Kendal

Kendal—the French producer, DJ and Ritmo Fatale label boss—has mastered the art of synthetic seduction. Known for his productions such as “Come to Me,” “Basorexia,” “Techno Positivo,” and “Set Me Free,” he merges nostalgia with futurism, a magnetic concoction that is completely his own. His DJ sets, where flesh merges with the machine, weave elements of italo-disco, trance and EBM into euphoric moments. Here, the alchemic charm of Kendal is best understood within the transcendent spectacle of his sets, ones that uplift and mesmerize from start to finish. Ritmo Fatale, the five-year strong label, has become one of Europe’s most respected and desired amongst dance devotees. Emphasizing the “no past, no present, no future” motto, the label has given a platform to newcomer artists who share the same vision: to give new life to rousing aspects of 80s and 90s elements. Because of this, Ritmo Fatale has released a slew of dancefloor anthems combined with strong imagery—an aesthetic that is instantly recognizable. Kendal has shown a spotlight on his home-base of Toulouse while simultaneously touring Europe on the regular and expanding internationally to North America and Australia. The dedication of his fanbase in France brings a consistent following all over the country, especially in his stronghold of Paris, where he has sold out the entirety of his events, such as at the prestigious La Machine du Moulin Rouge, Badaboum, Virage and Trabendo clubs.
