Miss Kittin (born Caroline Hervé, 1973 in Grenoble, France) is an electronica DJ, vocalist, and songwriter.
At age 22 she began DJing, spinning records in France, Moscow and Chicago with Mike Dearborn. Soon after she met DJ Hell in Marseille who wanted her to record for his International DJ Gigolo label. She presented him with the EP Champagne that she recorded with The Hacker. Miss Kittin and the Hacker released First Album in 2001. Several tracks, such as “1982” and “Frank Sinatra”, became anthems of the electroclash scene.
Enter the Batbox. Batbox is Miss Kittin’s second solo album. Opening with all guns blazing. Miss Kittin warned she’d show her dark and more sadistic half. An also perfect counter balance to her 2004 release I Com.
So impressed with how variegated her beats have become, without becoming an elaborate over production. Hooks galore, Miss Kittin lays down her vocals in her classic monotone fashion. Pollution of the Mind is short, heavy, and relentlessly Miss Kittin at her best. Batbox has laid down a sinister genius that comes out of the box ready to be ripped, cut, flipped, and mixed.
