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)

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.
