Celebrating his tenth anniversary as a recording artist, The Hacker unleashes this double disc package featuring a CD compilation recorded live and featuring various well known tracks from his catalogue, plus one unreleased production and three bonus studio tracks. The DVD is crammed with goodies, two hours worth of footage in fact, including a documentary feature in addition to various live documents: there's an entire live set recorded in Grenoble back in 2006, plus extra live footage from 2002 featuring Miss Kittin. The hour-long feature 'X' is particularly interesting, documenting The Hacker's beginnings in Grenoble and charting his career arc with more live footage in addition to interviews with the likes of DJ Hell.
