Armed with her guitar and looper, Lila creates an atmosphere that is sometimes blue and mysterious, sometimes red, electric, and concrete. Her themes: the gray of boulevards, the poetry of rain and night.

Her music, which she describes as “cold wave,” draws its inspiration from post-punk/cold wave, shoegaze, and industrial music.

Her first album, CLIVOTA, was released on January 12, 2024, on the Croux Records label.

Secret Wife is the scandalous narrator of our passionate, fallen love stories. She sings of haunting thoughts, guilty pleasures, and lost loves. All set to 90s vinyl records, which she takes care to slow down.
She is a romantic depressive, and probably the secret daughter of Bernardino Femminielli and Mylène Farmer...

Both Rachid and Bowie... that's Atef Aouadhi.
When he slips into the shoes of DJ Rachid Bowie, Atef produces sets with confident and masterful jukeboxing, where electric and electronic sounds are sensitively harmonized, drawn from elegant beats, alt-pop anthems, vibes, and minimalist wave.
