French 79

Crowned the heir to the French Touch and dubbed by Jean-Michel Jarre himself, Simon Henner (French 79), has established himself as an essential pillar of the global electronic music scene. In the space of three foundational albums (Olympic, Joshua, and TEENAGERS), the Marseille-based producer has shaped a singular, immersive, and viscerally unifying musical universe. If his music reaches far beyond the boundaries of the techno sphere, it is thanks to its synesthetic power: his harmonic sequences and arpeggios transform sounds into emotional landscapes, creating a universal connection with his audience.

Today, the impact of French 79 is reflected in staggering numbers. He gathers a community of 770,000 fans and accumulates over 1.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify. His first three albums have generated more than 150 million streams, driven by music videos that exceed 50 million views. He continues to rack up prestigious certifications, with two export platinum singles (Diamond Veins and Lovin’ Feeling), not to mention the resounding diamond single Moon, produced and co-composed for Kid Francescoli.
