“Voices from the Lake” an Italian duo made up of DJ/producers, Donato Dozzy and Neel, warmed up the dance floor with their hypnotic vibes at the first night of the Nuits Sonores music festival in Lyon.

The Italians are among more than 200 artists of 22 nationalities performing at this year’s urban festival, an event that continues to invest in some of the most remarkable industrial heritage sites and public spaces of the French city.

“I like all kinds of music. Both in my work with Donato and in my solo work I play techno, house and ambient music.

A highlight of the opening night was the live performance of Egyptian-Lebanese group Halawella made
