Zombie Zombie

Zombie Zombie is a French duo consisting of Etienne Jaumet and Cosmic Neman, formed in 2006. Their sound identity is defined by a rigorous adherence to analog synthesis and live acoustic drumming, bridging the gap between the German Krautrock tradition (Can, Neu!)

and the synthesizer-driven horror scores of the late 1970s. Jaumet, a master of vintage gear, utilizes modular synths and the Theremin to create eerie, drifting melodies, while Neman provides the propulsive, steady rhythms that define the motorik style. Their career is marked by a fascination with reinterpretation, notably covering the works of John Carpenter and Sun Ra, which solidified their reputation as curators of a specific retro-futurist aesthetic. Critically, they are lauded for their ability to maintain a 'live' feel in electronic music, eschewing laptop-based production for tactile, hardware-driven performances. They occupy a unique space in the French electronic scene, leaning away from 'French Touch' house and toward a darker, more experimental lineage of psychedelic and cosmic music.
