Ascendant Vierge

Ascendant Vierge is a Franco-Belgian duo made up of singer-performer Mathilde Fernandez and Parisian techno DJ Paul Seul. Paul Seul, whose real name is Paul Orzoni, founded the Casual Gabberz collective and label, a label dedicated to "gabber", an electronic music subgenre of hardcore techno. Mathilde Fernandez, a fan of the label and particularly of Paul Seul, asked the latter to remix her track " Oubliette", which appeared on the latter's hypersition EP (2019). The collaboration leads the two musicians to form Ascendant Vierge, a name that comes from their astrological signs, but which they appreciate for its mystical side. The explosive encounter oscillates between hardcore techno and Mathilde Fernandez's baroque vocals. Their first single, "Faire et refaire" (2020), found its audience thanks to its video, released in the middle of a confinement. The cyberpunk world of the clip for "Influenceur" , released the same year, amassed over a million views. Their first EP, Vierge (2020), was very well received by the critics, and was followed by a successful tour that took them to a number of festivals, including We Love Green, Les Eurockéennes and Les Nuits Sonores.
