The Hacker

From his start in the hardcore technoscene, to the massive success he found with Miss Kittin; Michel Amato aka The Hacker is one of today's most talented and innovative French artists. With influences from Electro (Kraftwerk) to New Wave music (The Cure and Depeche Mode) and familiarity with the French rave scene of the early 1990s his sound is well defined, yet original. (2007)

Hostage Radio Vol. 11 - The Hacker

Interview - http://www.stockholm-syndrome.net/index.php/011hacker/

This month's edition of Hostage Radio is an extremely personal one for both of us and we couldn't be prouder. As an artist, he's always been and continues to be a huge influence on us. He was one of the first international DJ's that Pyz ever booked for an event he was running at the time, 'Access' in Edinburgh.  Some of the very first records Wil-tron​ ever bought were the collaborations with Miss Kittin​ on International Deejay Gigolo Records​. 

His uncompromising and unique blend of electro, EBM & techno consistently sets dance floors on fire and from his early release to his new works under the name Amato Michel’s mastery of synth always resonates with us. Ladies and gentlemen, we're both humbled and honoured to present THE HACKER​!

The Hacker Boiler Room Grenoble x Vertigo 20-year-anniversary DJ set

Michel Amato, aka The Hacker, has a long and varied career in music. From his early begins in a new wave band to his work with Miss Kitten and releases on International Deejays Gigolos, and creating the electro-clash craze, he's had a far reaching influence on the electronic music world.

In 2015, Michel began a new project called Amato. Influenced by early EBM, German techno and new wave, he began producing tracks under his new moniker. The first one to be released, called Physique, came out on the Minimal Wave offshoot Cititrax Tracks Volume One EP and was a dancefloor success. His debut solo EP entitled Le Desordre et La Nuit was released last year, integrating his love of the new wave to form four EBM tinged techno funk hits.

This podcast was recorded live at Good Room on 06.23.17 at the Cititrax party.

Good Room Podcast 098 - The Hacker presents AMATO Live

The Hacker live recorded at 6 Year Wrong Era the 10 December 2016 at Griessmühle Berlin.

The Hacker at 6 Year Wrong Era (10-12-2016)

BUY VINYL: http://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/vinyl/the-hacker-le-theatre-des-operations-2xlp
We are honored to announce the latest album from Michel Amato aka The Hacker, ‘Le Théâtre des Opérations’. Michel began making music in 1989 a the age of 17 in Grenoble, France. He grew up listening to New Wave bands like Duran Duran, The Cure and Depeche Mode as well as the darker side of electro Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire and D.A.F. In 1990s he released a series of 12” singles and an album of cold, calculating and relentless techno. In 1997 he teamed up with Caroline Herve aka Miss Kittin and to release landmark singles and albums that effortlessly channeled the carefree spirit of 80s electro pop (of which we released an EP of lost demos back in 2015). Michel’s new live project sees the enigmatic artist go back to his roots, performing a 100% analogue set directly inspired by his first true loves of New Wave and dark, powerful techno.


‘Le Théâtre des Opérations’ features 8 new tracks spread evenly across 2x12”s cut at 45rpm for maximum sound quality and DJ utility. The title comes from a metaphysical journal by French-born Canadian science fiction writer Maurice G Dantec. Passionate about avant-garde techno, The Hacker has taken his influences and crafted a potent homage to the power of the synthesizer. Songs veer from gritty, raw EBM to dark, subterranean electro, effortlessly channeling the strains of the Michel’s musical DNA: Front 242, Jeff Mills, Dopplereffekt, Drexciya. The only vocal track features an appearance by longtime friend and collaborator Miss Kittin, named “Time X” after the French science fiction television series Temps X. All songs have been mastered and lacquer cut by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Cover artwork features a collage by London-based artist Anthony Gerace, and each copy includes a postcard featuring a photo of a young Michel from 1989.

The Hacker - Camisole Chimique

The Hacker has long been turning out essential electro sounds that show off his mastery of his synths. But November will see him reveal another side when he releases analog album Le Théâtre des Opérations on Dark Entries. It finds the Frenchman indulge his love of EBM, techno and wave music and cook up a rugged, gritty and raw selection of tracks that joins the dots between Jeff Mills and Front 242, Dopplereffekt and Drexcyia. It’s arresting and unpredictable from start to finish. 

Happily, the live artist and producer indulges all those passions and more on this blistering one hour mix. It explores every facet of electro, from squelchy and dark to smooth and grooving. It’s a history lesson, really, that takes us through the musical adventures of The Hacker as well as electro at large. Turn it on, turn it up and turn yourself on to a master of the form.
