Utopia - Prélude
DJ Set
We’ve handed over the keys of the Citadelle to the Utopia festival for the season’s first prelude—a sneak peek of Utopia’s 4th edition!
Jack de Marseille, Mila Dietrich, Sara Zinger, and the Berlin-based Younger Than Me will be representing Utopia!
→ JACK DE MARSEILLE 💙🤍
A pioneer of electronic music, Jack De Marseille has played a key role in the rise of the French electronic scene as a DJ, producer, and head of the label Wicked Music. Since the late 1980s, he has performed in legendary clubs and renowned festivals. He co-organized the Atomix events and was even the first DJ to join the inaugural Daft Punk tour.
Open to diverse circles, he has composed music for fashion shows dedicated to Paco Rabanne, Castelbajac, and Jean-Paul Gaultier, and contributed to the soundtrack of the stage adaptation of Trainspotting. The success of his sets earned him the title of Best French DJ by electronic music and culture magazines Coda and Trax.
In the 2000s, he entered the international Top 100 DJs list by Max magazine. In 2015, he founded the Jack in the Box festival.
→ MILA DIETRICH 🎸🎸
Inspired by her background as a drummer in various rock and metal bands, Mila Dietrich’s tracks take us on visual journeys infused with references to alternative cultures. Mila embraces her musical eclecticism and passionately advocates breaking down the barriers between genres. Her mixes—blending techno, punk rock remixes, emo trap, and trance—combined with her extraordinary on-stage energy, make her sets unique and widely unifying experiences.
Her debut album, released in 2021, introduced audiences to a striking persona inspired by the Joker and cinema, which shapes her entire project alongside rock culture, a constant influence since her early musical days. After releasing numerous singles over two years, the artist now presents her new album You Will Never Be Alone, featuring highly personal sounds ranging from techno and trance to hyperpop and emo trap.
→ SARA ZINGER ⚡⚡
The DJ & producer, powerfully and charismatically embodies the perseverance of an electro generation constantly reinventing itself. Sara Zinger has been active in the electronic music scene for several years. In 2018, she won the BPM contest (a national electronic music producer competition). Her rock and new wave inspirations, combined with her calm vocals over her tracks, recall the electroclash style of a certain Miss Kittin.
Sara is a multi-talented artist: her résumé includes roles as a radio host at Rinse FM, a model walking for a major brand, and a music journalist for Trax and Modzik. She has also appeared on screen as an actress. Close to the fashion world, she also composes music for runway shows during Paris Fashion Week.
→ YOUNGER THAN ME 👶👶
Younger Than Me is originally from Italy and based in Berlin. His music fuses 1990s genres such as progressive house and breakbeat. A resident DJ at Tempio Del Futuro Perduto in Milan, he also performs in Paris, Nantes, Warsaw, Tbilisi, and Bordeaux, as well as at Berghain in Berlin. His latest album, The Golden Age Of Love, has been critically acclaimed.
