Toxic is Dead is released 19th October via IHEARTCOMIX
The Toxic Avenger, a.k.a. Simon Delacroix, is an electro thrash producer hailing from Paris, France. Taking cues from intelligent hardcore and punk, all the way to 60’s pop, The Toxic Avenger brings us a unique blend of melodic rage and screaming synths that create a sonic epic audiences can lose their minds to.
Released on hip label du-jour IHEARTCOMIX on October 19th, Toxic is Dead will be the first single from the currently untitled full length, continues to propel the ever-growing mystique of the man behind the mask. The Toxic Avenger’s ghostly orchestrations and pulsating rhythms, not to mention his colossal bass lines combine for a dangerous and deadly etherealness that is sure to slay dancefloors around the world straight into the afterlife. Additionally, eccentrics Drop the Lime and heavy hitters South Central provide their talents on remixes that further project the dark evolution of our once Superhero turned sinister.
Toxic has come a long way since 2007’s Superheroes release. Where we last left off, our hero’s shimmering, distortional riffs called for a new generation of dance staples. The colourful and hopeful single became the theme to Toxic’s rise to power, and helped shape the standards to which we have come to know in the electro community.
Previously hailed as one of Rolling Stone’s Artists To Watch, The Toxic Avenger has secured a place as one of the top electro producers, and has provided his signature touch on a number of remixes for artists such as Ladytron, Late of the Pier, Chromeo, and IHC labelmates Heartsrevolution. Additionally, he has performed worldwide with a slew of respectable artists including MSTRKRFT, Late of the Pier, Black Lips, Yelle, The Teenagers, Vitallic, and the infamous Public Enemy.
Toxic is currently on tour worldwide, playing in clubs and at festivals from Paris to Melbourne. Additionally, Scion will be releasing an upcoming sampler that features our new anti-hero’s latest hair-raising club offerings remixed.
