New: Arnaud Rebotini


A new previously unreleased track by electronic artist Arnaud Rebotini.

Rebotini has been active as a member of Black Strobe, an act formed in the late 90s that were very much influenced by industrial electronica bands like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb, releasing their first album proper Burn Your Own Church in 2007. They have also worked on remix and production projects with a huge variety of artists including Depeche Mode, Bloc party, David Guetta and Rammstein.

Rebotini has remixed Noir Desir for their 1998 One Trip/One Noise album under the name Zend Avesta.

His solo debut Music Components was released in 2009, making full use of analogue synth equipment to produce and experimental electronics, recorded at his own studio over a period of three days.

His most recent album Someone Gave Me Religion came out in May this year,and two EPs were also released, Personal Dictator and All You Need is Techno, each of these releases featuring a variety of mixes of these tracks.

It's a brilliant album, modern but with the innovative spirit of earlier electronic music innovators.

Worth listening to on the strength of the track The First Thirteen Minutes of Love, a piece very much in keeping with work by synth pioneers of the 1970s like Tangerine Dream, although closer to their darker work on albums like Logos than their more upbeat soundtrack material they later became better known for.

Rebotini is performing live in Moscow on September 9 and in Hamburg on September 17.
