I Hate Models is a techno producer from France. He appears in late 2016 with the Warehouse Memories EP on ARTS, and builds a catalogue across several labels, including ARTS, Voitax, T/W/B, Pls.uk and Disco Inferno.

Style

His work moves across techno, rave music, industrial sounds and EBM-influenced production, and he does not confine himself to one fixed genre. His tracks and DJ sets are described as varied and eclectic, with a recognisable balance of emotional synthesiser parts and colder textures. The mood of the music centres on melancholia and strong emotion, often framed as a contrast between love and hate, and between darkness and light.

Releases and approach

Rather than working within a narrow sound, he explores different areas of electronic music and applies that range both in production and in DJ performance. The result is a style associated with intense atmosphere and sharply contrasted sonic elements.
