If you've ever raised your arms to “Starlight”, you know what I'm talking about. This track released in 2001, its iconic music video, that instantly recognizable bassline... It’s one of those songs that transcends generations and sticks to the memory of successful nights. And guess what? On March 14th, the genius behind it is heading near Lille.
An evening designed to be a true experience
The French experience goes beyond just a simple night out in a club. It’s a quarterly traveling event, thoughtfully crafted as a complete experience, with a clear artistic direction: celebrating the iconic artists of French Touch in exceptional venues. Expect house, disco, and electro vibes. Carefully crafted lights. An audience that’s really there to dance (and I mean really dance). And that sensation of living something a little special.

For this first one, the setting is at Matériaux Authentiques in Tourcoing, the legendary antique dealer with incredible character near Lille. It's a raw space filled with objects, materials, and volumes: a backdrop that instantly adds another dimension to the evening.
The Supermen Lovers: impossible not to know
To kick off the concept, La French aimed high. Very high! On the lineup: The Supermen Lovers, an international icon of French Touch and the composer of the cult classic Starlight. The one everyone recognizes within seconds. Released in 2001, it became emblematic of the French Touch movement, leaving a mark on clubs, radio stations, and an entire generation. The music video? Intriguing, retro-futuristic, and unforgettable.
