OFFICIAL SELECTION – M for Montreal present : Choses Sauvage, Hologramme and Virginie B

Montreal’s Choses Sauvages impresses with the radical nature of its proposal. Their dance-punk songs unfold skillfully and intelligently on their albums and fully captivate the audience when performed live. Irreverent and explosive, Choses Sauvages' shows carry an inimitable electrifying atmosphere. Known for their stage presence, the members of the band led by the incandescent Félix Bélisle make it a point to set any stage on fire. The audience is inevitably treated to a hypnotic, heart-pounding, and more danceable concert than ever. Their latest tour has seen them present their material on major stages in Quebec as well as internationally, including in France, Spain, Belgium, the UK, Germany, and Mexico. They have featured in the lineup of several major festivals, including Pitchfork Music Festival Paris, Printemps de Bourges, MaMA, Pete The Monkey, and Mad Cool Festival. Their third album was released on March 2025 on the Audiogram label.

Hologramme is the alias of Montreal musician and producer Clément Leduc. He creates atmospheric and dreamlike electronic music blending house, UK garage, and ambient sounds. His debut album Felicity (2019), composed in Berlin, launched his career and established his signature aesthetic. Known for genre-blurring collaborations with artists such as Dominique Fils-Aimé, Fakear, Ouri, and Lunice, his music also extends into fashion and film, with works featured by Chanel, Audemars Piguet, and KAWS. A key figure in Montreal’s electronic music scene, Hologramme blends live performance and DJ sets using modular synths, and has played major festivals including Osheaga, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, and Piknic Electronik. With over 9 million streams and strong support from tastemakers like BBC Radio 6, Clash Magazine, and Mixmag, he is set to release two highly anticipated EPs in 2025, including his first collaboration with Anjunadeep, continuing his international rise.
