Koudlam, La Mverte & Franky Gogo

**Koudlam** was born in 1979 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and grew up between Africa, North Dakota, Mexico City, and the French Alps. As a teenager, he discovered electronic music through pioneers of the rave scene and composed tracks on 4-track recorders that are now lost. In 2006, he self-produced Nowhere, blending rave, rock, and baroque music influences. Settling in Paris, he collaborated with artist Cyprien Gaillard and signed with Pan European Recording, where he released Live at Teotihuacan (2008) and Goodbye (2009), an apocalyptic pop driven by See You All, which became an underground hit. He followed this up with Alcoholic’s Hymn (2011) and Benidorm Dream (2013), a futuristic symphony inspired by the mirror-city of Benidorm. After a disappearance dedicated to ornithology and the study of primates, he returned in 2022-2023 with Precipice Fantasy, a double album inspired by the wanderings and hallucinated conquests of 18th-century adventurers.

**La Mverte** releases his new album Media Nocte in January 2026 via Canto V / Les Enfers.

It follows the singles Witches & Wicked Bodies, Last Dance, and Breathing In,

Breathing Out.

**Franky Gogo**, born Tatiana Lejude Mladenovitch, is a Franco-Yugoslav artist residing in Paris, who can be defined as white, agender, trans, left-wing, dyke, and queer as fuck.
