The Avener

On Saturday, 12 December 2026, the Warehouse in Nantes will host The Avener for a DJ set conceived for the dancefloor. Behind that name is Nice-born producer and DJ Tristan Casara, who first made his name with his rework of “Fade Out Lines,” before establishing a signature sound that sits between melodic deep house, electronic pop and echoes of folk and blues. Trained on the piano and honed in the clubs, he cultivates the art of reinterpretation and mid-tempo productions where melody takes centre stage and the voice appears as a colour among the textures.

On stage, The Avener moves between revisited classics, remixes and original tracks, in the vein of the French Touch of the 2000s, with an effective, unpretentious sense of groove. In 2026 he opens a new chapter—more disco, house and club-focused—a more direct sound oriented toward the collective. In Nantes, his set will highlight this turn, blending the signatures that revealed him with his new, party-ready impulses.

Opening the night, Dan Bono and Colette will set the mood with house selections and progressive builds before handing the booth over to The Avener.
