Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul

Electronic duo Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul perform at Outernet Live on Charing Cross Road, a London venue whose programme centres on electronic music. The pair's sound blends pop, club rhythms and sharp social commentary.

Charlotte Adigéry, a Belgian indie pop singer active since 2017, and Bolis Pupul, a Belgian musician, form an electronic duo based in Ghent. The Guardian called them club provocateurs, and their electro-pop takes cues from Grace Jones and David Byrne. Their 2022 debut album, Topical Dancer, released on Soulwax's DEEWEE label, addressed racism, misogyny, post-colonialism and vanity on social media, with a playful tone.

Pupul released his debut solo album, Letter to Yu, on DEEWEE in 2024. The duo's forthcoming record, Mainland Madinina, was written in Belgium and Martinique and co-produced again with Soulwax. Its title refers to the places of origin of both members: mainland China and Hong Kong for Pupul, and Madinina, the Indigenous name for Martinique, for Adigéry. The album explores grief, parenthood, diaspora and colonial history, with a sound that moves from house and synth-pop to post-punk and ballads.

The duo have performed on Later... with Jools Holland and at Glastonbury and Sónar. Outernet Live is a London venue on Charing Cross Road that mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on electronic music, so the evening suits listeners drawn to that style.
