I Hate Models

4 upcoming festivals ↓

French producer pairing brutal industrial techno with unexpectedly romantic melodies — heartbreak at 150 BPM, warehouse catharsis with an unexpectedly soft center.

I Hate Models is a French producer and DJ who came to prominence in the second half of the 2010s through releases on the Paris label Arts, and later through his own imprint. His records combine the speed and distortion of industrial and hard techno with melodic, trance- and new beat-influenced elements, a pairing that helped define the harder, faster European club sound of that period.

He has kept a relatively low personal profile, letting the music and the sleeve art carry the identity. Sets tend to run long, loud and at high tempo, moving between rave stabs, breakbeat and pounding kick patterns.
