Zouk Talons

Regina Demina is a trans media artist, singer, director, and actress. Her approach, aiming to translate artifacts from the same research into art videos, performances, or live shows, is a guiding thread in the artist's creative process. Born in Kaliningrad, Russia, and arriving in France at the age of four, Regina Demina grew up between two cultures: that of her parents (a Jewish Ashkenazi mother from Uzbekistan and an Orthodox Siberian father) and that of her adopted country. She creates contemporary tales that blur the lines between the real and the virtual, the fairy-tale and the fantastical ,as a form of modern and personal mythology, delving into the uncanny and morbid romanticism, influenced by the familial folklore of the East, her childhood forests, and the rave culture that shaped her adolescence in impoverished suburb.She is graduated of the Fresnoy National Studio of Contemporary Arts, she received the Young Talent Award from ADAGP in 2016 as a revelation in digital arts for her piece ALMA. She continue to perform and show her practice in visible in museums, theatre and concerts hall.
Tomie (2024) is the fresh and last part of 3 -EP series (released in 2022 and 2023). Written and sung by Regina Demina ans produced by Nomak. Dreamcore, Inframince and TOmie are a musical triptych, with each part having their own existence, but coming together to form a complet narrative . They form a soft and violent digital tale , navigating between Hyper-pop,lyrical and post internet music. Born from the magic and nightmare of the drifting virtuality.

Derrière son nom de mercenaire ciselé pour les nuits moites et décapantes, DJ PUTE ACIER s'est taillé depuis 40 ans une solide réputation de gagneuse, collectionnant frénétiquement les expériences de cassage de genoux et de manipulations musicales génétiquement modifiées. Quand il y est, il sourit, tape du pied et a à nouveau 17 ans, se retrouvant parfaitement en phase avec Dieu alors que d'autres auraient l'impression de franchir l'antichambre de l'Enfer auditif.

The three-headed musical creature La Chatte was born in 2003 in Paris, formed by Vava Dudu, a pluridisciplinary artist, Stéphane Argillet aka Stereovoid, visual and sound artist member of the French collaborative France Fiction, and Nikolu, a polymorphous musician.

Their music, a kind of post-punk electro-zouk, is ryhthmic, dark, distorted, strident and chocolate-flavored.

Renowned for their head blowing performances, the band has remained so far really discrete with its discography focussing on live collaborations with the likes of vivid astro focus or Voin de Voin for instance, crossing roads all over Europe.

Their first album: Bastet, is a collection of realistic-futurist songs, could be the hypnotic soundtrack of a dance club haunted by ethereal voices, sharpened guitars and dark rhythms.
