It all started over ten years ago with a poetry workshop. Christophe Lhuillier was then an educator at the Institut Médico-Éducatif (IME) in Bourg-la-Reine: "We launched a writing workshop with my colleague Claire. From the first session, their texts and way of declaiming inspired us, and I started adding music to it.
After a first self-produced album released on the internet in 2012, they met the members of the group Moriarty during a workshop at the IME: Arthur Gillette and Eric Dubessay were charmed and became Astéréotypie's bassist and drummer alongside Christophe on guitar and Benoît Guivarc'h on keyboard. Thus, they joined the independent label Air Rytmo (created by the members of Moriarty) which produced their second album L'énergie positive des dieux in 2017.
The documentary of the same name, directed by journalist Lætitia Møller who follows them from the IME to concert halls, provides the public with understanding keys and receives several awards. It perfectly accompanies the release of the third opus, Aucun mec ne ressemble à Brad Pitt dans la Drôme, in spring 2022, which receives a warm welcome from the public and great critical success.
Since then, Astéréotypie has toured concert stages and festivals throughout France. Everywhere, their uniqueness has made a mark. After 10 years of existence, the collective finally met their audience and is considered a fully-fledged group. Their new album, Patami, is about to be released.
Josy Basar from Metz constructs minimalistic electronic music with catchy rhythms and haunting melodies. Inspired by the rural landscapes of the East, commercial areas, and party hall atmospheres, his tracks with melancholic candor summon both French chanson and lo-fi synthpop club, reflecting his love for Grauzone, Ruth, Molly Nilsson, and Arno. He performs on official stages as well as in alternative venues. His career has been particularly marked by a tour in Eastern Europe, Czech Republic, and Slovakia, opening for Princess Chelsea.
