Fantastic Twins, the ongoing project of Julienne Dessagne, is a sonic exploration of dual characters born from one distinct perspective. A producer, songwriter and acclaimed live performer, Dessagne has spent the last decade sculpting a unique world, releasing on influential labels such as Optimo Music, supporting Bicep on tour and earning the stewardship of electronic music icons including the late, great Andrew Weatherall.
Bold and refreshingly original, Fantastic Twins long-anticipated album,‘Two Is Not a Number’ featured prominently in diverse publications including Future Music Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar and Juno Daily. In print, DJ Mag deemed ‘Two Is Not A Number’ as one of their LPs of the year, while Electronic Sound celebrated the recording as “equal parts euphoria, beauty and tragedy... Astonishing and ambitious.”
Her live performances and experimentation have featured in some of the world’s most open-minded dancefloors, including fabric, Opium/Vilnius, Robert Johnson, festivals such as Houghton, Convenanza, Nuits Sonores, 4GB, Kappa Futur, MIRA Digital Arts Festival and the catwalks of Dior, JW Anderson & Acne Studios.
In these diverse environments, Dessagne’s focus on a hybrid approach, incorporating synthesisers, samplers, sequencers and modular effects has cultivated a devoted following. Building a sonic narrative on the fringes of techno, driven by a sense of mystery and character that remains entirely her own, Fantastic Twins live performances launch minds and bodies into space with a story that evolves in each setting, waves of rave tension breaking with blissful release. Here, Dessagne’s own vocals act as an organic anchor amid a truly live set that acts as a continuation of the cultures of Kosmische, pure techno and contemporary psychedelia.
In mixes and radio broadcasts for NTS, CRACK, Dublab, Groove and Rinse, she has traced the wider constellations of her musical world in shimmering transitions.
