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

nutrasweet (www.houztekk.com , Vienna)

Originally a child of the rock n roll area, the native born upper Austrian was infected by the electronic music scene in the mid nineties. In the first years he was mainly influenced by the dub and downbeat scene that has taken over Europe during this period.
In 1999 nutrasweet moved to Vienna, to spread his vision of music in the Austrian capital. The first self organized parties followed soon, combining soul, funk, hip hop and UK broken beats, long before this sound swapped over to continental Europe.
At the same time nutrasweet joined the well-respected houztekk collective, who were responsible for organizing parties with the likes of Christian Vogel, Dave Tarrida, Jahcoozi, Len Faki or Marcel Dettmann.
Heavily influenced by the music coming from Detroit and Berlin, his musical style begins to evolve into this direction. Nowadays nutrasweets DJ sets are always danceable and deep. His sound is driving but never brute. The perfect symbiosis for head and feet. Deep pulsating music for the darkest corners of the club.
