French producer Rakoon and the Tuzi Sound System collective perform at Bikini Test in La Chaux-de-Fonds. The electro, dub and reggae night takes place on Friday 20 November 2026, from 10 pm to 2 am.
The story
Rakoon is a producer from the French electro-dub scene. He released his first track, From the Ashes, in 2015. His third album, Something Precious, came out in 2021 on X-Ray Production. His music has gathered tens of millions of streams.
Bikini Test grew out of the Association KA, founded in 1988. Musicians, visual artists and artists without a venue of their own created it. They wanted to organise concerts, exhibitions, performances and happenings. Their aim was to develop rock culture in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
The first nights took place in several venues in town, including the Croix-Bleue and the Halle aux Enchères. From the second year, the monthly events drew about 150 people. The club then moved into Les Anciens Moulins, a mill built in 1766. The city had bought the building in 1870.
Renovated with a 900,000-franc municipal credit, the venue opened from 27 to 31 May 1992. Within five years, the club hosted some 450 cultural events. The Association KA also launched the street theatre festival La Plage des Six Pompes. It created the 2300 Plan 9 film nights as well.
A fire badly damaged the club on 9 March 1999. After safety upgrades, it reopened on 9 March 2000. Financial difficulties led to the loss of all permanent staff at the end of 2002. The club carried on thanks to volunteers, who run the bar, box office, technical crew and kitchen.
Who organises it
The night is organised by Bikini Test, run by the Association KA. A committee of volunteer administrators leads the club. Volunteers handle hospitality, the bar, technical work and the kitchen. The club also co-produces nights with other associations.
What to find
Rakoon blends electronic music with catchy melodies and atmospheric soundscapes. On stage, he plays with his machines and a guitar. The club describes his style as hybrid electro and dub.
Tuzi Sound System is a reggae and dub collective from the French Jura. It has been active since 2019. The group is known for its deep basslines and festive, committed reggae.
