Tonight we bring you Gallic groover Sebastien Tellier, he of epic smooth tune La Ritournelle and new electronic erogenous-zone tickler Sexual Sportswear. Tellier has been leading the French new wave on le dancefloor for the past couple of years, alongside Justice, SebastiAn and Mr Oizo, and his new LP Sexuality, produced by Daft Punk Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, is a beauty. Tonight marks the first of four French exchanges, part of Stage of the Art where we host a French band here at the ICA and then zoom on the new supervite Eurostar to see some up-and-coming Brits play at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris the following night. It will be saucy, smoochy, bangy heaven.
Support is from Paris-based 3-piece Poney Poney.
