More a phenomenon than simply an event, the bi-monthly party CONCRETE has reshaped the Parisian electronic music landscape, forming a space of confluence that goes against the city’s reputation of catering to only fragmented, insular musical scenes. Tomorrow on January 6th, 2013 will be reined in with a line-up featuring Rick Wilhite, Tama Sumo, Fred P and Professor Inc who will collectively weave a thread through the cities of Detroit, New York, Berlin, Paris and Hamburg on the banks of the Seine. The 20 hour party begins at 7 in the morning on Sunday and, in classic Berlin style, will continue until Monday at 1AM. Check out more info on the event here, and view the full line-up on CONCRETE’s website. And, as an apt teaser, check out Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium doing his thing at CONCRETE’s party this past February:

Kompakt kid Sebastien Bouchet hails from Paris but plays to a different tune from the omnipresent electro that you might (still) find in the French capital. Tonight he’s descending upon Le Nano as it opens its cabaret doors up to an evening of electronic percussion you might as well find in Berlin or Cologne. And what could be a better warm-up for the all-day CONCRETE party ahead on Sunday…

Entry is free, and it all goes down at 22:30. Check out more info here.

The esteemed voice of Fabrice Paineau, editor of Double Magazine, described the photography of Camille Vivier as “light as feathers, round as breasts, these images are voluptuous, straightforward, they swallow everything.” The work of Camille Vivier, which has already been showcased by the likes of Numéro, Grey, Another Magazine and Dazed and Confused, provocatively obsesses over the body, both it’s modern and ancient connotations.  Head down to 12Mail in Paris before November 16th to catch a collection of her best works; a collection explicitly and outwardly frozen in beauty, that reveals far, far more than its mere visual exterior initially suggests.
