Meute

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

Meute, the musical phenomenon from Hamburg, has established itself on the international scene with a bold formula: transforming techno and deep house classics into anthems played exclusively by acoustic instruments. Founded in 2015, the group, recognisable by their red and white brass band uniforms, has managed to create an unexpected bridge between orchestral rigour and the freedom of electronic music. Their repertoire includes notable covers of tracks by artists such as Laurent Garnier, Flume, and Deadmau5, reinterpreted with their own unique precision and power. This innovative approach has allowed them to perform in underground clubs as well as on the biggest festival stages.

The concept of Meute is based on an entirely acoustic instrumentation, composed of percussion, brass, and woodwind instruments. 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 demands remarkable technical virtuosity and ensemble cohesion, allowing the group to generate a contagious energy that instantly transmits to the audience. Their performances are a demonstration of musical strength and creativity.

Attending a Meute concert is an immersive experience where the boundary between the audience and the musicians seems to blur. The energy emanating from the stage is palpable, inevitably inviting you to dance. Their ability to recreate the atmosphere of a DJ set with traditional instruments is fascinating, transforming each track into a collective celebration. This visit to Paris, at the Zénith, is an opportunity to discover or rediscover this techno marching band that has reinvented the codes of live performance. It's a must-attend for anyone looking for a musical experience that is both familiar in its rhythms and radically new in its form.

Le Zénith Paris – La Villette, with its adaptable configuration, offers an ideal setting to host Meute's powerful sound. The venue, known for its ability to create an intimate atmosphere despite its size, will allow the audience to fully enjoy the refined acoustics and the group's stage presence.
