Schlaasss (French: [/chlɑs/]) is a music group from Saint-Étienne, France, formed in 2012. The band consists of Charlie Dirty Duran (vocals), Daddy Schwartz (vocals), Kiki (music production), and Mekki (videos). Schlaasss' musical style, which blends punk, rap, and electronic music, is distinguished by raw lyrics, provocative humor, and a boundless stage energy.

The group is characterized by a DIY (Do It Yourself) approach and a strong desire to challenge musical conventions. Schlaasss quickly made a name for themselves on the French underground scene with their irreverent attitude and striking live performances, combining extravagant costumes with direct audience interaction.

Their discography has received favorable critical acclaim, praised for its originality and boldness. The group has garnered significant media coverage, appearing on platforms such as Canal+^[1], Vice^[2], Télérama, Hétéroclite, Gonzaï^[3], Noisey, Technikart^[4], France Inter^[5], Europe 1^[6], as well as on the show "Ce soir ou jamais!^[7]" hosted by Frédéric Taddeï. Author Virginie Despentes also contributed to their visibility by mentioning Schlaasss in Vanity Fair^[8] as part of the soundtrack for "Vernon Subutex" and by including them in her editorial carte blanche for Les Inrockuptibles, where the band was interviewed.

The albums Casa Plaisance and Schlaasss reflect the group's wild universe and their sharp critique of contemporary society. Schlaasss has also collaborated with artists such as Masto (Lucrate Milk, Bérurier Noir) and collectives like Dragones, further strengthening their commitment to the alternative scene.

After touring in Japan and performing in New Caledonia, Schlaasss continues to perform live, known for their chaotic energy, extravagant costumes, and direct, often confrontational audience interaction. Schlaasss enjoys a loyal fan base. Their refusal to conform to established norms, both in their music and in their image and lifestyle, has established them as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary French music.

Style and Influences

Schlaasss stands out with a bold fusion of punk, rap, and electronic music, characterized by raw, uncompromising lyrics and a provocative sense of humor. The group's sound is intentionally abrasive, combining energetic rhythms and aggressive beats that convey both the intensity of punk rock and the driving flow of rap. Their lyrics address themes of social critique, personal struggle, and rebellion, expressed with biting wit and a desire to shock and provoke.

Schlaasss draws from a wide range of influences, from Trap Music to artists like Divine, Tupac, M.I.A., Peaches, Die Antwoord, and Bérurier Noir. These inspirations are reflected in their eclectic sound and their deep commitment to the marginalized and the invisible in society. Their music, imbued with a spirit of resistance and defiance, aligns with the tradition of counter-culture and alternative movements, positioning Schlaasss as a unique and influential force in contemporary French music.

Their DIY (Do It Yourself) approach and refusal to conform to norms are evident in their live performances, renowned for their chaotic energy, extravagant costumes, and direct, often confrontational interaction with the audience. By incorporating these diverse influences, Schlaasss continues to evolve and expand their musical universe while maintaining a resolutely rebellious and engaged identity.
