Biography
A pioneer activist, Crys L (Christophe Lyard) has been a fixture on the French electronic scene for over 30 years. From experimental projects with Pacific 231 or John Doe to the artistic direction of the legendary Magic club in Grenoble—where he organized his first raves with Laurent Garnier—he has never let go of either his passion or his vision.
Founder of Futuria Production, the Trance-Mission association, and the Sekence label, rooted in the French Touch movement (Phunky Data, Kiko, Ian Pooley…), he also co-founded Technopol in 1996, before producing some of the era's most iconic techno gatherings: Hexagona, the Amplitudes Festival, and the Futuria Raves at the Zénith in Paris.

An insatiable producer and programmer, he is one of the architects of the electronic explosion in the Rhône-Alpes region (Kiko, Oxia, Agoria, Alex K, The Hacker…), and has regularly crossed paths with Prodigy, Carl Cox, Jeff Mills, David Guetta, and Marc Cerrone, whom he has worked with since 2013. The pandemic marked a turning point: a return to machines, a return to the decks. In 2022, he played again in Lyon alongside Scan X, held residencies on Club FG and Maxximum (Radio FG), signed with Balagan Music (Wagram Music), and released his debut single This Is My Berlin (Sekence/Wagram Music) in 2023, featuring Rocket Mike (Tristesse Contemporaine).
Since then, everything has accelerated. Cherchez le Garçon, Hironoda, and Primal have found their place in the playlists.
Crys L has shared the stage with Cerrone, Josh Wink, Popof, and Timid Boy, and has performed at venues including the Philharmonie de Paris, the Lake Parade in Geneva, and the XNV Festival.
Carried by three decades of passion, his music flows between indie dance, melodic techno, and club energy.
Always in motion, true to his vision, Crys L continues his journey to the rhythm of his passion.
