The legend says he's half human, half synthesizer.. Perturbator pumps with the sound of rain-slick cyberpunk streets and omniscient neon lights. The reigning king of retrofuturism produces music that channels trans-human anarchy and William Gibson's comical failure to anticipate the mobile phone in Neuromancer. Perturbator has released a series of groundbreaking EP's and full lengths since 2012 that have not only shaped the nascent Synthwave genre but helped draw in unlikely fans.
