For the seventh year, Electropicales comes out on Reunion Island to play. The 2015 program will, once again, be multifaceted like the cube chosen as the emblem. With Saint-Denis as the playground, the festival of electronic music and visual arts strikes the hour of playtime from May 4 to 9 – #Playtime!

After Wondercity comes Playtime

It is under the playtime theme chosen for Electropicales #7 that the festival of electronic music and urban culture on Reunion Island will engage the city of Saint-Denis from May 4-9, 2015. From its seven years, the festival’s Electropicales still has not reached the age of reason and offers to get to the heart of fun and discovery: Patio City Hall will be converted into a dance floor for the opening night on Wednesday, and Thursday night will have the theme of clubbing in the night bar as the Pot’irons of Cathedral Square will be turned into street parties. Friday and Saturday, the rugby field of Champ-Fleuri will be adorned with three scenes, and sound system fans will enjoy reggae on the Jamaican Block, electronic music sometimes pop sometimes groove on the Playground, and intimate sounds at the Silent Green Room.

As in every year prior, special attention will be paid to the set design and visual arts of the event. Studio Corium, straight from Geneva, will provide a great dress playground scene of his VJing, while Victor Corroleur will be in control of the Jamaican Block, as a cloud of gray graffiti with 1 Chloรฉ Robert, Mumushick & Oneshoz or Floe, will color the revisited site into a giant playroom. Open your eyes to the wonders!

The program:

Wednesday, May 6, 2015
Opening Night Isautier by the former City Hall of Saint-Denis

Like last year, the evening will open with a conference followed by a cocktail and a DJ set with, among others, present Mawinbi Power Magic. The event is open to all and free!

Clubbing @ The Pot’irons

Never change a winning team: the Pot’irons are full of clubbers every Thursday. The most dynamic bar in town offers new this year, a dance class with Kinta tracking DJ set with Zandrine or Ankytrixx, the Indian acclaimed DJ Bombay Times.

Friday, May 8 & Saturday, May 9, 2015
Electrocity

This is the Before Electropicales in the center of Saint-Denis. Enjoying a Friday holiday, a real block party is planned for Cathedral Square. The whole crew So Watts, led by Psychorigid, Boogie, and Cszyz Fluidz will keep you dancing for five hours straight from 5 pm to 10 pm. And the next day it will be getting up to J-Zeus and the highly-anticipated DJ Spoko.

Friday, May 8 & Saturday, May 9, 2015
Jamaican Block, Playground, and Silent Green Room

The Jamaican Block scene hosts sizes of its kind for the 2015: the Scot Mungo’s Hi Fi, the Londoner but Mad Professor Lord Zeljko Reeko Stereo and Mighty Lion. This is the cream of the sound system reggae held on a single stage.

The Playground scene gives way to sounds both moist and sexy, hybrid and offbeat groove. South Africa will be honored on the big stage with Fantasma, Avneesh representing Mauritius, and Pachanga Boys will make everyone feel the rhythm of their electro pop psychedelic tropical raves as they did recently in Burning Man.

New this year is the arrival of a third special stage. Silent Green Room is fifty helmets that will be available to listen to DJ sets that mix in silence!
