I Hate Models - DJ, Producer, and owner of the Label Disco Inferno In a scene choked by formulae, we need voices that cut through the noise to present something unapologetically true and devoutly non-conformist. In his singular path as an artist, I Hate Models swerves standardized structures and instead focuses on emotional response. The energy of club music serves as a vessel for his own feelings and a tool to manipulate others with. The spectrum of moods expressed – in his productions, DJ sets and on his label Disco Inferno – veers from nostalgia and passion to loneliness, melancholia and brutality. On his journey thus far, IHM has released music on labels ranging from Arts to Perc Trax, who carried his 2019 album L’Âge Des Métamorphoses. He’s also remixed artists such as Depeche Mode, while his monster edit of the track 'Toro' has taken the world by storm. It's a fitting clarion call for the relentless rush of monolithic gigs he undertakes. He headlining monumental global festivals such as Ultra and EDC as a top-billing emblem for the bleeding edge of hard dance and its legions of worldwide devotees. Unafraid of reinventing himself, he'll lean into stylistic shifts like the boldly emotive Forever Melancholia EP and make them a natural part of his artistic arc. That the further adventures of I Hate Models feel entirely open-ended is completely by design – generic constriction is the enemy of genuine catharsis.
