Athenaïs is a French producer, live performer and DJ based in Berlin.
Founder of coucou records: a label, event series and collective fostering creative experimentation, open-genre music and community.
As a singer and musician, Athenaïs captivates audiences with bewitching vocals, harmoniously fusing 80s synths, poetic lyricism, field recordings and improvised melodies. Inspired by genres like New Wave, Synth-Pop, Dark Disco and Psychedelic Rock, she blends electronic and acoustic elements to create an hypnotic soundscape.
Athénaïs gained recognition through her eclectic debut album 'Codes Lumière,' which led her to perform at festivals such as Fusion, Dockville, and Garbicz, as well as clubs like Sisyphos, Watergate, Renate, Katerblau, Ritter Butzke, and Departamento in Mexico. She has also supported acts like Kerala Dust and Thylacine.
Athenaïs is excited to announce the release of her new single,“IRUKIH,” on November 8th, 2024. IRUKIH marks the beginning of a new chapter in Athenaïs’ sound, as it leads into her forthcoming electronic album, “LÂCHER-PRISE,” set to drop in April 2025 on her own label, Coucou Records.
IRUKIH is inspired by Athenaïs’ first trip to Mexico, capturing the desert's mysticism and raw power. The track blends distorted French vocals with an acid bassline, layered over cosmic synthesizers, creating an hypnotic drive with a touch of retro '80s nostalgia. IRUKIH reflects Athénaïs' love for both psychedelic rock and electronic music, with rhythms influenced by the Berlin’s club scene.
The single is being released under Coucou Records, a label and collective fostering creative experimentation, open-genre music, and community. Focused on blending eclectic sounds, Coucou aims to explore the music palette- from the intimate warmth of acoustic textures to the pulsating beats of electronic music. By bridging the gap of the “in-between” Coucou encourages a fusion of styles that invites listeners to experience music in fresh and innovative ways.
