Blending beautiful tunes is far from new for the Soulwax brothers. Back in the dark days of 1999, David and Stephen started a DJ-show on Belgian national radio, called ‘Hang The DJ’, where they did exactly that. Years before bootlegging reached the trendy pages of The Face, they were already making their own mixes for inclusion on the show. Inspired by the philosophy of one Grandmaster Flash, they cut together the best bits of funky tracks into an even funkier mix. It was then that classic mixes of Blackstreet with Grandmaster Flash, Beck with Prodigy and Beastie Boys vs. Herbie Hancock with INXS vs. AC/DC saw the light of day. Praise the Lord.

SALUT C´EST COOL
SYNAPSON DJ SET
L´Ososphère was born in Strasbourg in 1998, the reflections of the creators of
La Laiterie, a room for contemporary music and their desire to explore new artistic forms. The Ososphère has developed a program of actions around digital cultures, deployed in Strasbourg's time and space: electronic nights, exhibitions, artistic trails, screenings, concerts, sound cruises, workshops, conversations, radio . Initially organized at La Laiterie, and without returning regularly to its home port, The Ososphere has invested many other places in Strasbourg, becoming ephemeral
public spaces: the tower of the Seegmuller pier, the buildings of the Coop in the Port
of the Rhine, the Aubette cinema-ball, the campus park of the University of Strasbourg,
canals and public squares ... so many fields of experimentation and creation to question a new City Art. Through its actions articulating electronic music, visual and performative arts, public debate and publishing, L'Ososphère accompanies the urban transformations at work today and the place of culture in the city's factory.
2017 edition is here this spring with a tremendous line-up that will make vibrate
the city to the brim!
