Nicolas Sfintescu (aka DJ Freak) founder member of the label Circus Company, and his stage partner Ezechiel Pailhes are together, Nôze.
An adventurous electro-band from Paris who have been praised by the press since their live gig at the Sonar festival this year.
Nôze are two comrades, two troublemakers full of life, joy and happiness, often wearing their straw hats and stripping off their clothes at the end of their show after anything musically has been touched.
