Scratch Massive

About

Scratch Massive, the Parisian electronic duo of Sébastien Chenut and Maylis de Sainsaulieu, has spent over two decades crafting a sound that is as cinematic as it is club-ready. Blurring the lines between darkwave, trip-hop, and synth-pop, their music is a hauntingly beautiful fusion of analog textures, pulsating beats, and ethereal vocals. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Massive Attack, Portishead, and Depeche Mode, Scratch Massive has carved out a niche that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Since their formation in the early 2000s, the duo has steadily built a reputation for their immersive live performances and genre-defying productions. Their breakthrough came with the 2012 album *Nuit de Rêve*, a critically acclaimed masterpiece that solidified their place in the French electronic scene. Over the years, they’ve collaborated with icons like Charlotte Gainsbourg and Etienne Daho, further cementing their status as innovators. Scratch Massive’s cultural impact lies in their ability to evoke emotion through sound, creating soundscapes that feel deeply personal yet universally resonant. Their recent work continues to push boundaries, with 2023’s *Echoes of the Night* exploring themes of memory and transformation. As they remain at the forefront of electronic music, Scratch Massive proves that their artistry is as timeless as it is transformative.
