From scissors and tape in 1967 to orchestral techno in 2025 - francophone artists didn't just follow electronic music trends, they INVENTED them!
Tonight we trace 60 years of innovation through 8 groundbreaking tracks that prove French-speaking producers have always been mad scientists in the best possible way.
The Timeline: 1967: Pierre Henry cutting analog tape by hand (pre-synthesiser genius!) 1976: Jean-Michel Jarre recording "Oxygène" in his HOME STUDIO 1997: Daft Punk's 144 repetitions of "around the world" changing club music forever 2007: Justice turning electro-house aggressive (Grammy-nominated!) 2025: Worakls blending orchestral elements with melodic techno
Mind-blowing facts: Maurice Béjart used Pierre Henry's electronic music for revolutionary ballet (1967!) - Jarre's "Oxygène" was recorded in a makeshift home studio and influenced Moby - Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." is a love letter to Michael Jackson - Bigflo & Oli's collab with Petit Biscuit started with one DM: "Mate, shall we collaborate?"
From musique concrète to French Touch to orchestral techno - this episode proves technology changes but French innovation stays constant!
