Part of the Sesame project, Nerlov and MAHAYA bring a night of indie talent from France and Moldova. Nerlov’s blend of melancholy and electronic pop meets MAHAYA’s genre-bending soundscapes for a show that explores emotional depth and cultural exchange. Stick around for the afterparty with Baron P. & Oxy in Room 1, mixing house and techno, and Dynamic Bones in Room 2, throwing down house and breaks.
Nerlov sings his spleen on pop compositions, between James Blake and Deftones, but with a mini short, like to sweeten the melancholy pill. If the word can be frontal and cynical, it is always with humor that Nerlov invites us to be “léger, léger” (light-hearted). Survivor of the band Vedett, San Carol and Sheraf, Nerlov met Atom (C2C, Beat Torrent) and together, they gave birth to efficient productions, a tad hip-hop, a tad electronic. On stage, the drummer Simon Garnier accompanies Nerlov. After 2 EP “Je vous aimes tous” (I love you all), in 2020 and “Prophéties”, in 21, he became one of the revelations at the Printemps de Bourges (INOUïs). DPT, the new single out in February 2023, feat. with Magenta announces 2 other singles in the first semester and a brand new album.
