The amount of hard work, commitment and energy which goes into running a festival is unfathomable. It might seem easy to dump a few dj's in a field for a weekend however to actually build the entirety of the experience into something which has meaning, has purpose, has an identity and a soul is a whole different thing entirely.

Sarcus Festival is an emerging French festival who are this year keen to target a wider European audience. The growing event has become a staple of the French festival calendar, showcasing local producers and dj's in a way which is unrivalled and eclectic.

This year the festival will take place in the 9th of September and play host to a cast of dj's and friends who each share the collective vision of this unique festival which places great emphasis on environmental stability and disconnection.

Phones are locked away, guests and artists are asked to travel by rail rather than fly and the goal is to create a renewable experience which excels and represents the very best of underground music culture.

Oh and then there's the music. This year they've booked the likes of Bambounou, Luca Lozano, Jane Fitz, Jamie Tiller, Voiski and many more.

We invited the crew to record a mixtape and show us all about the sound of the festival, whilst they reflect on what makes Sarcus so special.

Schooled in the sounds of Parisian institutions like Le Pulp, Batofar, and Rex Club—first as a
fan, then behind the decks—French producer and DJ Eliott Litrowski has built a dynamic and
light-hearted body of work that mirrors his joyful character.

Now based in Copenhagen, he balances his days as a designer with nights at local hotspots
like Den Anden Side and Jolene while making waves far beyond France. His razor-sharp blends
of House, electro, and Italo have taken him around the world, with tours across Asia and South
America, as well as memorable Sunday parties at the legendary Concrete in Paris. A dedicated
vinyl collector since his early DJing days, Eliott brings an analog warmth and deep musical
knowledge to every set.

Over the years, he has played some of the best clubs in the world, including Panorama Bar
and Tresor in Berlin, Mitsuki in Tokyo, Macadam in Nantes, and his beloved Rex Club in France.
From early releases on Cracki to his standout Schmock EP on Moustache Records, and his
recent Long Story Short EP on OOSHA—featuring electro legend DMX Krew on remix duty—he
continues to carve his own path with releases on Permanent Vacation and more. His signature
sound has found a home on airwaves worldwide, with appearances on Mutant Radio (Tbilisi),
Rinse France, and The Lot Radio (NYC).

With Superski, his project alongside Voiski, he’s in full takeover mode following the release of
their debut LP, Mondo Moderno, and an electrifying live set. In 2025, Eliott will release a new
solo record on Jennifer Cardini’s own Dischi Autunno
