About Potochkine
Potochkine is a French dark electronic duo formed in Paris in 2016, composed of vocalist Pauline Alcaïdé and producer Hugo Sempé. The pair built their sound around French-language vocals, electronic rhythms and a production approach drawing on EBM, electro and elements of darkwave and coldwave.
The duo’s debut was the EP “Libérez votre imagination” (2016), which introduced their combination of dark electronics and theatrical staging. They followed with the self-titled album “Potochkine” (2018) and “Mythes” (2019), before releasing “Sortilèges” in 2021 on young & cold – their first release for the German label. A remix companion, “Sortilèges dans le club,” also appeared in 2021. The single “Endorphines” was released in 2024 ahead of “Sang d’Encre.”
“Sang d’Encre” was released in autumn 2025 on young & cold as Potochkine’s fourth studio album and their second record for the label. The second vinyl pressing, on grey splatters vinyl, is available now through the young & cold webshop and its distribution network via Audioglobe.
