Buckle up your seat belts! There are only 140 days left until the opening of the International Magazine Symposium, COLOPHON 2007! Our online directory now holds a whopping database of 1032 magazines including 362 publishers. Keep them coming...

One highlight of COLOPHON 's programme will be The Eclectic Electro Pop Party, on Saturday 10 th March 2007 in Rotunda 2, Luxembourg City . We are proud to announce that, after the cocktail, we will welcome several international live bands and deejays, amongst which you'll discover and enjoy the French live act ONE –TWO.

On their new album “Love Again” this Paris based duo has produced a perfect mix of superb 60s style ballads with energetic pop songs and some electronic twists.

Crazy beats mixed by Stéphane “Alf” Briat - the sound maestro - who has already worked with such luminaries as Air and Phoenix, will provide the ultimate party atmosphere.

ONE -TWO were elected finalists for “Les Inrockuptibles CQFD 2005 Contest”. Their next step was to produce the track “Stay Beautiful” for the Swedish hip-hop act, “Stacs of Stamina” and to remix Tiefschwarz “Warning Siren” paving the way for a pop-style masterpiece.

The band will be presenting their latest album including the ear-catching hit “Oh yeah, all right” at The Eclectic Electro Pop Party organized within the framework of COLOPHON 2007.
