French Touch Legacy, Unfiltered Energy — Friday 27 February · Grand Central
MAIN ROOM:
Cassius step in as architects of timeless groove — where pop intuition collides with underground weight. From hip-hop roots to house epiphanies, their sound carries the DNA of French Touch: warm, bold, irresistibly physical. David Vunk answers with raw electricity. Acid, techno, electro, italo — nothing stays still.

SECOND ROOM:
NoBad Party rewrites the rules of hip-hop culture in club space. Expect sharp selections, boundary-pushing blends and fearless energy with Amos, P Nasty, Guessi, C.Sugvr & Awuni

SUPER WAGON:
Elina leads a relentless journey through hard techno, industrial rhythms and hypnotic acceleration. Joined by NSXSC, the wagon becomes a pressure chamber: fast, dark, euphoric.
In collaboration with Motel Campo

Like a symbol. What better occasion than the 2024 Paris Olympics to rekindle the Cassius flame? Understandably extinguished after the tragic death of Philippe ‘Zdar’ Cerboneschi in June 2019, it is now burning brightly once again thanks to the determination of Hubert ‘BoomBass’ Blanc-Francard, the other member of the duo, to revive this legendary name of French touch, and not just on 8 September during the Closing Ceremony of the Paralympic Games, the first appearance of this reinvented Cassius. Convinced that a name that still resonates on dancefloors around the world should not be allowed to fade away, BoomBass is launching Cassius's big comeback at the end of 2024. With the release of a greatest hits album on 11 October and the first Cassius Club date a few days earlier, on the 9th, at the Rex Club in Paris. This concept will soon be rolled out in clubs around the world, where Hubert will be surrounded by his many friends as well as new talents. And there are plenty of surprises in store for 2025. Let's rejoice. The baseline ‘Cassius rockin' non-stop since 1999’ is once again relevant.

Born and raised in Rotterdam, Moustache Records label boss David Vunk is The Beast of the Harbour City with 30 years of DJ experiences to draw on. From acid to techno, Italo disco to electro and all the way back, he has energy to spare when in the booth and can contort a dance floor and fire up a crowd in an instant. He makes thrilling transitions between records that are instinctive and intriguing, whether sizing up his sound for a big festival stage or honing in on more intimate dynamics for a small and sweaty basement. As both a DJ and producer, Vunk works up powerful sounds that are built on rough edged analog basslines, forceful drums and electrifying synths, but does so with a sense of narrative that always keeps you guessing. It’s a skill you cannot fake, and one he has picked up from endless hours of playing places like Boiler Room at Dekmantel, closing sets at Lowlands Festival or at cult clubs like Lab.oraltory and Panoramabar. Burning as bright now as he did a quarter of a century ago, he playes more than 100 gigs across Europe and the rest of the world, and never failes to leave his own indelible mark.

In search of an electrifying and unifying atmosphere, Cora builds her sets around the
roundness of 90s-style house music. Her worlds are sometimes tinged with a touch of
trance, sometimes borrow from the sweaty turn of Hi-NRG disco, and are always driven by
a flow that resonates between flexibility and energy.

The NoBad Party concept was born at the end of 2022, named after Slimka's two successful EPs, NoBad Vol.1 and NoBad Vol.2. Guided by the motto "By us, for us! The city deserves it...", NoBad Party emerged in response to the crying need for uniqueness in Geneva's hip-hop events. NoBad Party's values are based on tolerance and acceptance of all. The fundamental idea behind NoBad Party is to redefine the codes of the hip-hop scene, offering a unique platform for discovering local and international artists through unique sets by selected artists. Slimka, host and founder of the NoBad concept, brings his artistic direction to bear, accompanied by his team, from the design of promotional visuals to the choice of line-up.
Line-up: P Nasty, Amos a la playa, guessi, C.Sugvr, awuni.
