French Electronic Music had its formal boom in the late 80s. It gave birth to a movement that would deeply touch the music world and would remain one of the great musical cultural adventures of that time. Long before this crucial decade, several French artists had experimented or played little or no instruments to produce electronic music. From the 90s onwards, History begins!

Boosting the development of French electronic music

Developments such as House and Techno, the two flagship currents of electronic music and "DJ culture" formed a global and relatively homogeneous movement, evoked today using the general term "electronic scene". A labyrinthine universe, and a great source of inspiration for the development of French electronic music and genres such as Frech House, the latter of great popularity.
Conocida como la “Ola francesa”, esta cultura electrónica tan rica, comienza con el año de la organización de las primeras raves a inicios y mediado de los 90s.

Pioneering artists of French electronic music

How not to mention Schaeffer Pierre and his research work on concrete and electroacoustic music in the 50s, his disciple Henry Pierre who, with his musical works, was undoubtedly the first to compose music made to dance with electronic instruments.

Jacques Jean and his Ondioline, one of the first electronic instruments, with whom he composed countless jingles and sound illustrations that initiated a whole generation to these new sounds, or even Marouani Didier , founder in '77 of the group Space, which also enjoyed worldwide success . And finally, how can we forget Michel Jean Jarre, also a disciple of Schaeffer Pierre, who popularized music made with synthesizers thanks to the worldwide success of his concept album Oxygène.
That said, it is impossible not to pay tribute, at least by quoting their names, to these glorious pioneers of electronic music in France, regardless of the genre in which they expressed themselves.
