The Janski Beeeats project is shouldered from 2007 by the musician and illustrator Jansé who is one of the upcoming figures in the artistic community of Tours. Off stage, he writes a comic (inspired by japanese manga) that tells the story of the young Janski. On stage, Jansé embodies his character and plunges us into his universe, thanks to the video projections. With his chiptunes, synthesized melodies and frenetic beats, he turns the dance floor into a Space Invaders game ! Unlike other electro music shows, Janski Beeeats is not a DJ and he most certainly knows how to add a touch of rock’n’roll to his performance. His incendiary guitar skills and keytar solos make him a real Electro Hero.
After touring Japan and supporting bands like Ebony Bones, DJ Missill, Alex Gopher and John Lord Fonda in France, he will be releasing his new EP « Game Planet » on September, 27th on the label Un je-ne-sais-quoi. He was also chosen to perform at Le Printemps de Bourges festival in 2010 as one of the best upcoming electro artists in France.

"Label: none. Not for long, me thinks. Janski's beats disarm the electro-tried-and-tired ear with outstanding instrumental melodies. If 'Theme from S-Xpress' were composed today it would sound something like this. Like Digikid 84, there's a light- heartedness at play that instantly draws in the listener. And there you stay, wanting more, grinning blissfully. Programming and production skills meet hilarity when computer keyboard sounds are used on 'Junky Beats XP'. The revolution is alive and well when elements from our everyday, electronic enslaved existence are used to such liberating effects. The star shaped key is the outstanding track. Like with the best of 70's and 80's analogue space disco, you will fly high on an endless keyboard melody that builds through key changes (yes ladies and gents KEYCHANGES) and arrangements while remaining digital by nature, busting with cracking beats.
Listening to this week’s acts, I see a welcome return to serious skill and vision that delivers a long awaited alternative to the trash brigade. And of course it's all from France."
