Michel Amato's contribution to electronic music can barely be overstated. As The Hacker, and under different aliases, he has inspired generations of dance music fans and artists. Since his first release in 1996, Amato had a Techno phase, dipped into EBM, sci-fi tinged Electro and New Wave, but is perhaps most famous as a founding father of Electroclash. He met a kindred spirit in Miss Kittin and together they became of one the most iconic duos in electronic music, with hits such as ‘Champagne’ (1998) and ‘Frank Sinatra’ (2000) selling hundreds of thousands of records. In 2004, Amato released his most well-recieved album to date, ‘Rêves Mécaniques’, and the years since witnessed Amato put out a wide array of club mutations on many leading labels, including a double LP for his own label Zone. Today, he is as in-demand as ever, with a highly-acclaimed album, ‘Le Théâtre Des Opérations’ landing on Dark Entries in 2017 and contributions to tastemakers like Helena Hauff, Erol Alkan and Veronica Vasicka's labels since. In the live and DJ environment, Amato is as revered as he is on record, playing high-profile events such as Dekmantel, Berghain, Nuits Sonores and Off Sonar.
