  World-renowned artists from all corners of the globe are scheduled to take part: Elvis Crespo (USA), Celso Fonseca (Brazil), Yemi Alade, Ash Hicklin (UK), Emyli (Japan), Jaran Hereid (Norway), Jeroen Swinnen (Belgium), Lister (France), Maria Mathea (Sweden), Carlos Okabe (Japan), Pete Barringer (UK), Sayen (Spain) and Thomas Boulard (France)
  
  It will kick off on June 3 and the TOP 10 exclusive tracks will be revealed in dedicated session during Midem on Thursday, 7 June at 17:00 – 17:30 @Music Lab and a full documentary will be broadcasted after Midem.
