within lok recordings’ sixth release, we introduce lokin to you. we’re coming up with something to break boundaries and strengthen the spirit of artistic freedom. -the fall- by the belgian-born berlin-based singer, songwriter and producer cook strummer - aka maxime donnet - is an evocative ode to lost love and forgotten spirituality. channeling the post-punk synth sound of his home country’s cold wave movement of the late 70s and early 80s, donnet has absorbed the sounds of his adopted home in germany, taking that all-pervasive electronic music that is all around him and morphing it into something new. the result is -the fall-. recorded in a cell located in the basement of an old stasi prison (studio k61 in berlin), it’s an album with one eye on the dancefloor, but one that works just as well when the party is over. it’s an album that blends the organic with the synthetic, mixing guitars and synths with post-dubstep flourishes and drum machines. it’s an album about something. the name of the album has been chosen in reference to first single fallen, the idea of falling in life and waking up again. it’s also about the fact that it’s not the fall that kills you. a fall can be graceful. a fall can improve a life perspective and create new paths. it can and does make you strong. the main metaphor in there is one of reincarnation. indeed, it’s the story of a soul negotiating with god to not reincarnate on earth again, but being forced to do it anyways. experience something different!

nice price deal !!! behold ear goodies from fjordfunk, with his hi quality sonic fishing fleet. the sounds of epic coldwater trawling can now be yours in the safety and comfort of your own adobe. the scampi disco scamp takes dancefloor analog melodic waves from the seas and oceans of tranquility, and then weaves the cosmogony of new record label, luna flicks, deftly and with the skill of loki himself into strangely solid beat nets to catch unwary listeners by the feet. with this, the first lunar orbit, we hear ovid 8 metamorphose into a post 9/11 poissonier. good lord, st. francis himself couldnt get the mackerel dancing so well (despite their lack of jiving feet)! an anthem for the pre apocalyse generation, spinning a woven path to dancefloor bliss and enlightenment. this is fjordfunk: hear him roar.

woken from his infinite cryosleep sentence, conforce operative boris bunnik is sent out to investigate an autopoietic conspiracy virus in the depths of the possibility matrix. self-replication is versalife s trust debut and the third entry in the label s covert systems series, following up on recent releases by lok44 and alex cortex.
