Jingle Zbeul Party : J-Zbel + Almond Butyl + + Brahim Lumière & Erevan DJ

Now based between Marseille and Lyon, Bamboo Shows is heading home for the holidays and making a stop at Le Périscope on Tuesday, December 22nd, for its Jingle Zbeul Party. On the programme: a heady mix of festive, euphoric sounds to wrap up 2026 on a note of collective joy.

A chance for the three masked supervillains of J-Zbel to return home too, hot on the heels of their EP series, aptly and rather sadly titled “NoNutVember”. Cult figures of the Lyon scene and undisputed masters of Neuneu sound, this flagship BFDM project has been gleefully tearing apart the codes of old-school rave and contemporary hard dance for the past decade, with a heady blend of hardstyle, ’90s trance, gabber and breakbeat. Having traded their rural thug disguises for cowboy outfits, they’re back with an epic live set, punctuated by an outrageous number of “yeehaws”.

But above all, the night sees the long-awaited arrival of Almond Butyl on Lyon soil. After several years touring across Europe with Agar Agar, the French producer has continued exploring new sonic territories as a solo artist, following the release of her debut album, “Natural Idol”. Decked out in bizarre costumes and armed with a collection of flutes, she conjures up a playful, colourful queer universe, with more than a passing resemblance to the sound world of Animal Crossing. Blending mischievous drum’n’bass, pitch-shifted vocals and wonky melodies, her live set weaves together absurd little stories, eccentric dances and joyfully unpredictable electronic experiments.

Kicking things off, Brahim Lumière and your very own Erevan DJ will take turns behind the decks, serving up a wonderfully haphazard selection of hallucinatory tracks, somewhere between slug dancing, post-internet fractals and psychedelic barroom madness.
