"Remarkable!" – Steve Barker, The Wire Magazine
"Transformational wizardry… deeply lysergic and consistently inventive." – Brainwashed
"It sounds like listening to a reggae band stationed on the other side of a crowded gymnasium—and through an interdimensional portal. A unique addition to a unique [Sub Rosa] catalog." – Bandcamp Daily
"MT Gemini? You're sitting on an island having a cocktail with a bunch of rastafarians, listening to ska and reggae tunes and doomsday is about to happen" – Shayli Harrison, Mutani

Yannick Franck’s avant-dub project MT Gemini fuses Jamaican genres such as ska, rocksteady and dancehall with unorthodox electroacoustic explorations.
It is not, nor claims to be, a part of Jaimaican music's direct heritage, but rather works with its traces and resonances to fabulate new dreamlike, pataphysical narratives. In this process, obscured aspects re-emerge under completely different angles, altered and reconfigured, opening speculative spaces.
Recently acclaimed at London's legendary Cafe Oto on the occasion of his UK debut, MT Gemini's live AV performances offer a trance inducing blend of raw aural intensity, circonvoluted joy and hacked nostalgia. In the past, MT Gemini has shared the bill with Nik Colk Void, Drew McDowall, Shit and Shine, Ghost Dubs, Croatian Amor and more.
The Wire Magazine named his debut album one of the “10 Records of the Year” in its dub category, while Brainwashed hailed it as “transformational wizardry, a deeply lysergic journey that’s light years from its original form.”
In Summer 2025, Antibody label will release a vinyl edition of his latest EP, Conquering Ruler.
