Yelle
Yelle began working on and recording their debut album Pop-Up in 2006 after the success of her first song “Je veux te voir”, the just-coarse-enough hit heard around the world and especially heavily on Myspace. She has enjoyed success outside of France despite making songs exclusively in French! She has toured overseas in non-French speaking countries and in particular the United States performing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2008. Yelle is a delightful breath of fresh air in the electro scene!

Pink Martini
Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world – crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop –, Thomas Lauderdale founded the “little orchestra” Pink Martini in 1994. Their first song “Sympathique”– with the chorus “Je ne veux pas travailler” (”I don‟t want to work”) – became an overnight sensation in France. Pink Martini has twelve musicians, and performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Northern Africa, North America, etc.
