This year, Synapson and Antoine Garrel will be our guests of honor!

Synapson is the collaboration between two French producers who have been captivating audiences since 2010. After a 15-year career, five albums, numerous tours, hundreds of millions of streams, and many gold and platinum certifications, the duo is back with new sounds and collaborations. Their debut album, *Stendhal Syndrome*, released in 2012, laid the foundation for their musical universe. Next came *Convergence*, an iconic album featuring unforgettable tracks like “Djon Maya Maï” and “All in You.”
In 2020, the duo thought big and launched their “Global Musique” chapter with two consecutive albums, *Global Musique Vol. 1* and *Global Musique Vol. 2*, supported by two tours and more than 80 concerts. These projects transcend musical boundaries, fusing cultures from around the world through prestigious collaborations with artists such as Bonga, Oumou Sangaré, and Dominique Fils-Aimé. Synapson is, above all, a must-see live act. From festivals like the Printemps de Bourges, the Francofolies, Garorock, and Les Vieilles Charrues to legendary venues like the Zénith in Paris and the Olympia, the duo sets the stage ablaze at every concert. The summer of 2024 was punctuated by electrifying DJ sets from both artists. As we celebrate the group’s 15th anniversary this year, the duo is announcing its big comeback with an album titled *Blue Jeans*, released on February 28. The producers sought to create tracks tailored specifically to the various collaborators featured on this album, custom-made much like a jeans tailor. The album showcases numerous guest artists, including Clou, Just Jack, Nic Hanson, Myra, and Thaïs Lona. The duo is wrapping up an 8-month live tour across France and neighboring countries, with many sold-out shows. For this live tour, they’ve been joined by singers such as Nic Hanson and Thaïs Lona, as well as exceptional musicians like Sirius Tréma on guitar and vocals, and Tbow on bass. They brought this unique show to life in October 2025 with a performance at the legendary Olympia in Paris. The Olympia show was a magical event featuring many distinguished guests, including Anna Kova, Beat Assaillant, Bomel, Clou, Tim Dup, Lass, Later., and Pierre Mirabeau. The duo has already announced their return in 2026 with a deluxe album before heading back out on tour.

Antoine Garrel began learning drums and percussion at a very young age at music school. He won several drumming competitions and began his career as a musician in the 2010s, performing with various rock and funk bands as well as pop singers. But what he loves most of all is putting on a show! High school carnivals, Music Day celebrations… He never misses a single opportunity to get the crowd fired up, performing solo behind his drum set.
He quickly developed a passion for the world of electronic music: he became a DJ and came up with a completely original concept. His creation: a one-of-a-kind instrumental setup, a sort of futuristic hybrid centered around DJ turntables. From the drum set of his childhood, he kept his cymbals and snare drum, to which he added traditional and electronic percussion, along with a custom-designed lighting setup and breathtaking pyrotechnic effects. He also removed certain elements that had become superfluous, such as the seat: what better way to get the audience dancing than to stand, in harmony with them?
No more constraints, no more limits. The instrument takes center stage, and the musician takes center stage within the instrument. An artistic concept that reflects who he is, at the intersection of disciplines and sounds.
