of exceptional quality and vision.

Dub IncOriginally from Saint-Etienne in France's industrial heartland, Dub Inc fuse classic roots reggae with dub, dancehall, ska, hip-hop and African influences. They create an intoxicating musical hybrid with highly charged and socially conscious songs which have earned them cult status in their native France.
Their wild, high-octane live performances led to an ever expanding and loyal fan base. With a fierce independent spirit and away from the media spotlight, Dub Inc have become the most successful reggae band playing in Europe today, and are now a fixture at major festivals across the world, having already appeared at Paleo, Francofolies, WOMAD and headlined Rototom Sunsplash or Summerjam.
Charismatic lead singers Hakim "Bouchkour" Meridja and Aurelien "Komlan" Zohou sing in English, French and Kabyle (a Berber language native to Algeria). Backed by deep rolling bass (Moritz Von Korff), keyboards (Frédéric Peyron and Idir Derdiche), guitar (Jérémie Grégeois) and drums (Grégory "Zigo" Mavridorakis), Bouchkour and Komlan convey strong positive messages through their striking vocals creating music with a truly universal appeal.
Since forming in 1998, Dub Inc have produced seven studio albums, two EP's and two live albums. Their new album Millions (2019, Diversité) perfectly embodies the potent combination of infectious energy, distinctive melody and engaged, combative lyrics.
