100KIKI

100kiki is a Paris-based artist whose emop3 music merges dark indie, electronic music, and emo culture. After several years as a touring drummer for artists like Jeanne Added, Max Baby, billie, and Vera Daisies, and training at the Conservatoire de Paris, 100kiki found inspiration for this solo project during a stay in Montreal. hello world marks their debut—a 5-track EP written, composed, and produced solo, exposing their battle with anxiety. Each song explores a different nuance—fear of disturbing truths (word cuts), performative kindness (am i a dog to u), fear of abandonment (hearts cook brains), claustrophobic intimacy (get out), risk-taking in vulnerability (risk it)—through dreamcore soundscapes where soft vocals contrast with saturated guitars and arpeggiated synths, transforming intimate confession into explosive liberation.

AVE AMAPOLA

For Ave, music belongs to no single genre, but to a character, a personality. A French-Spanish singer-songwriter and performer based in Barcelona, she navigates between electro pop, sometimes Latin, sometimes rock sounds, with Arab influences, blending genres without ever setting limits. Her imagination is fed by encounters: she observes people without speaking, the better to sing them. The images she captures fit into a series of symbols that resonate with her personal history. In parallel with her artistic project, she also writes and composes for other artists. She moves between these two roles with the same rigor and passion.

ELLIE BECKER

Ellie was born into an arts school run by her parents, between dance, singing, and cinema. Nourished from childhood by Charles Aznavour, Lauryn Hill, and Michael Jackson, as well as the rock and electro her brother listened to, she developed very early an instinctive relationship with music free of genre boundaries. In adolescence, her influences widened. She turned toward more direct writing upon discovering Orelsan's lyrics, then toward the pop of her generation with artists like Jorja Smith, Raye, Billie Eilish, or Olivia Dean. She started piano at 6 years old, guitar at 15 years old, and quickly composed as a self-taught musician. After high school, she went to London to study production and songwriting at the BIMM Institute, where she made her first demos before returning to Paris to create her debut EP. Today, Ellie develops a project focused on intimacy. Titled Itinéraire d'une enfant perdue, it will be released progressively in 2026, with four initial singles followed by two additional tracks.

ILE DE GARDE

Ile de Garde is not just a clever wordplay in tribute to the blessed Teutonic all-round mystic, it is also an opportunity to learn that yes, the place exists, on the shores of the eponymous lake, and no, we do not have the means to go there. And that is the moniker chosen by the trio freshly signed to Born Bad / Carpaccio Cathédrale, who deliver six synth-wave tracks centered around drums / keyboards / spoken word. It won't be for everyone, and all the better. More "narrator" than singer, Klara Coudrais acts out the texts, embodies characters, and puts on the show in French and English as circumstances require. The narrative lays out a controlled, clinical anger, establishing the facts, whether settling scores with a creep or watching a couple fall apart. A Sylvia Plath in the style of Diamanda Galás, she harangues the crowd, a tricky exercise if ever there was one. It flirts at times with singing, backing vocals join in, and we are curious to see where it leads. Neither John nor Karen Carpenter, Cécile Aurégan on synths layers square refrains to create dense and enveloping sonic spaces. Appetizer-main-dessert, but the trio has a solid stomach, having toured England last year. And opposite, Morgane Poulain placidly hits her drums—it's rich, with tough fills and discreet subtle breaks. The drums have the elegance of being slightly under-mixed to achieve a hyper-harmonic overall color. From track to track, the combo never takes the easy way out, even for "To Death", an ode to free dance at the end of the Anthropocene for doomed folks. "Don't be shy / You know you're gonna die", the chorus is familiar, and they revisit it without losing themselves in it. Clothilde Carton designed the cover of this EP mixed unpretentiously by Julien Fourcin. Ile de Garde takes hold of voice, body, and storytelling. Rage Blossom is a beginning—be there.

MARCO FERREIRA

Marco Ferreira is 24 years old. He writes, composes, arranges, produces, and sings, but above all swims against the tide by delivering woody, modern, and minimalist indie chanson—a bold move in an era of overproduction and the chase for perfection. His uniquely textured voice, distinct guitar playing, and chiaroscuro personality sketch the demeanor of a Franco-Portuguese Tamino, who has no need to overdo things to be heard. Transparency and opacity of lyrics, smoothness and roughness of music and arrangements, lightness and darkness of songs: Marco Ferreira delivers with his "chanson 3.0" a proposition as surprising as it is obvious.

MITTY

Mitty, singer-songwriter and performer, developed artistic sensitivity from an early age, and music eventually channeled everything. Eight years of piano, seven years of singing: it was in writing and composition that she finally found her space, her way of putting words to what she feels and recounting her world. In her teens, she began writing her first songs. Writing quickly established itself as the core of her project: an unconstrained place where she translates her emotions, puts words to the unspeakable, builds something from her lived experience. Accompanied by two musician friends, she explores sounds blending indie-pop, electro, and influences like Saya Gray, Tiffany Day, or EAR. In 2022, the trio tried their luck at the Rock en Seine showcase and won, earning a performance on that iconic stage. An experience that confirmed to Mitty that this was indeed her path. Initially in English, her songwriting gradually shifted toward French, naturally, with the desire to connect even closer with her listeners. In March 2026, she released her debut single "Internet", which already boasts nearly 800 000 streams. Fully involved in the creation of her tracks, she composes, writes, and conceives each song as a fragment of herself. Mitty is currently preparing an EP slated for autumn.

NO SEX LAST NIGHT

Based in Paris, No Sex Last Night reclaims cold wave and EBM in a hyper-contemporary version. Stacking loops and hypnotic energy, the duo chants simple yet brutally lucid lyrics in French.

RITA L'OUJDIA

Rita L'Oujdia is a versatile and independent Franco-Moroccan artist: singer, songwriter, producer, and sound engineer. Her music is an experimental blend bridging her classical training at the Lyon conservatory and her cultural roots in Oujda, giving birth to a signature sound fusing reggaeton, raï, chaabi, and pop. Her work often explores themes of diasporic identity and female empowerment, embodied in her notable collaboration with producer Zouj on the track « 2choufat ». Accompanied by a music video filmed in her hometown of Oujda, it perfectly illustrates this dual belonging: an artist who embraces her roots while fully belonging to today's musical landscape.
