Perturbator

Perturbator, the pseudonym of Paris-based musician James Kent, is an electronic music artist known for his dark and atmospheric compositions that pay homage to the sounds of the 1980s, blending them with a modern electronic twist. Kent began his musical journey as a guitarist for several black metal bands before fully immersing himself in the world of synthetic soundscapes and adopting his current moniker in 2012. His music is characterized by heavy synthwave with a cyberpunk flair, often incorporating cinematic qualities that invoke dystopian landscapes and cybernetic narratives.

Gaining significant recognition in the synthwave scene, Perturbator's discography includes acclaimed albums such as "Dangerous Days" (2014) and "The Uncanny Valley" (2016), both of which have cemented his status as a pioneer in the genre. His more recent works, including the brooding and evocative "Lustful Sacraments" (2021) and the collaborative project "Final Light" (2022), continue to expand his sonic palette, incorporating industrial, techno, and darkwave elements. Through his continuously evolving musical expression, Kent has attracted a dedicated following among fans of dark electronic music and has contributed to soundtracks for video games and films that seek a retro-futuristic ambiance.
