This producer and DJ has made waves with his distinctive tech house sound, spiked with hip-hop influences, marked by propulsive rhythms, sharp synths, and heavy basslines. Leading XCENTRiC RECORDS and signed to Droptone Records, he’s a mainstay in the scene, having performed alongside names like ACRAZE and Sick Individuals at venues such as Kemistry Nightclub and Miami Music Week staples like Kill Your Idol, Clevelander, Astra, and Dream.

This July, the imaginative universe of Château Perché returns to mark a major milestone: its 10th edition. From July 24–27, the iconic Château de Farcheville, a 13th-century castle near Paris, will once again host this boundary-pushing festival—an immersive celebration where music, art, and playful expression collide.

Anticipating more than 6,900 attendees and featuring over 400 artists from around the globe, the 2025 festival is set to be Château Perché’s most expansive and ambitious experience yet. This year’s theme, “Once upon a time there was a graphic fantasy utopia,” invites festival-goers into a vivid world shaped by storytelling, surrealism, and community creativity.

Each day carries its own imaginative dress code: from dreamy heights on Pyjamas in the Sky with Diamonds, to sensual flair on Haute Couture Kinky Tales, to heartfelt vibrancy on Vermillon Love Legion.

On the music front, genre boundaries dissolve. Attendees can expect everything from downtempo, house, and melodic techno to amapiano, UK garage, psytrance, and eclectic live acts. These sounds come to life on visionary stages such as Le Mirador de l’Amor, Le Jardin à la Française, and Le Colombier—each uniquely styled for immersive listening and visual storytelling.

But Château Perché is more than sound. The Exploration Village hosts a variety of workshops designed to awaken the senses and nourish the spirit, while La Cour d’honneur serves as a reflective haven filled with art installations, healing areas, and quiet zones. The castle itself becomes a theatrical, multi-textured environment—part dream, part ritual, part utopia.

The festival remains rooted in its founding principles: Respect, Ecology, Safety, and Awakening. It’s a vegetarian event with an eco-conscious design—minimizing waste, encouraging reuse, and providing shared transportation from eight different cities to shrink its carbon footprint. Every ticket comes with a pledge to uphold shared values, ensuring the festival remains a space of collective care and creative freedom.

Members of the press are invited to explore behind the scenes with guided tours throughout the weekend.
