Okre

In electronic culture, there are nights when rhythm ceases to be mere entertainment and becomes a language once again. Nights where you don't just go to listen to music, but to go through a total experience. It is precisely this ambition that gave birth to OKRE.

The kick-off for this adventure will take place on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

From 10 PM to 5 AM, Hall 2 of the Espace Congrès Robert Schuman will transform to welcome 3,000 people for a full night.

OKRE brings together four essential figures of the global electronic scene, pioneers and builders, artists whose names resonate from the underground clubs of Chicago to the beaches of Ibiza, via the dancefloors of Berlin and New York. A night for lovers of house, techno, and Chicago House, driven by sets that tell stories and music that transcends time.

NIKITA

Nikita is an essential figure of the French underground techno scene, active since 1996. Trained in violin and piano, she traded sheet music for turntables, developing a raw and edgy sound that blends rave heritage with a radical artistic vision. Having passed through Rex Club, free parties, and the biggest underground festivals, Nikita takes dancefloors on uncompromising sonic odysseys.

LAOLU

Laolu develops a unique sound that fuses Afro House, deep house, and West African influences. His remix of Dele Sosimi's Too Much Information, released in 2015 on Innervisions, became a critically acclaimed hit. His tracks are played on benchmark labels such as Innervisions, Crosstown Rebels, Defected, and Anjunadeep. An artist whose music traverses continents as much as it tells their stories.

SETH TROXLER

Seth Troxler has become one of the most respected figures in global electronics. His style embraces minimal house, techno, and eclectic influences ranging from Chicago House to post-punk. In 2012, Resident Advisor ranked him number 1 worldwide among DJs, and Mixmag named him best DJ of 2013. Nominated for a Grammy in 2023, he single-handedly embodies the underground at its most demanding.

LIL LOUIS

Considered one of the founding fathers of House, Lil Louis is a living legend whose influence permeates all electronic music. His track French Kiss (1989), sampled by Madonna in 2026, remained number one in the United States for two weeks and sold 6 million copies worldwide. With his album From The Mind of Lil Louis, he blends jazz-fusion, R&B, and house, laying the foundations of an inexhaustible heritage.
