Rock ’n’ roll back to @buspalladium.club for one night. The first real return of that raw guitar-driven spirit inside those walls, carried by a new Parisian generation somewhere between post-punk, underground nightlife, fashion, sweat, tenderness and chaos. Bodies colliding under the lights, cigarettes burning in the dark, kids dancing like the night could disappear tomorrow.
What used to belong to another era suddenly felt alive again. Not nostalgia, not imitation, but a new scene trying to create its own mythology inside a place that already carries so many ghosts.
For me, this night had something deeply special as a photographer. I knew the old @bus_palladium , photographed and filmed the place before the transformation, before the works, before everything changed. Coming back into this new version of the venue, feeling that energy again, and doing it on my birthday night felt strangely spiritual, like witnessing a cycle closing and another one beginning at the exact same place.

. DON’T PANIK. But PANIK.
2007 @elyseemontmartre
PANIK wins Best Party at the FG Music Awards — the institutional seal on a night built by word-of-mouth, dog-eared flyers and the stubborn loyalty of a crowd.
Since 1999, Fabrice Brovelli, Denis Legas and Christophe Caurret have been booking everything they love, charts be damned.
Justice, M.I.A., Hot Chip, SebastiAn, Vitalic, Brodinski, Pedro Winter, Yuksek, all played there before the world caught on. 100+ parties, 300 DJs, Paris but also New York, Berlin, Bamako, Reykjavik.
These images never hit the internet.
One, and only one social media existed then.
After 11 years away, @theunitedfreaks and POP present :
