The message fell on Tuesday afternoon. Posted on the networks of the Brestois Astropolis festival and the Rennes collective 35 Volts, he pays tribute to Cellé, a young DJ well known from the Breton electro environment. The young woman died on Saturday, at the age of 31 “from a long illness,” said the two associations. “Célestine was a great sun for us all, a force of inspiring nature, a generous soul and a smile that we will never forget”.
At the beginning of March, the DJ had posted a message on its social networks, explaining that it has recorded a set “in complicated conditions, and somewhat original, in the hospital” where it had been admitted two months earlier “for important health problems”. In this message, she explained that she was “looking forward to returning behind the turntables and on the dancefloor”. She will not have had the chance to be able to do so.
Before arriving in Brittany, celebrated had made her classes in Lyon, where she had invested in the Limbololo Soundsystem where she mixed techno music and the chalcted rhythms of reggaeton and Afrobeat. She then migrated to the west to reach the Electro Astropolis festival where she was a resident.
Célestine also had a foot in Rennes, especially within the Haut-Quincé farm and the collective 35 Volts, which paid tribute to him. “There was always something magical in the sets of celebrated: a vibe as festive as it is irresistible,” wrote the two associations in a common message. Celebrated had played on the scenes of great festivals such as sound nights, trans musicals and even mythos.
