About the artist

Housse de Racket

Paris-based duo HOUSSE DE RACKET may not be a household name yet, but their infectious blend of electro-pop and rock has been making waves in the music scene for over a decade. Comprised of Victor Le Masne and Pierre Leroux, these two cheeky chaps have been enchanting audiences with their energetic live performances and irresistible hooks since their formation in 2008. HOUSSE DE RACKET's music is a delightful concoction of catchy melodies, shimmering synths, and pulsating beats that is guaranteed to get your feet tapping and your hips swaying. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Daft Punk and Phoenix, their sound is a modern twist on classic French disco, with a touch of whimsy and a healthy dose of nostalgia. Their second album, "Alesia," is a true testament to their prowess as musicians, blending contagious pop hooks with moody electronic textures and soaring choruses. Tracks like "Chateau," "Roman," and "Monster" are the perfect soundtrack to a night of dancing and debauchery, with lyrics that are as playful as they are poignant. But it's not just their music that sets HOUSSE DE RACKET apart. These guys are known for their quirky sense of humour and irreverent charm, both on and off the stage. Whether they're poking fun at each other during interviews or sharing hilarious behind-the-scenes stories on social media, Victor and Pierre never fail to bring a smile to their fans' faces. So if you're looking for a band that will make you dance, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear or two, look no further than HOUSSE DE RACKET. With their infectious energy and undeniable talent, these Parisian lads are sure to win you over in no time.
