Biography

French Electronic producer James Kent, aka PERTURBATOR, provides deep, powerful and unique synth-inspired music, bringing the 80s into a dystopian chaotic future. Always pushing his music to “avant-garde » uncharted territories since 2011, PERTURBATOR also pushed boundaries away on stage with incredible performances all around the world. In 4 years, PERTURBATOR went from small clubs to the biggest festivals (Hellfest, Download, Psycho Las Vegas, Graspop, etc..), ending playing this last summer in front of 500 000 people at Polandrock Festival. After some works for Cult Of Luna, and HEALTH, or lately for the pope of electronic music, Jean-Michel Jarre, James Kent will curate the next Roadburn Festival and perform a commissioned piece with Johannes Persson (Cult Of Luna). If 2019 has been marked by tours across Europe, North America and Australia, 2020 has been dedicated to the writing of his highly expected new album, which will be out in 2021 and will be followed by a new tour and new live show.
