A DJ set by Meech De France, conceived as a musical journey through rhythm, movement and collective energy.
Drawing on house music, hip-hop, jazz, funk, soul, Afrobeat, broken beat and electronic music, Meech De France creates a vibrant dialogue between musical heritage and contemporary dancefloor culture. His selections navigate freely between deep grooves, percussive rhythms, vocal textures and powerful basslines.
More than just a succession of tracks, Solar System is an invitation to connect. The set celebrates the club as a space of freedom, expression and shared memory. Each transition is designed to build momentum, leaving room for improvisation, surprise and the energy of the audience.
A dancer, choreographer, musician and DJ, Meech De France approaches the decks through the body. His sets are intimately linked to movement: they invite you to feel the rhythm, respond to it physically and take part in a collective experience.
For Art Explora, he offers an open and inclusive musical moment, where generations, cultures and dance styles come together around the universal language of rhythm.
Meech of France
Michel Onomo, known as ‘Meech’, is a dancer, competitor, choreographer, DJ and sound designer. He discovered dance at a very young age and developed a versatile style fuelled by street dance. He is now recognised as one of the leading figures on the international freestyle hip-hop and house dance scene.
His technical skill, musicality and originality have earned him two victories at Brian Green’s House Dance Conference in New York, as well as four world titles at Juste Debout. His career has been shaped by his time with the groups Sanrancune, alongside Joseph N’Guessan and Thony Maskot, and Quality Street, as well as his immersion in traditional African dance.
As a dancer and performer, he has collaborated on the artistic projects of Franck II Louise, Rabah Mahfoufi, Iffra Dia and Bintou Dembélé. He has also broadened his artistic vocabulary through tap dancing and body percussion with Leela Petronio and the Hip Tap Project troupe.
Drawing on his wide-ranging practical experience, Meech’ obtained the DEJEPS ASEC PTR qualification as well as a diploma in choreography. Since 2007, he has been developing his own creative projects as a choreographer and sound designer, with a strong focus on passing on his knowledge. In 2013, he created Ghôst Flow, a movement and dance method that explores memory, freedom, rhythm and transformation through the body.
Today, he is the choreographer for Jacques Offenbach’s opera-ballet-museum La Belle Hélène.
Overview of the Artist's Work
Meech De France’s work is driven by the relationship between sound and movement. Whether on stage, in a dance circle, during a workshop or behind the decks, he creates spaces where improvisation becomes a tool for dialogue, transmission and transformation.
His artistic world stems from the convergence of hip-hop culture, house dance, Afro-diasporic rhythms, electronic music and contemporary creation. He links movement to musical memory, performance to listening, and individual energy to a collective experience.
Through Ghôst Flow, a movement he founded in 2013, Meech De France invites everyone to reconnect with their own movement, musicality and creative potential. His work champions a dance that is vibrant, free and accessible, in which the body becomes a space for storytelling, sharing and transcendence.
