French producer and DJ Joachim Pastor has returned with “L’Ombre de Moi-Même,” a new single released through PACT. The track follows his recent solo releases “Living Later” and “Perseverance,” as well as PACT collaborations “The Edge” and “Unify,” with Delacroix and Teho.
Opening with French vocals and warm, emotional chords, “L’Ombre de Moi-Même” gradually builds around progressive melodies and a drum-machine-driven rhythm. Filtering elements lead into a restrained drop, carried by a soft kick drum and bright, high-frequency details. A cinematic piano enters during the breakdown, adding another layer of emotion before the second drop raises the central melody by an octave, bringing greater intensity and a euphoric lift to the track.

Pastor’s latest release follows a career that has moved between melodic electronic music, soundtrack composition, and collaborative projects. He signed with Armada Music in 2020 and released his debut album, Greater Message, blending electronic production with pop influences and prominent vocal features. In 2025, he unveiled Phantomgrid, his second album, exploring the relationship between human creativity and artificial intelligence through an experimental digital concept. A documentary followed, offering a closer look at the project and Pastor’s interests beyond music, including engineering and aviation.
That same year, Pastor joined forces with Joris Delacroix and Teho to launch PACT, a collaborative project built around a live concept in which the audience becomes the group’s fourth member. The trio has since appeared at festivals including Touquet Music Beach and Madame Loyal, as well as Théâtre de la Mer, before playing a sold-out show at Paris venue T7 in early 2026.
PACT is scheduled to perform at Paloma in Nîmes, France, this Saturday. Pastor will also appear alongside NTO at D! Club in Lausanne on Nov. 20 for the SPACE ODYSSEY event.
