DOMBRANCE (LIVE IN D&B SOUNDSCAPE)

Hailing from Bordeaux, Bertrand Lacombe is Dombrance, a multi-instrumentalist and live electronic act making serious waves in France and across the globe.

Somewhere at the intersection of Kraftwerk and Daft Punk sits French producer and multi-instrumentalist Dombrance. Dombrance Live is a multimedia performance, with the artist surrounded by synthesizers and pedals—presenting his infectious pounding electronic sounds.

The live concerts are often paired with playful pop-art graphics – a collaboration with illustrator and fellow Frenchman Olivier Laude. His show is highly energetic; Dombrance has the stage presence of a rockstar, armored in his suit, tie, and the signature mustache.

The music draws influence from the Disco of Moroder, the punk of Soulwax, and the energy of Vitalic—all blended together with pulsing repetitive bass and synth lines. It’s pure electronic bliss—a truly ecstatic experience.

He is a greatly respected Live Act, DJ, and producer who has been releasing selective, highly regarded work for almost 20 years, gracing labels like Kitsune, Virgin Records, Yuksek’s Partfine, and now Disc-o-lypso.

Disc-o-lypso first discovered his music after hearing the track ‘Donna’—shared by their friend Freudenthal. After that, they were hooked on this unique style of driving hypnotic Electro-Disco and have worked with him ever since.
