comment...: |
Thematically the duo delves into prayer (pagan or otherwise), funeral rites,
transitions between worlds, as well as “the pleasures of the flesh, dance, and
ecstasy – like a divine invocation through music.” Their music blends EBM, Cold
Wave, New Wave, and radical techno, and whereas German dominated their first
album, this time it’s English. The album also features voices close to the
group: Vimala Pons, Sonia DeVille, Rahim Redcar (formerly Christine and the
Queens), and Farah. The mixing was done by Stéphane Alf Briat (Air, Flavien
Berger, La Femme). On the visual side, Théo Mercier and Erwan Fichou, long-time
collaborators, went looking for inspiration from Jean Cocteau’s “Orpheus”. The
duo will be touring across France and Europe later this year.

Kompromat is a collaborative project between French electronic music producer
Vitalic (Pascal Arbez-Nicolas) and singer Rebeka Warrior (Julia Lanoë), known
for her work with Sexy Sushi and Mansfield.TYA. The duo formed Kompromat in
2019, drawing inspiration from early Berlin techno, blending genres like
Electronic Body Music (EBM), Cold Wave, New Wave, and radical techno. Their
debut album, “Traum und Existenz”, was released in 2019 under Clivage Music,
Vitalic’s label. The album features tracks predominantly in German, such as
“Niemand” and “Possession”. And now on January 24th 2025, Kompromat released
their second album, “Plдying / PrдyingG”, on Warriorecords.
