Mondkopf imposed himself as 2009 French electronic revelation, and gave a new definition of French sound, from club music to electronica/IDM. Rightful heir to Brian Eno according to Les Inrocks, and direct successor of Modeselektor for Trax magazine, Mondkopfearned the respect of DJs such as Agoria, Busy P, Boys Noize and even James Zabiela. Mondkopf’s live performance was voted one of the 5 best lives of 2010 by Tsugi magazine, and yet, he decided to reconsider and change his live to mesh with the spirit of his new album,Rising Doom. Mondkopf worked in collaboration with the multimedia design agency Trafik to conceive a brand new experience for both ears and eyes, made of black and white tension, rekindling the sensations of rave party as exorcism and mystical experience. The innocence of Galaxy of nowhere is gone : Rising Doom embraces the influence of extreme metal in a very personal way. In this intense album scattered with melodic bangers, Mondkopf worked intensely on saturation and organic textures. Urgency and anguish are the two cornerstones of his coherent new album in which light is so rare it is all the more stunning, and each song composed as if it were to be the last. Will apocalypse be one final inferno? Certainly more like a diffuse intuition of evil, infecting every single thing that we may/could love.
