SYDNEY VALETTE Sydney travels all over his beloved dark wavespectrum, from EBM to ambient, techno to Italo disco, alwaysdriven by an unflinching pop heart (War Child, Mistress OfDesire). Still, on one hand, his approach to production andcomposition is rawer than ever, with a no-nonsense & back tobasics attitude that strikes a fresh update to his art. Then onthe other he experiments with dramatic sceneries (All Paradise,Citadelle), electronic chanson (Adieu), and pockets of intimacy (adusky rendering of Australian dark-folkers Death In Juneʼs FallApart).
