Meute

The German collective Meute returns to Paris to ignite the Zénith. Prepare for a unique experience where techno meets the raw energy of a marching band.

Meute, this musical phenomenon from Hamburg, has established itself on the international scene with an audacious formula: transforming techno and deep house classics into anthems played exclusively by acoustic instruments. Founded in 2015, the group, recognizable by its red and white marching band uniforms, has created an unexpected bridge between orchestral rigor and the freedom of electronic music. Their repertoire includes remarked covers of tracks by artists like Laurent Garnier, Flume, and Deadmau5, reinterpreted with precision and power that are their own. This innovative approach has allowed them to perform in both underground clubs and major festival stages.

Meute's concept rests on entirely acoustic instrumentation, composed of percussion, brass, and woodwinds. The absence of computers or synthesizers is key to their distinctive sound. Each musician, whether drummer, trumpeter, saxophonist, or tubist, contributes to recreating the complex textures and rhythms of electronic music. This configuration requires remarkable technical virtuosity and ensemble cohesion, allowing the group to generate contagious energy instantly transmitted to audiences. Their performances are a demonstration of musical force and creativity.

Attending a Meute concert means living an immersive experience where the boundary between public and musicians seems to fade. The energy radiated on stage is palpable, inevitably inviting dancing. Their ability to recreate a DJ set's atmosphere with traditional instruments is fascinating, transforming each track into a collective celebration. This Paris stop at the Zénith is an opportunity to discover or rediscover this techno fanfare that has reinvented live performance codes. It's a meeting for all those seeking an experience both familiar in rhythm and radically new in form.

Zénith Paris – La Villette, with its modular configuration, offers an ideal setting to host Meute's sonic power. The hall, known for its ability to create an intimate atmosphere despite its size, will allow the public to fully enjoy the crafted acoustics and group's stage presence.
