With his unique style of hosting and his passion for music, he knows how to raise the temperature of any crowd in record time!
His influences are multicultural: Pop-Rock, Hip-Hop, Electro...
Originally from Normandy, he crossed the Channel to energize the crowds in Brighton and toured the biggest clubs. Today, he excels as a DJ and host at many major music festivals and sporting events such as the Winter X Games, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Roland Garros, Francofolies, Solidays, and more.

8:30 PM - 10:00 PM: SISKA
Siska grew up in the northern neighborhoods of Marseille, but it was in La Plaine where she planted her roots, where the neighborhood nights grooved to the sounds of black music. It was here that she encountered Rastafari culture.
Quickly, in addition to singing in her afro-reggae band, Axxam, she started doing backing vocals in Joby's Zion Train Imperial. He would even offer her her first group as a lead vocalist, Ka & Co. Sista Ka was born and she would break all possible codes with her world-beat gang, Watcha Clan. She toured France, Europe, the Maghreb, and the USA for 15 years and 5 albums. Charismatic, she dominates the stage with a phenomenal energy that leaves no one indifferent, investing herself physically and spiritually in every concert.
10:00 PM - 1:00 AM: Djset Yaguara
Dancefloor subtly orchestrated with vinyl records to the rhythm of Afro/Caribbean and Latin music.
