Kid Francescoli

Kid Francescoli is the stage name of Mathieu Hocine, a French producer based in Marseille. His project blends electronic pop, dream pop and a gentler strand of dance music. From his earliest records, his intimate songwriting has been supported by synthetic arrangements and clear, uncluttered melodies. With With Julia, conceived alongside singer Julia Minkin, the vocals take the lead and the sound opens up toward a brighter pop.

Play Me Again broadens the spectrum between indie pop, electronica and touches of disco or Balearic music, while Sunset Blue explores a more contemplative atmosphere without losing the rhythmic pulse that underpins his songs.

Live, Kid Francescoli brings this repertoire into a more organic band format: keyboards in the foreground, flexible rhythms, warm bass and vocal lines that float without excess. On November 5, 2026, at Sala But in Madrid, he will present a set that alternates danceable pulses and suspended passages, with restrained crescendos and choruses that stick with you. From material ranging from Lovers to Sunset Blue, reinterpretations and arrangements with room to breathe follow one another, preserving a clear identity between nocturnal pop and Mediterranean echoes, designed to move without haste and to leave space for detail.
