Perturbator

Perturbator is the musical pseudonym of French artist James Kent, who is considered one of the most influential representatives of the synthwave genre. Since his debut, Perturbator has shaped the electronic music scene with dark, futuristic sounds that are heavily inspired by 1980s synthesizers, cyberpunk aesthetics and dystopian themes. His music combines nostalgic retro sounds with modern production techniques, creating an intense atmosphere that is both driving and eerie.

Perturbator's breakthrough came in 2012 with his albums "I Am the Night" and "Terror 404". But it was his work "Dangerous Days" (2014), which made him famous worldwide. This album combines energetic beats with cinematic melodies and is considered a milestone in the synthwave genre. His subsequent albums, including "The Uncanny Valley" (2016) and "Lustful Sacraments" (2021), show a further development of his style towards a darker, more experimental sound that integrates influences from industrial, darkwave and gothic rock.

Perturbator's music is not only an aural experience, but also a visual one that fits perfectly into films, video games and live shows. His soundtrack contribution to games such as Hotline Miami has brought him additional attention and cult status. Live, he thrills audiences with intense performances that are complemented by impressive light shows and visual effects. Perturbator remains a pioneering artist, pushing the boundaries of synthwave and enriching the soundscape of modern electronic music.
