Philippe Morvan has been an active member of the Rennes electronic music scene for several years now ; he presented a radio show called La Peau des Héros (Under the Heros’ skin) for 18 years on Canal Band performed more than a hundred time as a musician under the alias Iroskin. He created the Labtop Session shows, which are shows dedicated to electronic music taking place in several places in Rennes, as well as the Headphone Session shows, which are shows live-streamed through headphones while the audience is sitting in unusual places like apartments, offices or stores. Some of them were co-organized with the Electroni[k] organization.
