Sète, beyond the festival

Sète, a wonderful small town on the French Mediterranean offers more than just the breathtaking festival!  A fascinating port, charming canals, delicious seafood,....

The festival season is once again here.  Festi fever everywhere: California had Coachella, Barcelona had Primavera and Sonar ....  Last week, mister Gilles Peterson served  for the 6th time the WorldWide festival under the blazing Mediterranean sun of Sète (France). 

 

After last year I couldn't resist to buy a gold pass for 5 days of stunning music.  In less than 6 hours the high speed train brought us to the South of France.  An hour later we were already dancing on the beats of Prommer & Barck at the C.R.A.C. street party.  

At the most idyllic spot of this fishing town, the magical Théâtre de la Mer we enjoyed the hairy disco tunes of DJ Harvey and the amazing performance of James Blake.  Lucky there was a hot sea-breeze that brushed our goosebumps away.

The Pyramids

With sand between our not so bronzed toes we shaked in the afternoons on the ACD beach where Boiler Room vs. Young Turks, Quantic, Rainer Truby, Dam Funk and local Laurent Garnier made it even more tropical.  

The Phare du Mole lighthouse was the venue for some midnight music tale stories:

Konono 1 with their own individual sound

Raphael Saadiq with a not so likable show, but hey .. we are not complaining  

David Rodigan, a genius teacher in the old school dub step and reggae music

Cut Chemist, fo' sure he can scratch

Mount Kimbie, omg .. I'm blown away 

And the cream de la cream: Jamie xx, Joy Orbison, Flying Lotus live with Dorian Concept and Richard Spaven…  a musical mecca!!

And last but not least our own Belgian music guru Lefto aka the Belgian hip-hop-ambassador and Brownswood soldier.

I don't think a film career will be on my resume, but here an attempt to make a video and more pictures:
