Solis Arcadia Off: Romain Fx, Stella Zekri

Solis Arcadia Off · Open Air: Last Party Before Boarding

Solis returns to the quays of La Rotonde for one last Parisian dance before setting sail for its festival Solis Arcadia, scheduled from July 31 to August 2.

With the sun as our compass and music as our current, we open the evening outdoors for the first time, running until 10 PM. At nightfall, we change course for an XXL-format night: three rooms, three atmospheres, and a nocturnal roaming until dawn.

In the Atrium:

Stella Zekri and Romain FX will take the controls for a musical crossing. Stella’s style is felt before it can be defined: a mix guided by emotion, where groove takes precedence over mechanical precision. Between house, disco and deep textures, she crafts warm, organic sets informed by a vinyl culture and a keen sense of bodily movement — a sensibility she also extends with Stella and the Longos, a sensual project with boogie and zouk accents.

Alongside her, Romain FX, founder of Fauve Radio, head of the record shop The Pharmacy and organizer of the ROAM parties in Hong Kong. He has since played at major venues and events such as Panorama Bar/Berghain, Sónar, Wonderfruit and Nuits Sonores, where he performed a live set alongside Laurent Garnier. As a DJ and producer, he cultivates a borderless vision of the dancefloor, where every melody brings people together.

In the Refuge and the Mini-Club:

Maï-Linh, an artist with a finely tuned ear and a highly personal approach, shapes intense and sensitive sets that move between forgotten rarities and nostalgic surges. A prominent figure on the scene, she has made her mark through residencies at Macadam and on NTS Radio, while developing CTW Podcasts, a platform dedicated to an eclectic, cosmopolitan scene.

Smiling Phases is a Parisian label and collective driven by a deep love for ’90s house and progressive music, developing a groove-oriented, warm identity resolutely focused on the dancefloor. They will be represented by NairLess and Bri for a 100% vinyl back-to-back set, drawing from 90s sonorities — between hypnotic textures, raw energy and club warmth.

The collective High Kollektiv takes control of one of the two rooms to celebrate its 10th anniversary, family-style. Founders of the APK festival, which evolved into Solis Arcadia, they have been active on the Paris underground scene for a decade.

For the occasion, they invite Rivka, a sonic aesthete who draws on the roots of house, techno, new beat and electro, reviving 1980s textures with contemporary freshness. Raised on club culture since her teens, she constantly explores the margins of electronic music. Her precise and singular selection reflects an instinctive approach to the dancefloor, always shaded with darker nuances.

Finally, Boboxa — another founding collective of Solis, operating between Paris and London — will be in charge of the open air set to launch this crossing.
