Robust, insolent French underground pop electronica and more! For the past few years the French have been pounding at the gates once more with their own take on pop music. Somehow in the tradition of Jean-Jacques Perrey through Les Rita Mitsouko all the way to Dat Politics but also further outfield, new worlds of sounds are being handcrafted, characterized by plenty of hyperactivity and other forms of (super)natural energy. We are really excited about the line up of Les Petites Différences Marginales numéro deux! Last year's edition was a success and we're determined to do it all over again this year, don't miss this one!
DJ ARC DE TRIOMPHE (Cartilage Records)Gaspare Balducci is the man behind the fledgling Parisian label Cartilage Records with whom we conspired to dish up tonight's line up. As a dj he is heavily into archiving and spinning the most upbeat, funny and freakish pop music, for which he scans the Globe's outer limits. Balducci also organizes many great parties and events all around France.
TROPIKA MATTAThe link with last year's 'Les Petites Différences Marginales' victors KAP BAMBINO remains intact because KAP BAMBINO's original beatmaker Orion is the ghost producer for Tropika Matta's exhilirating beats and basslines. This Dutch premiere of Captain Matta's off-the-wall dance music and absurd 'ragga-dada' lyrical banter is guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face!
Tropika Matta – YOUTUBELES PRINCES DU KUDUROKuduro is a fresh new and shit hot dance music that originates from the Angolese ghettos, mixing African rhythms with hard-edged house and hiphop style influences. It is rapidly gaining popularity in France. Les Princes du Kuduro are one of the most potent examples of Kuduro currently being made in France.

Arnaud De Pasquale – harpsichordDomenico Scarlatti was a brilliant italian composer from the 17th century, who wrote tons of sonatas for the harpsichord. Tonight we'll witness the unique ping-pong battle mix of the Scarlatti sonatas in two different interpretations: the original versions played on a real harpsichord (!), followed by hilarious electronic disco renditions.
TAPETRONICTapetronic is a captivating visual sound performance where creator Alexis Malbert utilizes the manipulated mechanisms of 'ordinary' cassette tape as alternative instruments to challenge the sound of turntable scratching. In the numerical age his lo-fi / high energy show shuns digital tools and celebrates new forms of entertainment.
