Début de Soirée (in French pronounced as /deby d(ə) swaʁe/, literally Beginning of the Party) was a French pop music duo which had a huge success in 1988 with their song "Nuit de folie", a number-one single in France.
Released for the first time in 1984 while the 2 singers were DJ in nightclubs in the south of France, the song "Nuit de folie" didn't meet success. They had difficulties in finding a record company to re-release a new version in 1988. However, the song was a great success : "Nuit de folie" was even the best-selling single of 1988 in France. It is currently still regarded as a classic dance music song.
The band split in 2004.
