Potochkine

Potochkine, a dynamic French electro-duo, is quickly becoming a name of note within the world of electronic music for their dramatic and theatrical approach to soundscapes and performance. Composed of the couple Polly and Philippe, Potochkine presents a blend of dark, pulsating beats with an enthralling mix of enigmatic French lyrics, throbbing rhythms, and a penchant for the performative element in their music that echoes the mood and energy of mythic tales and pagan rituals. Since their eponymous release "Potochkine" which laid the foundations of their distinctive style, they have continued to transfix audiences with records like "Sortilèges" and dance floor ready tracks like "Possédée" and "Pogo."

Their sounds, often a dialogue between electronic body music (EBM), techno, and elements of synthpop, explore a range of emotions and themes from the mystical to the carnal. Intriguingly, Potochkine's flair for storytelling is not just confined to music; they've also delved into score-making, evident from the haunting "Mythes (B.O Les Bacchantes - Narcisse - Salopards)," which further showcases the breadth of their artistry. With remixes such as "Like A Drum (Potochkine Remix)" and "Métamorphoses (Potochkine Remix)," the duo has also proven their aptitude for reimagining other artists' work through their own darkly tinted lens, thus solidifying their position as an emergent force to be reckoned with in the contemporary music scene.
