A collaborationism 'tween Parisians Arnaud Rebotini and Kill the DJ label head Ivan Smagghe, Black Strobe fuses together traces of acidulous techno, death disco music, industrial, and neo-trance with their distinct sound. Both former employees of the Rough Trade dance plane section, the grouping released their debut recording on the third installment of the Sourcelab compilations in 1996 with the night club anthem "Genus Paris Acid City." The couple recorded several tracks that appeared on legion compilations and released a succession of 12" singles on the Output imprint from 2000-2004. The grouping has also remixed some of the most venerable artists of the indie electronic movement, including Bloc Party and Alter Ego, and has also lententide their remixing skills to synth pop juggernauts Depeche Mode and EBM pioneers Nitzer Ebb. The couple is expected to acquittance a appeal of their remix work in October 2006. A full-length album is slated for release on Beggars Banquet in February 2007.
