Lecomte De Brégeot
For Lecomte de Brégeot, everything started with the raves when he was a teenager in the late 90’s early 00’s. Techno and free parties were a revelation. All the emotions and feelings provided by music and the fervor that he encountered during those big gatherings led him to become a DJ and to host parties. Then he went on to compose his own music with the help of his massive keyboards collection.
In 2015 he performs at the Paris Techno Parade and in 2016 he releases his first EP There was a day followed by two other EP’s Pretty Ashes and Fragment.
His music is a subtle mix of techno, new wave and EBM, that still has a strong human touch to it, thanks to the use of intense and deep vocals and overpowering melodies. His sound aesthetic is reminiscent of the 80’s yet it feels and sounds very modern. The coldness of the electronic beats is blended with nostalgic and melancholic harmonies, giving his music great depths.
Lecomte de Brégeot’s productions are full of warmth and humanity and he also enjoys producing for other artists. He has been collaborating for years with French soul singer Elle Valenci, with whom he obtained his first gold record.
His singular musical identity gives him a special place in the French electronic landscape and allowed him to build an international career. The artist, who reinvents his tracks during live performances, has received standing ovations on tour in Russia in Eastern Europe, as well as in Turkey, South America, Asia and in the USA.
The US audience fell for him thanks to his collaboration with Canadian producer and performer Allie X and Violet Chachki, drag-queen extraordinary, winner of Rupaul’s Drag race in 2015, on the song Mistress Violet. Real hypnotic synth-pop gem, this new track is used on many catwalk shows, including Alexandre Vauthier's for Paris Fashion Week. In 2022 he collaborated once again with Chachki on the official and acclaimed remix of Visage’s iconic Fade to Grey. In 2024 the artist co-composed John and Jonathan, one of the eponymous singles from Allie X's latest album Girl with no face.
Elegant and visual, Lecomte de Brégeot’s music has naturally interested the fashion and luxury world. He has been collaborating with prestigious and international brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Nina Ricci, Giorgio Armani, Nars and Vogue, who all reached out to him for music on their promotional ads. His single Paris 1985 was also chosen to be featured on the Balenciaga video campaign in June 2022 with the supermodel Bella Hadid.He also composes original soundtracks to accompany fashion shows, as was the case during Sao Paulo Fashion Week in 2021 and 2022, and for Roberto Cavalli during Milan Fashion Week in 2023.
The very cinematographic atmosphere of his productions also allowed him to appear on the soundtrack of two very noticed series, in France and abroad: Mytho, an original series of Arte, and the American blockbuster Emily in Paris.
One thing is certain, Lecomte de Brégeot is gradually carving out a stature as one prince of French electro in the world, with new projects to follow...
