When it comes to techno, electro, and more importantly Electroclash, few can argue The Hacker’s credentials. The Frenchman was instrumental in the formative years of these movements and being active since the mid-90s has meant his discography is positively bursting with pivotal moments from electronic music. It is nearly impossible to discuss The Hacker without mentioning Miss Kittin, with some of their work such as “Champagne” EP including seminal tracks “Frank Sinatra” and “!982”. This is of course only a small, but not very important part of The Hacker’s story. With a string of solo albums and countless EPs to his name, the cross-section of electronic music that The Hacker enjoys is wide. From spacey techno to grinding electro, Michel Amato has long been one of the first names in electronic music.
It is with obvious excitement that we present an extract from The Hacker’s headline set in Buenos Aires for party Of Dolls And Murder. His set is a tour de force through the many faces of The Hacker and he manages to fit in the many influences that has informed his musical directions from the beginning. Electro, techno, Indie-Rock infused stompers, raw drum machine grooves, New Wave style vocal, this mix has it all. This recording is a timely reminder of the Frenchman’s legend and that he is more than capable of taking on any of the new musical fads that care to step to one of the best in the game.
