Miss Kittin & The Hacker – 1000 Dreams
It’s been a while between drinks for trailblazing French electro duo Miss Kittin & The Hacker, having focused their time and energy on solo projects since heading their separate ways back in 2002. They reconvened a few years back to work on a few tracks, quickly finding the chemistry was still there. A new album was hatched, and now it’s finally due for release. With a mountain of iconic electro in their discography, you can be assured the new album, appropriately titled ‘Two’ – after all, it’s their second full length release! – will satisfy older fans, while also winning them a new generation. We caught up with The Hacker, aka Michel Amato, recently while he was in Paris preparing to hit the promo trail for the album’s release.
