"Professional Distortion" is the debut solo single from Miss Kittin's debut solo album I Com. It became her first solo song to chart on the French and UK singles charts. It was later included on her 2005 EP Mixing Me. [2]
Lowri Williams of Gigwise.com said, "Heavily engrossed with unforgettable synthesisers and loops, this track really is electronic music at its best featuring the Queen of the scene." [3] By contrast, Terry Sawyer of PopMatters commented that the song "wastes a beautiful bassline that rides into the speakers like a skipped stone by saddling it with the Ladytron monotone of the lyrics." [4]
Two official music videos were made for "Professional Distortion". The original video featured Miss Kittin singing in a factory while workmen dance to the song. The second video was directed by Sven C. Steinmeyer and shows handwritten lyrics by Miss Kittin flash across the screen. A cartoon guitar player is featured at the beginning of the video.
Miss Kittin performed "Professional Distortion ( Otto von Schirach Remix)" live at the Sónar festival and included it on her album Live at Sónar. [5]
