Brief Experience :
The Hacker is today considered as being one of the best French representatives of a pure and limpid Techno. Michel Amato begins at 17, in a Electro/Indus band influenced by Cabaret Voltaire, DAF... In Grenoble ( Michel's birth town) in 1992, the Electronic scene begins to grow and some precursory people show their interests for this new music called 'Techno'. These people are Miss Kittin, Kiko, Olivier Raymond from Oxia, Phunky Data... Michel decides to follow the Hardcore wave, close to his first influences and creates XMF with Benoit Bollini (later called 'the money Penny Project') in 1993. XMF is today known as a reference in the French Hardcore scene. The Hacker recognizes the importance of XMF to him and explains that, though abandoned, this hard period has been a step with consequences on his actual music.
