The duo’s first release was an EP with the Japanese label Let’s Get Lost, the naughty child in the expansive Mule Musiq label family. The Marvin & Guy project was born under the shadow of a palm tree while a flamingo listened to tropical music, way back in 2011. Marvin & Guy are in big demand across Europe with shows in every major city and are touring Asia before their show in Dublin. Their ability to spin from Techno to Disco has led the duo to be selected for a monthly residency in Barcelona's iconic Club Nitsa/Apollo. Marvin & Guy have released records on John Talabot's "Hivern Discs" and other major labels such as "Correspondant". Redeemer expands upon Payne’s multitude of influences and pushes them further, deeper and harder than ever before, laying the groundwork for new mutations in electronic music. Released to coincide with his regular appearances at the Berlin nightclub, the Anubis 12’’ continues to delve into Payne’s penchant for combining post-industrial textures with techno rhythms.In Fall 2017 Phase Fatale released his first full length debut album Redeemer on Hospital Productions along with an extended mix 12’’ of edits co-produced with Silent Servant. These events were followed up with an EP on Unterton, the sublabel of Berghain’s Ostgut Ton imprint. He released two EPs in 2016 on Jealous God and presented a live collaboration with Silent Servant during the label’s showcase at Berlin Atonal. This joining of sinister productions and cold atmospherics sculpt the landscape of future war.Phase Fatale has performed heavily throughout the world with his extended DJ sets and cathartic live performances. Defined by rigid drum programming, cutting synthesizers and bleak samples, he has created a sound imprint that has transformed into a new electronic identity. Started in 2014, Phase Fatale served as an outlet for his own interpretation of darker and industrial-fused techno. Originally from New York, Payne explored the post-punk/coldwave world through various projects over the course of a decade. Phase Fatale is the techno project of Berlin-based DJ and producer Hayden Payne.

Closing track La Chute is the band at their most Angelo Badalamenti, with mournful organ and wheezing gasps giving way to what sounds like gentle applause, but in actuality is the last frames being fed through a film projector. The band’s first composition, Carcajou appears here for the third time in an entirely different incarnation - Marie’s vocals alternately yearn and taunt, diving into and out of layers of drum machines and analog synthesizers. Similar in tone, Retox begins with an air-raid siren that explodes into electronic pulses and spiraling handclaps, with Pierre’s solemnly spoken vocals countering Marie’s sensual cadence. Facing The Music is an excellent demonstration of this dichotomy - its throbbing electronic percussion and sawmill synths racing towards a seemingly-inevitable climax, only to disintegrate in an instant. Their musical language is vibrant and varied - comparisons range from Film Soundtracks, Electronic Body Music, Disco, and Minimal Techno, with sensually-delivered lyrics exploring the themes of fantasies, obsessions, and the feeling of “The Void”. The mix of drawling guitars, français mumbles, and minimal electronics caught the ear of DFA Records, who booked the pair to open for Factory Floor on their first North American tour. Essaie pas was born on a hot summer night in 2010, releasing some ultra-limited singles which culminated in their debut LP, Nuit de noce (Teenage Menopause Records) in 2013. Both are respected musicians in their own right - Marie having released two acclaimed solo records, with Pierre being best known for production work on underground Canandian musicians such as Dirty Beaches and Femminelli. Montreal-based electronic duo Essaie pas is comprised of Marie Davidson and Pierre Guerineau.
