This show is all about the distorted basslines and electro-infused beats which have dominated a new French sound.

Expect to hear big tracks such as Stardust and the story of its creation by producer Alan Braxe, plus brand new music from Mr Oizo, Poney Poney and Busy P.

Hanging out with Cassius and Ed Banger Records' head honcho, Pedro Winter, and getting kitted out in Kitsune clothes with Gildas, Kissy tours the designer-clad city to investigate how it works.

Kissy climbs Sacre Coeur Montmatre to see where Jim Morrison is buried, Sebastien Tellier, David Guetta and Bob Sinclar talk about their Parisian nights out and Justice teach Kissy French phrases to help him on his travels.

Music and fashion merge in Paris, with labels having their own clothing lines and Justice putting together music for catwalk shows. Ooh la la!
