KOMPROMAT (Rebeka Warrior & Vitalic)

In the organizer's words:

KOMPROMAT(Bandcamp / Instagram)

KOMPROMAT is a collaboration between Vitalic and Rebeka Warrior (Sexy Sushi, Mansfield.TYA).
Their first album Traum und Existenz, released in 2019 on Clivage Music (Vitalic's own label), laid the foundation for a dark, powerful universe. In January 2025, they return with PLДYING / PRДYING on Warriorecords, the label founded by Rebeka Warrior.

The new album deals with themes such as prayer (whether pagan or not), funeral rites, the transition between worlds and the pleasures of the body, dance and ecstasy - a divine invocation through music, as it were.

Genres collide: EBM, cold wave, new wave and radical techno. The duo revels in the blurring of boundaries. While their first album was characterized by German lyrics, their new lyrics are presented in English.

The record also conjures up voices from the band's close environment: those of Vimala Pons and Sonia DeVille sound like echoes from other worlds. The very first track, I LET MYSELF GO BLIND, invites us to let ourselves be carried away with our eyes closed - ready to let go of everything.

I DID NOT FORGET YOU, co-written with Rahim Redcar (formerly Christine and the Queens), is a universal reflection on loss and memory. GOD IS ON MY SIDE, a longer, highly hypnotic track with London-based artist Farah, exudes a form of trance, an invitation to drift into the afterlife.

Some of the tracks on PLДYING / PRДYING are also made purely for the body: LIFT ME UP is an anthem to ultimate pleasure, at once sensual and tailored to the dancefloor, and ONLY IN YOUR ARMS will make you lose control to the sounds of intoxicating arpeggios.

The mix by Stéphane Alf Briat (Air, Flavien Berger, La Femme) adds an organic dimension by fusing lush vocals with synthesized sounds. On the visual side, Théo Mercier and Erwan Fichou, faithful collaborators of the band, have taken inspiration from the film Orphée by Jean Cocteau to create a visual universe imbued with strong symbolism - profound yet minimalist.

Racists, sexists and homophobic/transphobic people have no place here! We reserve the right to refuse entry to people who do not adhere to our minimal consensus. For more information read our awareness policy.

The Rote Sonne is wheelchair accessible via an elevator. If you have any questions, please contact us by email.

KOMPROMAT is the alliance of Vitalic and Rebeka Warrior (Sexy Sushi, Mansfield.TYA).
Their first album Traum und Existenz, released in 2019 on Clivage Music (Vitalic's own label), laid the groundwork for a dark, hard-hitting universe. In January 2025, they return with PLДYING / PRДYING on Warriorecords, the label founded by Rebeka Warrior.

This new record delves into the themes of prayer (be it pagan or not), funeral rites, passages between worlds, as well as the pleasures of the flesh, of dancing and ecstasy - akin to a divine invocation through music.

Genres collide : EBM, Cold Wave, New Wave and radical techno. The duo revels in blurring boundaries. While German lyrics accompanied their first album, their new narratives will be channeled in English.

The record also conjures up voices from the band's close circle: those of Vimala Pons and Sonia DeVille resound like echoes from other worlds. From the very first track, I LET MYSELF GO BLIND, we are urged to let ourselves be swept away, eyes shut, ready to let go of everything.

I DID NOT FORGET YOU, wriden with Rahim Redcar (formerly Christine and the Queens), resonates as a universal take on loss and remembrance. A longer, highly hypnotic track featuring London-based artist Farah, GOD IS ON MY SIDE exudes a form of trance, an invitation to drift towards the beyond.

Some of PLДYING / PRДYING's tracks are also purely made for bodies: LIFT ME UP is a hymn to ultimate pleasure, at once sensual and tailored for the dancefloor, and ONLY IN YOUR ARMS will have you lose control to the sound of intoxicating arpeggios.

The mixing by Stéphane Alf Briat (Air, Flavien Berger, La Femme) lends an organic dimension to the whole, fusing saturated voices with synthetic sonorities. On the visual side, Théo Mercier and Erwan Fichou, faithful collaborators of the band, drew inspiration from the film Orphée by Jean Cocteau to craf a visual universe imbued with strong symbolism - profound yet minimalistic.
