Pascale Project is Pascale Mercier’s solo project. Based in Montreal, she’s been active in the musical scene since 2008 and has released a few albums/EPs and played many shows across North America and Europe. You can often see her dj at local clubs in Montreal or listen to her radio show on N10.AS. Her music could be described as a mix of pop/house/lounge. The vocals are powerful and the lyrics totally sincere and full of emotions, through that she’s trying to define the concept of partying and what it means to be in love. Originally a drummer, Pascale tries to incorporate any kinds of sounds and rhythms in her music, everything she listens to is important and inspiring for her.

His love for music and sounds of almost every kind has always led him to track down the roots of whichever genre or style his exploration lead him to, study them and reinterpret them.His DJ sets are following the same ethic; trying to follow every possible path from the origin to the present of the music he plays. They are journey through times and places.

As a member of Oyé digital art collective, Charline is also known under the name Lilith. She studied in graphic design at Boulle and Olivier de Serres schools in Paris and has since settled in Montreal, where her practice has developed to include installation and video performance. Her visual style is marked by the convergence of analog and digital technologies. 3D modelization, video synthesis and videofeedback, allow her to generate hypnotic textures that vibrate between the synthetic and organic. She uses visuals to explore mental processes and bring the gaze to reflection beyond the surface of the screen.
