The finest fizz, crack and squeak noises in electronic music today can be found with French producer Philippe Hallais. Aureoles of white noise shimmer around his techno rhythms, while it clicks and creaks in the soundspace beneath: That’s how his abstract beats attain an odd physicality and gravitation.

He delves into new myths of the hero figure in the mirror of the rampant virtualisation of the world.
