La réplique: the festive canteen of La Bâtie!
This summer, La Bâtie sets the table at La Réplique. The festival steps into the kitchen, pulls up a chair and keeps the spirit of the house alive.
For sixteen days, the restaurant becomes a lively meeting point – a place to eat, drink and stay awhile.
From 28 August to 13 September, it’s all about the buffet featuring fragrant mezze, slow-cooked delights, seasonal vegetables and homemade sweet treats.
Vegetarian, meat-loving, sweet or savoury – everyone builds their plate like a favourite tune.
All dishes are homemade, served with care, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere you’ll want to come back to.
At the bar: cocktails, organic wines, local beers – the perfect pairing for sharing platters and long conversations.
Whether between shows or simply for the joy of being there.
In the kitchen: Laura Vaissade.
Behind the bar: Pascal Müller.
A duo who knows their score – and plays it in harmony with the whole team.
Open 7 days a week | 5:30pm–1am
Fridays & Saturdays (and the eve of the Geneva fast) open until 2am
Restaurant service 6 pm–11pm
No reservations required
Résonances
To draw attention to this year’s line-up and extend its reverberations beyond the stage, seven “Resonances” events will be organised throughout the festival. Developed in collaboration with La Réplique, they will highlight the richness of the local musical landscape by inviting some of the region’s most discerning collectors to share their curated selections. A freeform listening experience, somewhere between discovery, contemplation and dancefloor pulse – a true musical aperitif to kick off the festivities.
Line-up
Friday 29 August
DJ C.Sugvr
(R’n’B / Hip Hop – echoing the concerts by Chien Bleu, Milla et Al-Walid)
C.Sugvr is a DJ and above all a cultural player from Geneva, working with SuperWak Clique and Colors Records. He's a djing insider with innovative performances and sets focused on technicality, sophistication and the unexpected, and above all he's passionate about teaching the next generation of DJs. Inspired by the Afro-American musical tradition, C.Sugvr deftly fuses the timeless complexity of the classics with contemporary sounds.
Saturday 30 August
DJ Jean Toussaint
((Jazz / Spiritual Jazz – echoing Alabaster DePlume and Yalla Miku / 10-year Anniversary of Bongo Joe Records)
A big digger of vinyl of all kinds, Jean Toussaint has specialised in tropical music from the 60s, 70s and 80s in recent years, which he has played on many dancefloors in France and Switzerland. For this dj set at La Bâtie, he returns to his first love, which he has never stopped listening to and collecting: jazz! Whether in modal, spiritual, hardbop or even funk form, he'll be bringing out his best tapes for the occasion, and will be showering the terrace of the replica with a multitude of blue notes to the delight of his listeners.
Friday 5 September
DJ Flamenco Nomada
(Flamenco / Andalusian Music – echoing Israel Fernández and Diego del Morao's concert)
Marina Jiménez is passionate about flamenco, which she sees as a living, committed and constantly evolving art form. Born in Spain and based in Geneva for the last 7 years, she builds bridges between cultures through a deeply human and artistic approach. For her, flamenco is much more than an art form: it's a universal language, a territory of memory, resistance and emotion. She is the founder of the Festival Flamenco Nómada, which in just three editions has become a benchmark in Switzerland, thanks to a programme that combines internationally renowned artists with local talent. Her aim is to promote flamenco in all its diversity, in close collaboration with the cultural dynamics of the region.
Saturday 6 September
DJ Pascal Viscardi
(Musica Italia - echoing Giorgio Poi et Tam Bor, and Ludovico Paladini's performance)
A collector, archivist, party maker, producer and singer in his spare time, Pascal is a sunny, creative and resolutely singular DJ, with his heart divided between Lake Geneva and Vesuvius. From -70 to +145 BPM, Pascal gives us the scent of the islands, made up of lascivious rhythms and deliciously anachronistic synths. From fake-dub-reggae to mutant-disco, from German outsider-pop to Italian unknowns, the 45s crackle along in masterly succession.
Wednesday 10 September
DJ Belama Sounds
(Soul / R’n’B - echoing Evita Koné's concert)
A daughter of the African diaspora, brought up on the radio waves - a cord enabling her to stay connected to her origins across the countries in which she grew up, all the way to Geneva - singer/rapper Evita Koné embodies her alter-ego, Belama Sounds, in the role of DJ “selecta” to take her audience on a dancing sonic journey. Funk, disco, soul, rap, RnB, house: Belama Sounds highlights black culture across the map of the globe, across time, and through our bodies and hearts.
Thursday 11 September
DJ Mehdi Barclay
(70s Rock / Psychedelic Pop – echoing the psych-infused side of the music programme: Meatbodies, Snapped Ankles, Magic&Naked…)
Every Saturday on Couleur 3, Mehdi Barclay tells you the story of a cursed artist or record from the old world. In the evening, he's happy to dip into his decadent collection; from groovy country to reggae and Latin music, he prays to the groove gods with a strange consistency. Psychedelic music from all over the world!
Friday 12 September
DJ Disco Toi & Moi
(Swiss Scene / Pop – echoing Swiss talent and the programme’s pop eclecticism: Magic&Naked / Peter Bjorn & John / Moictani / Ilajan…)
Mahi and Tristan began their mix on cassette five years ago to mark the anniversary of the famous Geneva music label Bongo Joe. Disco Toi & Moi took shape a few years later in a slightly different form. The couple, who love flea markets all over the world, started collecting audio cassettes. At the same time, the duo had fun making edits of unreleased or unobtainable tracks, mash-ups and even their own remixes. This mix of styles and musical approaches was to become the trademark of these cassette DJs, whose sets were inspired by the energy and eclecticism of 2manyDj's (Soulwax) and the underground discoveries and guilty pleasures of James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem).
