Last show for 2020 and we'll proudly broadcast one more recording from the past:
"????? ?????: ??????? ??????? ?? ??? (???? ??? ??? ????)"
opening set by ??????

Holeg Spies was part of the very first generation that was won over by techno music in the ????? 90? at the time he was studying law in Paris. By 1994, having become one of the DJs hosting the fast-multiplying, sometimes gleefully illegal raves of the time, ????? and ???? ????? joined the French DJ booking pioneer ???????, and flew off to India for the first official tour of electronic music there. Not just a trip, but an adventure. And it was followed by many more.

First there was the music production adventure, managing a division of the trailblazing techno music label ????????? (???/????????), but especially composing his own music.

In 1996, the ????? project introduced the intermixing of musical genres that Holeg is still pursuing today. These unshackled works escape all classification, getting lost in the confines of electronic, industrial rock, symphonic and psychedelic music. Spies will morph through different versions throughout the 2000s and even move into avant-garde audiovisual creations, exhibited not just in the Paris Pompidou Centre, but also in Tokyo, New York and Geneva. This would be Holeg’s first brush with the world of film that would become so important to him.

In Japan in 2001, where he was regularly invited to perform thanks to the British group ???? ??????? (which contributed to the soundtrack of the Matrix film series), Holeg crossed paths with his first filmmaker, the notorious ??????? ?????, for whom he made an audiovisual remix of one of his most famous films, ???? ??? ??????. Then one thing led to another. First composing music for the trailer for ??? ?????? ?? ??? ???????, produced by ??????? ???, then the encounter in 2007 with Australian violinist ??????? ??????, ????? ?ℎ??? ?? ?ℎ? ????? ?ℎ??ℎ??????? ???ℎ????? ?? ??????, with whom he created ?????? & ?????, a tandem as complementary as it is creative.

The first ?????? & ????? soundtrack had a lasting impact. In 2009, a mysterious Dutch filmmaker, ??? ???, contacted them to compose the music for his film. The film is called ??? ????? ?????????, and the concept behind its horror is so macabre that it instantly became a cult classic. Building on this success, Savage & Spies carried on from one production to the next.

After 5 albums, dozens of EPs and multiple film scores, it took two more trips to the far corners of the world, one to Arizona with the Hopi Indians and the other with the nomads of the Mongolian steppes, for Holeg to create his new opus in 2019, ???? ?????: a powerful musical collection in the form of an invitation to an amazing “trip” where he combines all his influences.
