Martin Dupont (FR)
Formed in the early 80's, Martin Dupont became one of the hidden gems of the French coldwave underground, blending icy electronics, post-punk tension and melancholic beauty. Though active for only a few years, albums such as Just Because, Sleep Is A Luxury and Hot Paradox gained cult status. After disbanding in 1987, the cult act remained dormant for decades before returning to the stage amid renewed international acclaim, fueled by New York label Minimal Wave and a growing new audience. Now back with new releases, a celebrated KEXP session and New Paradox -a tribute compilation featuring reinterpretations by acts including Drab Majesty and Xeno & Oaklander- this cult icon of France’s ’80s new wave scene, finally arrives at Grauzone 2027.
