Yuksek
About the show
Jazz Cafe is delighted to welcome an iconic figure of the French dance music scene for a long-awaited headline extended session: Yuksek.
A key figure alongside French-touch pioneers like Daft Punk, Justice, and Laurent Garnier, Yuksek burst onto the scene during the legendary "second wave" of late-2000s French electro. He became the crucial bridge between gritty, lo-fi Reims electro and modern Parisian nu-disco—a signature sound that led to collaborations with Gorillaz, Lana Del Rey, and more recently, Confidence Man.
Armed with an explosive record bag of contemporary Parisian house, O.G European disco classics, and rare French electro, Yuksek promises a truly scene-defining French-touch experience.
Featuring - Yuksek
Yuksek is one of the front runners of the new wave of French electro. He thrusts his very own sound - an orderly mess mixing hiphop and techno rhythms, pop structures, dry and accurate sounds.
Yet sobriety and the art of the thumping beat dominate his act, so much so they are the heart of his production.
This is hybrid music for subtle dancefloors, appealing to one's mind as well as one's legs.
