The Hacker

Legendary French DJ and producer The Hacker debuts on Radio Slaves Rekids with the Laser & Smoke EP on 21st February 2025. The two-track Laser & Smoke EP harkens back to The Hackers early 90s roots in Detroit-inspired Electro & Techno. First, he starts with Turborave, a tasteful, bleepy cut with an unignorable bassline and muted dub chords that wash over its snappy groove. Turborave is the kind of heads-down, lose-yourself dance?oor moment for the later hours before Harmonia sees The Hacker play with high-voltage cables on the B-side. Charged-up zaps and zippy acid call and respond while bodied drum hits keep the rhythm moving, whistles and pads occasionally joining in.

Pioneering DJ and producer The Hacker is renowned for being a leading proponent of Electroclash in the early 2000s, his Techno and EBM-infused sound, and iconic collaborations with Miss Kittin. With releases on labels like Dark Entries, Mannequin Records, and Turbo, as well as remixes for Air, Soft Cell, Dave Clarke, and Front 242, The Hacker remains a vital force in electronic music. He now adds Radio Slaves Rekids to his extensive discography for the ?rst time via the Laser & Smoke EP.
