Once again, the 12th Nuits Sonores festival will reinvent our ideas of what a festival should be. Here at Arty Farty, we are loyal to our convictions and have a great passion for beautiful industrial sites. This includes the magnificent Halle Girard, connected to the former Marché Gare which was used for the festival in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Nuits Sonores can now set up in its location of preference – La Confluence. In 2014, Nuits Sonores will take over the Marché de Gros, but in a totally new and unexpected way. For a loyal crowd, this means some sort of return to the future – rediscovering a few familiar elements from the past within the transformation of the location. Newcomers can explore the industrial space of La Confluence where the day program will take place (NS Days and Mini Sonore at La Sucrière) as well as the Inauguration in an expected location, professional events at Le Sucre, the European Lab forum at l’Hôtel de Région (see pages 31 and 41), a Carte Blanche program run alongside the Apéros Sonores (Glasgow, this year’s guest city). It is our most ambitious urban and scenographic journey yet. The Confluence 2014 project has been built around this new spectacular night venue (see pages 2 to 7). It is a new kind of territorialisation for Nuits Sonores which is focused on the incredible area at the southern point of the Presqu’île and open to all areas of Lyon through the more participative programs – especially Extra! and Night 2 (The Circuit). Arty Farty is approaching their 12th festival with the same convictions. The festival’s philosophy has not changed – to develop an urban event that is open to a range of contemporary disciplines including music, graphic design, scenography, visual creation and digital culture. The key to this year’s festival is constant renewal and redefining the boundaries of a project that evolves with time. Although other festivals may want to provide big headliners and uncover artistic talent at any cost, Nuits Sonores continues to rethink its propositions while maintaining a good relationship with the public through urban, contemporary and global artistic creation. This is the story of a district (Confluence), the story of a city (Glasgow), the story of an established curator and interdisciplinary crossovers (e.g. Images Sonores). The Nuits Sonores project is a stage for an era where everything is accelerated, a snapshot of rich artistic creation and innovation. We strongly maintain our artistic standards and our desire to provide a unique urban experience to be shared among the public from Lyon and all over Europe. Vincent Carry Indie & electronic french festival — 12th édition confluence 2014 3 4 � Press release confluence 2014 TWO EVENTS, ONE AREA From Tuesday 27 May to Sunday 1 June 2014, the 12th Nuits Sonores festival and the 4th European Lab forum will take place in the Confluence district. For Arty Farty, this is a new opportunity to innovate and experiment in the territorialisation of a festival. Since 2002, we have been thinking of the concept of an urban festival, working with the notions of mobility, livelihood and movement in the city. We set up the first Nuits Sonores festival (2003) as a model for architecture and event conception. Twelve years later, our will to constantly reinvent the building blocks of Nuits Sonores has led us to develop a unique cultural experience in a transient artistic and urban space – La Confluence. This model for urban renewal is a crossover of industrial heritage and innovative constructions, an eco-district integrating all sorts of urban and architectural innovations with environmentally friendly modes of transport. This new area of Lyon, located in the extension of the heart of the city at the southern point of the Presqu’île, is the ideal spot for the project. One of the main goals of the project is to bring the area to life for festivalgoers, locals and French and international visitors who haven’t yet had the chance to discover it. Over five days and five nights, the Confluence district will host the five main venues of Nuits Sonores and the European Lab – La Sucrière (the main day venue), le Sucre (for all PR and professional events), L’Ancien Marché de Gros extended into the magnificent Halle Girard (venue for the three main Nights), l’Hotel de Region (welcome centre for the Lab); La Maison de la Confluence and La Halle aux Fleurs (the venue for the Inauguration and the new Carte Blanche/Apéros program). La Confluence will also be the place for connecting crowds, artists, the media and professionals in cultural innovation from all over the world. It will be simple to move between venues quickly and efficiently, making the most of the environmentally friendly modes of transport available – tram, metro, bus, public bicycles (vélo’v) which are all connected to the Perrache station - a gateway to La Confluence, and of course river shuttles and shared cars. Arty Farty is very familiar with this district, being the first cultural structure to open up the big industrial spaces and heritage gems of La Confluence. The festival and Lab teams will work on detailed integration, urban scenography, quality event production (accessibility & durability), links between venues and also local mediation and cooperation with residents, businesses and local cultural organisations. Vincent Carry Indie & electronic french festival — 12th édition 5 MAIN VENUES – CONFLUENCE 2014 New Order at La Sucrière/ Special concert at Nuits Sonores 2012 Hôtel de Région The Hôtel de Région, a symbolic building in the new Confluence district, is the starting point where Nuits Sonores and the European Lab 2014 will unfold. It is one of the main venues for the European Lab (hosting three days of the forum), it is also the backbone of the two events - the public and professional reception, ticket office, information point and also a production area for the duration of the festival. La Sucrière Welcome back to La Sucrière! This historical site and birthplace of the festival will host NS Days and the kids’ program, Mini Sonore. With three stages, including an outdoor stage, La Sucrière is not to be missed this year. ancien marché de gros Nobody could forget the old market that Nuits Sonores used from 2009 to 2011 which became a talking point of the festival. This year, Nuits Sonores will return to this heritage industrial site with newly designed spaces, including three stages, one of which has never been seen before. Maison de la Confluence La Halle, opposite the Maison de la Confluence, unveiled last year, is the perfect backdrop for Apéros Glasgow. It is a three-day street party with a free day program dedicated to this British metropolis (Glasgow Carte Blanche program). HALLE AUX FLEURS Originally a flower market, the Halle aux Fleurs is one of the architectural jewels of the former Marché Gare. This space will host part of the Inauguration and the Glasgow Carte Blanche program. Parc des Berges Nuits Sonores returns to one of its first loves, the Parc des Berges, with Sunday Park. We will bring a close to the week of revelry in a relaxed and family friendly environment. Hôtel de Ville In the heart of Lyon, the Hôtel de Ville will open the European Lab and then host the first day dedicated to European cultural policy. le sucre Le Sucre is magnificently perched on the roof of La Sucrière, and quickly became a real cultural hotspot in Lyon. It is a club, event hall, and cultural space all in one, and will play host to all the professional and PR events at Nuits Sonores and the European Lab in 2014. 6 � Press release NUITS SONORES, SUSTAINABLE & UNITED Since 2010, Nuits Sonores has developed a series of specific measures for accessibility under the name Nuits Sonores, Sustainable and United which aims to limit the festival’s environmental impact and make it accessible to as many people as possible.

For over 30 years, Glasgow has placed arts and culture at the heart of its urban, economic and social regeneration policies. The arts and cultural scene has become a vector for the municipality to stimulate economic activity and proceed to reconvert industrial sites in cultural, commercial and residential areas. This orientation functions within a larger framework where the aim is to reconstruct a clear and positive image of the city and bring back its appeal for investors and new populations. The arts and culture have led to a rebirth of the postindustrial city to turn it into a cultural capital in the eyes of the world. A number of links with the City of Lyon and more so with the territorial project that we are presenting for Nuits Sonores and the European Lab 2014 at La Confluence have made Glasgow our top pick for the 12th festival. Furthermore, the city of Glasgow held the title of European Capital of Culture in 1990 and it was named the UK City of Architecture in 1999. Due to its strong musical history and organisation of national and international festivals, Glasgow was named the UNESCO City of Music in 2008, and was considered the secret music capital of Europe by Time Magazine. The Carte Blanche program adapts each year to the social, cultural and artistic identity of the guest city. This will be a tribute to Glasgow’s legendary music scene, visual culture, cinema, scenography and architecture. As part of the Confluence 2014 project, La Maison de la Confluence will be the epicentre of the editorial philosophy of the project. Therefore, La Maison de la Confluence, along with the Halle aux Fleurs, will play host to: - Glasgow Apéros - An exhibition and projection space for the Carte Blanche program - A friendly, artistic space to meet and talk The entire Carte Blanche program is free. In partnership with You can also find our Glaswegian artists at: - The festival Inauguration : Martyn Flyn and Stephen “Pastels” McRobbie (see page 33) - At the main Nights : Jackmaster B2B Jasper James, Halfrican and Rustie (see pages 34, 36 and 39) Thursday 29 May to Saturday 31 May 2:30pm to 9:00pm / Maison de la Confluence & Halle aux Fleurs / Free Indie & electronic french festival — 12th édition 11 GLASGOW CARTE BLANCHE PROGRAM > APEROS GLASGOW IN COLLABORATION WITH heart of glass, heart of gold FESTIVAL Heart of Glass, Heart of Gold naturally turned to Optimo DJs who the festival shares a musical culture and open mind with. But if the blood of Heart Of Glass, Heart Of Gold runs in Ardèche, their heart beats in Lyon and invites local artists to discover Glaswegian culture. 12:30 / 4:00pm : DEE OFLASH (Lyon – France) DJ set Dee Oflash, resident DJ at Sonic and a member of East, is a top Lyonnais DJ in the shoegaze and post-punk renewal. 4:00pm / 5:00pm : COMMANDO KOKO (Lyon – France) Live Screen printing, writing, noise and cinema were Commando Koko’s first loves which are now heading towards deformation, degradation and degeneration of the image, punk art and DIY where he plays under the name Der Kommissar. In his music, he defines his sets as a mix of dark groove, turntablism and tape stabbing. 7:00pm / 9:00pm: OPTIMO (ESPACIO) (Optimo Music / Glasgow – UK) DJ set Jonnie Wilkes and Keith McIvor – a.k.a. JG Wilkes and JD Twitch – met in November 1997 at the Sub Club in Glasgow. Since then, they have founded the label Optimo Music and created Optimo, a duo born from their will to invent new ways of DJing, using samples, laptops and effects boxes, mixing a range of musical styles. Playing with anything from rock to electro and reggae to cold wave, Optimo creates a unique space for freedom without musical borders. 5:30pm / 6:30pm : GOLDEN TEACHER (Optimo Music / Glasgow – UK) Live Golden Teacher was born out of a studio collaboration between the noise punk trio Ultimate Thrush and the house duo Silk Cut who are both from Glasgow. The result transformed them into Golden Teacher and they were quickly signed to Optimo Music. They go off live, melding underground attitude and voodoo vibes, and were a total hit at the Transmusicales de Rennes. Apéros Glasgow / Thursday 29 may 2014 / 2:30pm - 9:00pm / Maison de la Confluence Free 12 � Press release GLASGOW CARTE BLANCHE PROGRAM > APEROS GLASGOW IN collaboration WITH baleapop FESTIVAL We have put together a special Carte Blanche program this year that is eclectic, spontaneous and welcoming.

Records / Glasgow - Royaume-Uni) Live Dam Mantle, a.k.a. Tom Marshallay, has a varied musical past which he has put together in his first album Brothers Fown. Since 2009, Tom has been a sharp avant-garde producer, pushing the boundaries of bass, house, ambient and techno music by mixing them with neo-fold, jazz and postrock music. He has also done prestigious remixes for Gold Panda, Gonjasufi, Zebra and Snake and today he is in high demand for his constantly evolving style. 6:00pm / 7:00pm : UBRE BLANCA (Clan Destine Records / Glasgow - Royaume-Uni) Live Former members of Shitdisco, Remember Remember and Divorce, Joel Stone and Andy Brown and kindling the fire once again with their first EP Polygon Mountain. The duo is off to a promising start alongside Zombie Zombie, Casual Sex, Islet and Molly Nillsson. 7:15pm / 9:00pm : KODE9 (Hyperdub / Glasgow Royaume-Uni) Dj set Kode9 is a symbolic figure of dubstep, the founder of the reputable label Hyperdub, a producer and DJ and also teaches the philosophy of sound. Through samples, dubplates and concepts, he has become a sort of urban samurai making his way with integrity and meticulousness. This Scotsman seems to be running a campaign to show the martial dimensions of sound as well as the founding virtues of the sound system. Apéros Glasgow / Friday 30 may 2014 / 2:30pm - 9:00pm / Maison de la Confluence Free Indie & electronic french festival — 12th édition 13 GLASGOW CARTE BLANCHE PROGRAM > APEROS GLASGOW IN collaboration WITH freakshow FESTIVAL Le Freakshow n’a ni programmation idéale, ni genre musical de prédilection mais aspire à faire découvrir des choses loin des modes sitôt fabriquées, sitôt oubliées. Ce programme, fidèle à l’image du festival, en est un exemple. 2:30pm / 4:30pm : FREAKSHOW DJ SET (Freakshow) Dj set 4:30pm / 5:15pm : NO SHANGSA (Gigors Electric Records / Valence - France) Live No Shangsa vigorously explores the classic guitarbass-keyboard triangle. With real punk energy, psychedelic overtones, techno beats, echos of krautrock and metal and hints of shoegaze, the trio is creating tracks hybridising punk, free jazz and psychedelic noise. 5:15pm / 6:00pm : THE ROSY CRUCIFIXION (Soft Power Records / Glasgow - Royaume-Uni) Live Their name comes from a Henry Miller trilogy that was full of amorality. The Rosy Crucifixion are influenced by the Monks, King Tubby and Goblin. Their dark hypnotic sound is inspired by garage music, interposed with the feminine voice of Emily McLaren. 6:00pm / 6:45pm : DELACAVE (Gigors Electric Records / France) Live Delacave, a synth-bass duo made up of Lily Pourrie (Fast Arbeit Babies) and Seb Normal (The Feeling of Love), defend the “gloomy wave” sounds of their excellent debut album Run Straight To Them And Grunt, released in November 2013. 6:45pm / 7:30pm : JACOB YATES AND THE PEARLY GATE LOCK PICKERS (Re:peater records / Glasgow – Royaume-Uni) Live Un peu de rock’n’roll, un peu de rockabilly, une musique dark et un sourire malicieux, on pourrait décrire la musique de l’ex-leader de Uncle John & Whitelock, Jake Lovatt, et son premier album, Luck, comme du horror r’n’b. Certains médias les comparent à Tom Waits, Nick Cave ou encore The Cramps. 8:00pm / 9:00pm : THE AMAZING SNAKEHEADS (Domino Records / Glasgow – Royaume Uni) Live NME Magazine called them Glasgow’s most exciting band. Recently recruited by Domino Records, The Amazing Snakeheads are a crazy trio inherited from British Punk. Fans of Nick Cave and John Cooper Clarke will be captures by their brutal and bloody rock. Apéros Glasgow / Saturday 31 may 2014 / 2:30pm - 9:00pm / Maison de la Confluence Free 14 � Press release GLASGOW CARTE BLANCHE PROGRAM cinE glasgow - art & scEnographie We can all agree that Nuits Sonores is above all a music festival, but we have always held a special place for culture and art in general. After a number of trips to Glasgow, Arty Farty has discovered the city’s artists’ ability to think outside the square and break away from tradition, seeing creation as the greater means for expression. CINÉ GLASGOW Nuits Sonores has decided to set up a cinema entirely dedicated to Glasgow this year to reflect the importance of the city’s cultural life. A special program of documentaries, archives, short films, feature films, live recordings, clips and other artistic video pieces dedicated to the Scottish capital will be put on at the Halle aux Fleurs, just a stone’s throw away from the Glasgow Apéros. Glasgow Cinema will be a breath of fresh air for curious festivalgoers, a totally immersive experience thanks to the wireless headphone system that will be available at the entrance. Archived pictures of Glasgow before and after the war remind us of the history of this dock city and the fact that its origins are still deeply lodged and respected by younger generations, the world of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the thumping bass of the legendary SubClub, the development of labels such as Rock Action, Soma and archives of live performances are on all on the menu at Cinema Glasgow. In partnership with Detour Scotland, a TV show that strives to promote the city’s underground scene. The idea is to screen one hour per day of live performances by carefully-selected Scottish bands filmed in unique, symbolic locations in Glasgow. This is a special Nuits Sonores 2014 event. ART AND SCÉNOGRAPHY Nuits Sonores has always aimed to create an experience for its crowds that goes beyond simply putting on a show. Through our programs and scenographic work, Nuits Sonores makes way for Glasgow and its bubbling creativity. Thanks to the influence of visionaries like Mackintosh the capital of bagpipes and kilts has become one of Europe’s most creative cities despite its modest size. Well ahead of its time, The Glasgow School of Art has long understood how to provide innovative programs. For this reason, Nuits Sonores chose to collaborate with the school for the scenography of the Glasgow Carte Blanche program. In partnership with The Art School, a concert hall and exhibition space run by the Glasgow School of Art’s dynamic student federation, a call for projects was launched for students to design the Carte Blanche by appropriating urban furniture in their own way. Glasgow Carte blanche / Thursday 29 May to Saturday 31 May 2014 / Public area & Halle aux Fleurs / Free Indie & electronic french festival — 12th édition 15 ns days jeudi ROOM 1930 Nuits Sonores has been running NS Days since 2011 to cater for diverse audiences and giving yet another exciting dimension to the festival’s program. There are few artists who manage to become stars in Ibiza while remaining steadfast to their underground roots. The Frenchies Apollonia hypnotise Balearic nights, while giving Fabric one of their best compilations of 2013. There is no doubt that Nuits Sonores will treat them as prophets in their country. Nina Kraviz, the past master of acid house, is perhaps the true superstar that underground house scene has been waiting for to make over today’s stiffening techno scene. 6:00pm / 9:00pm : Nina Kraviz (Rekids / Moscow Russia ) DJ set She has come a long way since playing at Nuits Sonores in2011. Today, Nina Kraviz is in the Hall of Fame of today’s house producers. The recipe is simple and effective: a delicate balance of house, techno and acid house, picking from her productions and influences or from new electronic trends. Her sexy sets that get you dancing make her a controversial figure but also…an icon! 3:00pm / 6:00pm : Apollonia ( Apollonia / Paris France ) DJ set Shonky, Dan Ghenacia and Dyed Soundroom have been cultivating techno and house culture for over 10 years. Since 2012, as Apollonia , they specialise in back to back to even be seen as a unique band made of one entity rather than three separate bodies. Their sound is a mix of black music and «white soul». Apollonia also created their eponymous label. NS Days Jeudi - Room 1930 / Thursday 29 May 2014 / 2:30pm to 9:00pm / La Sucrière / 20€, full price / 18€, reduce price, included in the NS Days Jeudi 16 � Press release ns days jeudi ROOM 1960 A stage under the sign of sensuality will host three atypical live sets echoing out blues, new wave, rock and electro. Dum Dum Girls 2:30pm / 3:30pm BRUNO DANGERHOUSE (Dangerhouse / Lyon - France) Bruno Dangerhouse is not a DJ, he doesn’t “mix” and he doesn’t play “sets”- he plays hazy, subjective records extracted randomly from his stock, all while he is concentrating on something else. He cannot dance, but he will sweep and tidy the room after his show. He has been in full action since 1989, and his store Dangerhouse is one of Lyon’s oldest independent records stores, with a collection of over 10,000 vinyls and CDs. 3:30pm / 4:15pm : BOB LOG III (Fat Possum / Tuscon - USA) Live A one man band with his rhythm machine and guitar, Bob Log III plays his blues-punk songs that’ll have you hooked. But Bob Log III is not only great fun, he is also a talented composer who has rebuilt blues music in totally original way. In his own words, “my shit is perfect”. 7:00pm / 9:00pm : DANIEL AVERY (Phantasy / London - UK) DJ set When Erol Alkan heard Smint he immediately decided to sign Stopmakingme aka Daniel Avery. Influenced by innovative DJs such as Ivan Smagghe and Optimo, Daniel Avery has developed an original style mixing house and techno with cosmic purrs, post- punk undertones and new wave hues without losing the energy of the dancefloor. 19h00 / 21h00 : DANIEL AVERY (Phantasy / Londres - Royaume Uni) Dj set Lorsqu’Erol Alkan entend Smint, il décide immédiatement de signer Stopmakingme aka Daniel Avery. Influencé par des djs novateurs tels que Ivan Smagghe ou Optimo, Daniel Avery a développé un style original mixant house et techno avec des ronronnements cosmiques, des angles post-punk et une new wave mutante sans jamais perdre l’énergie du dancefloor. 4:45pm / 5:30pm : DUM DUM GIRLS (Sub Pop / Los Angeles - USA) Live This 100% female quartet goes far beyond the garage/ lo-fi hype that limits some people. Spearheading today’s abundant American indie scene, the Dum Dum Girls evoke pop bands of the 60s such as The ShangriLas and The Ronettes. It is not a coincidence that in 2009 they signed two beautiful albums to Sub Pop. Their third is expected for 2014. NS Days Jeudi - Room 1960 / Thursday 29 May 2014 / 2:30pm to 9:00pm / La Sucrière / 20€, full price / 18€, reduce price, included in the NS Days Jeudi Indie & electronic french festival — 12th édition 17 ns days jeudi esplanade Andy Votel 2:30pm / 9:00pm : FINDERS KEEPERS RECORDS DJs : ANDY VOTEL & DOUG SHIPTON (Finders Keepers / Manchester - UK ) DJ set Created in 2005 by Andy Votel, Dom Thomas and Doug Shipton, Finders Keepers Records is a laboratory of genres, a musical experience full of discoveries in worlds forgotten. The label reissues electronic pop songs from Pakistan, Persian funk, Welsh folk and Czech soundtracks. The label’s first release is proof of FKR’s ambition: L’Enfant assassin des mouches from Serge Gainsbourg’s genius arranger, Jean -Claude Vannier. Far from business objectives, the trio releases what they want to share and what the music world needs. This risk has always marked the label and works as a starting point for more obscure artist such as Segdan Bagca, Bruno Spoerri and Jean-Pierre Massiera. Their set will reflect what they stand for – everything that is eclectic, sharp, surprising and exciting. ANDY Votel (Finders Keepers / Manchester UK) DJ set Andy Votel (nickname derived from Violators Of The English Language, a hip-hop group created in the 80s) is a pillar of the Manchurian underground scene. For the past fifteen years, he has been experimenting with explosive clashes. Mixing punk and psychedelic jazz, rock and electro, pop and trip- hop, Andy Votel has two albums to his credit that have received excellent reviews in the underground scene and the press but have gone unnoticed in France.

Drawing inspiration from DJs and clubs of the 70s and 80s, Hugo’s rhythms come from all eras and continents for a hot, hypnotic dancefloor sound - Detroit’s drum machines collide with Abidjan’s percussion all with a good dose of Caribbean undertones. This all came about for Hugo Mendez at London’s legendary warehouse parties.

Extra! is one of a kind program in Europe, giving anybody and everybody the chance the create an event and be part of Nuits Sonores. This all works through an open call for projects, what could be better? But what exactly is Extra! ? It’s the cherry on the cake for festivalgoers looking for new artistic adventures. Extra! aims to consolidate the creative, curious side of Nuits Sonores. Extra! knows no limits – there have been all sorts of events including street running, evolving exhibitions, colour parties, safari photo shoots, dancefloors with a view, steampunk parties, oyster cabins, techno sport and much, much more. The fruit of the imagination and energy of people who may never have organised an event before, Extra! Has become a real work in progress. Since its launch seven years ago, over 89,000 people have taken part in 215 Extra! events. Despite its success, the key theme goes unchanged – P-A-R-T-I-C-I-P-A-T-I-O-N! It is almost entirely free, thought up and set in motion by thirty independent project leaders. Extra! gets your days pumping in preparation for your Nights. Indie & electronic french festival — 12th édition 29 Here is a taste of what you can expect during Nuits Sonores 2014: La Bise To Love This is Extra!’s most passionate challenge yet.

PIMP MY CHALET We have to admit that there have been more clearly defined Extra! projects in the past. But when a record store owner, a top chef, an award-winning brewer, a solar sound system maker and some ultimate frisbee players want to get together to put on an event celebrating Savoy’s underground, we just had to say yes. Brittany Carte Blanche Extra! is putting on a special Carte Blanche program for the French region of Brittany through a number of events filled with symbolic galettes, round hats and red beanies. Seeing as the Bretons are always afraid we will steal their recipes, the details of the program will be revealed in good time. Get ready to fish some crab and dance around a lighthouse, right in the heart of Lyon. SVEN MARQUARDT - FUTURE’S PAST If you like electronic music and you’ve been to Berlin, there is a good chance that you have come across (or at least heard of) Sven Marquardt. And for good reason. He is also a bouncer at Berghain, one of the planet’s most mythical clubs. It is not surprising that he is also one of Berlin’s most unique photographers. He was Rudolf Schäfer’s assistant, and acts as a bridges between his East Berlin roots and his recent experiences in the night-time universe. Through his photographs, he constantly swings between the contradictions and gaps in his Berliner biography. His outlook therefore creates contrasts full of suggestion, which thus involves tangible tension. His very first exhibition in France (at the Goethe Institute) will take place during Nuits Sonores. We’ll even throw an Extra! party to celebrate it with him. 30 � Press release extra! AWESOME TAPE FROM PLACE DU PONT Even if its name changed a few years ago, everybody in Lyon still calls it the Place du Pont. Right in the heart of the Guillotière district, the Place du Pont is the epicentre of this cultural melting pot area. It is also where a lot of rai, proto-rai and electro-chaabi tracks were produced in the 80s and 90s. The 100% made in Lyon label has unfortunately slipped through the cracks since then. Hence the idea for this retrospective exhibition of this Extra! project paying tribute to the north African musical productions born in Guillotière’s cafés. Mint tea, local specialties and a retro dancefloor will light up the Archives de Lyon. WILL YOU MARRY ME ? A celebration of all sorts of non-official marriages, à la Las Vegas. For one day, get together with whoever you want, and promise to love each other, to have and to hold through all types of concrete music, for better concerts or for worse, until Eurodance may you part.

It is a label, an artistic collective, a creative agency and a management platform that rapidly expanded abroad to become one of England’s most promising creative organisations. Since 2002, Martyn Flyn, embodying the booming scene of electronic hip hop producers in England, has been striving to make their mark beyond what is already on the hip hop map with his band The Blessings (along with Dominic Flannigan). The Scottish musician and label director will bring his mixing talents to the Nuits Sonores Inauguration. Douglas Hart (from Jesus and Mary Chain - Glasgow - UK) Dj set Douglas Hart, founding member of The Jesus and Mary Chain, now works in video, but still with his feet planted in his rowdy past in British indie rock – he produced clips for bands like Primal Scream, The Stone Roses and The Horrors. Douglas will do us the honour of spinning the decks at the Inauguration. Here’s hoping he will whip out his famous dark glasses for the occasion. NYCO (Groovedge / Lyon - France) Dj set Resident at Encore events in Lyon, member of the Lyonnais record store Groovedge and partisan for free creativity - Nyco revels in his sonorous senses. He is the local appearance for the Inauguration, but with a selection in the spirit of the Carte Blanche program.

They are made up of a jazz/afro-funk drummer, a vibraphonist/keyboardist and an electro producer. These different musical visions result in lively electronica, with hints of Caribou, James Holden and Aufgang. Defining themselves as a “work in progress”, the band constantly experiments and evolves and will be presenting their latest live set at Nuits Sonores. 11:45pm / 12:45am : DARKSIDE (Matador / New York - US) Live Highly acclaimed, Darkside is one of today’s crazier projects. It all started when New York house producer Nicolas Jaar (who played at Nuits Sonores 2011) met multi-instrumentalist Dave Harrington. Darkside is audacious and unclassifiable. Their first album, Psychic, released on Matador in October 2013, contains dark, rumbling electro, alternating powerful beats, psychedelic pop-rock arrangements and futurist sound effects. Somewhere between Lindstrøm and Pink Floyd, Darkside’s music is captivating, without compromise and follows none of today’s trends. 1:00am / 2:30am : KOSME (Cosmic AD - Thema / Lyon - France) Dj set Kosme’s overflowing energy makes his music unique. His vision of house and techno music, loaded with history and influenced by the Detroit and Chicago scenes is an experience not to be missed. This year, Cosmic AD was launched – a new label in this totally cosmic adventure through an ever-changing universe. 2:30am / 5:00am : MARCEL DETTMANN (MDR / Berlin - Germany) Dj set Marcel Dettmann is a stand-out producer in Berlin – a true techno titan. Resident DJ at Berghain, leader of the label Ostgut Ton with his brother-in-arms Ben Klock, Dettmann has contributed to the explosion of the German scene since the early 90s. He also heads his own label Marcel Dettmann Records (MDR), and created his own musical identity – free, independent and without compromise. Dettmann is always in search of the finest sound and is known for his intransigence both as a producer and a DJ.

Inviting the legendary Düsseldorf band for a Special Concert is both a shared dream and an obvious choice. We chose Kraftwerk first and foremost for their pioneering role in the incredible history of electronic culture, as well as their extraordinary consistency and unparalleled artistic standards. We must also mention the crazy universe they managed to create and continue to evoke around their music. Who could forget the road movie scenes from Christopher Small’s Radio On, the old Radio-Activity cassette spinning or the dark melancholic opening notes of Geiger Counter? For many of us, it all started with our parents’ beautiful vinyls. Autobahn, Trans-Europe Express and the incredible The Man Machine which lent its name to the first techno DJ agency in Lyon set up by two of Nuits Sonores’ founders. Kraftwerk is also about the power of stage design and scenography which is very important to Nuits Sonores and our two architects, Laurent Graber and Antoine Trollat. Different bands’ consistency and origins as well as industrial sites have formed the majestic backdrop to Nuits Sonores for the past twelve years. This is also the perfect representation of the Images Sonores program that we created in 2006. This twelveyear dream, which started when the festival did, is now becoming a reality. Festivalgoers can be sure that this year Kraftwerk - who have not played in Lyon since 1991 (at the Transbordeur) – will play at Nuits Sonores. This time, it’s definite, and we are rapt to present Kraftwerk to our audience and include their name in the Nuits Sonores Hall of Fame.

A few years on, Kraftwerk was internationally-renowned for their revolutionary electronic «sound paintings» and musical experimentation. Working from these visions of the future, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack to the digital age. The band’s compositions, using the most innovative techniques of loops and computerised rhythms, had a major international impact on a wide range of musical genres. Kraftwerk’s use of robotics and other technological innovations during their stage performances showed their conviction in the exchange between man and machine in the process of artistic creation. Kraftwerk’s performances are perfectly synchronized audiovisual experiences, enhanced by perfect digital sound and 3D projections. In 2013, Kraftwerk presented their catalog 12345678 over either nights at the Tate Modern in London, the Sydney Opera House and the Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo.

This year, we will be celebrating our fifteenth birthday. We originally concentrated solely on electronic and independent culture, but have spread our wings to include visual culture, entrepreneurial reflection, cultural engineering and innovation. Arty Farty is an atypical organisation for cultural event production, artistic management, advisory missions and artistic direction for businesses, collectives, cultural institutions and festivals in France and abroad. Arty Farty specialises in the creation, editing, production and direction of current arts and culture projects. We run three main events – the Nuits Sonores festival and the European Lab forum in Lyon and Nuits Sonores Tangier in Morocco. It is important to us to understand how to integrate an environment and adapt to geopolitical, economic, social and cultural conditions. Arty Farty is a social and political organisation, sensitive to its global environment and its day and age, which has always aimed to be a positive figure in its field.
