Kompromat (FR)

Kompromat is the result of a collaboration between Pascal Arbez-Nicolas (Vitalic) and Rebecca Warrior (Sexy Sushi, Mansfield.TYA). Their first joint album Traum und Existenz, released on Vitalic's label Clivage Music in 2019, laid the foundations for their dark and hard electronic universe. In January 2025, Kompromat returns with the album PLДYING / PRДYING, released on Warriorecords (Rebecca's label). With this record, the duo delves into the themes of prayer (pagan and non-pagan), funeral rituals, transitions between worlds, and, similar to the invocation of deities, captures ecstasy, dance, pleasure and carnal pleasures through music. The duo delights in blurring boundaries and proves it with their new record, which blends EBM, Cold Wave, New Wave and radical techno. While the lyrics on the first album were in German, the new album is sung in English. On the record, we can register the duo's close surroundings, represented by the voices of Vimala Pons and Sonia DeVille, which sound like echoes from other worlds.
