Sure, Paris Fashion Week may be among the city’s most premier events, but what if every street corner, café, and metro platform transformed into one citywide rave, one major jam session that brings DJs into crowded streets full of party people? Every year, on June 21, Fête de la Musique spills live music onto every street and alleyway in a celebration where Parisians truly embrace chaos. In tandem with Paris Fashion Week, Fête de la Musique offers a different view of the culture—one that feels less snooty, less luxury-fashion-forward, and more anarchic. Live from Earth, a Berlin-based artist collective that platforms some of the more experimental and explosive names in electronic music, hosted a scorcher party where guests immersed themselves in adrenaline and energy. With Skrillex, Dylan Brady of 100 gecs, ALCALTRAZ, MCR-T and newcomer Naisha among enthusiastic ravers, sweaty bodies pulse with rhythms blaring from speakers that definitely aren’t up to code. Is it a block party or an illegal rave? No one cares, and no one should. Metro rides are pregames, kebab shops turn into after hours lounges, and sleep is but a myth—at least until the sun rises, when everyone stumbles to the Seine, dazed, euphoric, and still dancing.
