Low Jack

Low Jack

What used to be called industrial music by those on the radical fringes of ’80s post-punk is surfacing again in the techno sphere and beyond. French producer Low Jack (aka Philippe Hallais) takes classic industrial aesthetics to the next level, extending the trance experience with raw, sharp and rough sounds. Low Jack has earned a reputation for his uniqueness, keeping one foot in club culture and the other in abstract experimentation. On one side, you’ll find the influence of Bunker Records’ acid-industrial years, sinusoidal blasts by Pan Sonic, Cristian Vogel’s shifted techno, and esoteric grooves by George Issakadis, plus Dancemania records and assorted other ghetto house, East Coast hip-hop, and funk leftovers. On the other, bullet-shaped noise music, ethno-shamanic trance, punk improvisations, post-industrial ambient, drone and power electronics.   This artist is being presented within the framework of SHAPE – a platform for innovative music and audiovisual art from Europe – and is supported by the Creative Europe program of the European Union.
