Strasbourg Music Week le talu + Ucci Why + Caesaria + M.A.O. Cormontreuil + Dance Divine + Tedaak

New figure on the emerging french-speaking scene, le talu is a trans non-binary artist
based in Brussels.
Accompanied on stage by producer and composer Maïa Blondeau, they build a hybrid
journey between cloud rap, post trip hop, electro, queer erotic ASMR and sad pop.
le talu talks about non-straight sex, makes fun of the rich and drowns his sorrows in
autotune. Suave, phlegmatic elocution to tell you about his hottest nights in the hollow of your ear,
sharp, insolent flow to utter venomous curses, they give themself over to the almost gabber beats, gueeky glitchs and melancholy flights of musician and electro-
acousticians maïa blondeau and o0ryxss4355, with whom they composed their first album, released in June 2024: “tuning contre la sadness”. Be ready for tears, excitement
and angryness.

Ucci Why is an artist in constant evolution,, blending rap and electro with the support of her DJ and beatmaker, Rexorder. Her sound, characterized by deep bass and atmospheric melodies, delves into mystical and subconscious realities with a flow that is both ethereal and hard-hitting.

Mixing English, Bulgarian, and French, her unique style reflects both feminine strength and human vulnerability. Influenced by Missy Elliott, Gorillaz, Mac Miller, and Nina Simone, Ucci continues to surprise with her multicolored sonic palette.

After two EPs, she released her album "555 Dharma" at the end of 2023—a more vulnerable and intimate project that brings her closer to her audience. On stage, the rapper captivates and ignites the crowd, carried by her incandescent energy and the raw intensity of Rexorder’s tracks.

If Caesaria reminds us of our best rock concerts, it also makes us want to step into a club and completely lose ourselves. Their sound sits at the crossroads of alternative rock and indie pop, driven by a vision summed up in two words: club-rock.

The band first made waves with their 2022 debut album, produced by Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons) and Pelle Gunnerfeldt (The Hives, Viagra Boys). After a standout performance at Les Eurockéennes de Belfort in 2024, they are now gearing up to defend their next album, recorded in London and produced by Brett Shaw (Foals, Florence + the Machine).

A modern and visceral spark of energy—one that truly comes to life when shared on stage.

Born under a blazing summer sun in 2023, M.A.O. Cormontreuil is a wild musical lab where Marianne Mérillon, Anthonin Ternant, and Odilon Horman (Black Bones, The Bewitched Hands, Chester Remington) brew their turbo-charged pop potion.

With a frantic pace worthy of a hamster on caffeine, the Reims-based trio drops fresh tracks on the regular, always paired with Anthonin’s delightfully wacky music videos.

On stage? Buckle up! Their set is like an indie-house mixtape on steroids—a whirlwind of beats where each track flows seamlessly into the next with killer electro transitions. The tempo skyrockets from 90 to 150 BPM, building up to a climax where standing still is simply not an option.

And online? Their communication is a masterpiece of absurdity: a fictional agency operating from imaginary offices, like a sketchy early-2000s startup—a playful nod to DIY culture and the early, clunky days of computer-assisted music production.

In short, M.A.O. Cormontreuil is a musical rollercoaster where anything goes—and above all, nothing is taken too seriously!

An icon of queer punk techno style, transmedia artist Dance Divine will close the night on May 28th with an exclusive set, presenting part of her new album HORA/KL. A raging show of joy and mantras for a collective, dancing awakening of voices on the dancefloor with our divine goddess.As a producer, astrocrafter, and non-binary performer, Dance Divine creates queercore music and transmedia videos to generate new perspectives.

TedaAk is an artistic identity that invents itself through the aesthetics of Tekno, rap, punk and queer aesthetics. Using absurdity and derision, he tackles taboo subjects such as religion, police, sexuality and gender. From these creations association of ideas, deconstruction and collage, emerge delirious pieces, charged with meaning and intention, but also stories and imaginary worlds in which poetry reveals itself with or without irony
Primarily active in music and sound, TedaAk aims to open up to the visual and performative arts and performance arts, always on the lookout new forms of expression, more moving, more disconcerting and more sincere.
