As Britain's answer to cult industry festival SXSW, The Great Escape showcases the rising stars of tomorrow's world.
The French delegation is out in force this year, with 15 artists playing a wide range of styles. Get lost with the Robert Wyatt-infused mellow songs of Julien Gasc, the electronic R&B of SÔNGE, or the '80s melodies of Fishbach.
Listen below to a priming playlist hand-picked by the folks at Oui Love.
The Great Escape takes place in Brighton between 18 and 20 May, get tickets on their website.
Fishbach, KillASon, and Fauna Twin play the Oui Love show tonight in London - RSVP on Facebook.
