French producer Joachim Pastor plays live at Bikini Test, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, on Friday 27 November 2026. The melodic techno night runs from 10 pm to 4 am.
The story
Joachim Pastor is a French melodic techno DJ and producer. He made his name within the Hungry Music collective and label, alongside Worakls and NTO. His work spans more than ten years.
His music blends orchestral harmonies, hypnotic melodies and cinematic sounds. He cites Daft Punk, Jean-Michel Jarre and classical music among his influences.
He signed with Armada Music in 2020 and released the album Greater Message that year. In 2021 he scored the documentary The Final Season. In 2023 came the EP Adrenogate and the track Blank Page.
His album PHANTOMGRID came out on 10 October 2025 on Armada Music and Hungry Music. Its ten tracks explore memory and perception, using artificial intelligence as a creative tool. A documentary accompanies the album.
He has played Dour, Tomorrowland, Paléo, Solidays and Delta Festival. He reports more than one million monthly listeners on streaming platforms.
Bikini Test grew out of Association KA, founded in 1988 by musicians, visual artists and other creators. The club opened in May 1992 in the “Anciens Moulins” (Old Mills), a mill dating from 1766. A fire damaged it on 9 March 1999; it reopened exactly one year later.
Who organises it
The night is organised by Bikini Test, a concert venue in La Chaux-de-Fonds run by Association KA.
