About PHIL FORTIN
"Something danceable but dark". This statement sums up Phil Fortin's artistic objective. Drawing his inspiration from bands from the 1980's such as New Order, The Cure or more contemporary bands such as Chemical Brothers, Phil Fortin offers original music that is both rhythmic and thoughtful. To achieve this, he sometimes recovers the sound of vintage synthesizers from the 80's, adds a hypnotizing bass line, a sustained electronic rhythm and some guitar sounds. The vocal approach remains detached in its execution, it suggests rather than tells. Press quotes: "Dystopian State is pretty edgy actually and it brings elements of coldwave, synth-pop, industrial, and all driven by an old school songwriting and sound vibe. For many, this is a danceable records that’s perfect for a nightclub of the gothic type or a long drive along – THE SOUNDS WONT STOP
