about

When Ben Lukas Boysen's debut 'A Dried Youth' was released in 2003, a few enthusiasts paid attention. The young artist, yet totally unknown, used his enormous creativity to implant an aural impression of his personal experiences onto a cd. Although echoes of other artists' influences seemed to be present, this album showed that Boysen was able to walk his own path.

Hymen Records signed Hecq in 2004, and 'Scatterheart' was the first result - an outstanding album to which both reviewers and listeners had cheerful reactions. In the meantime, Boysen worked as a remixer for Snog, end, L'ombre, architect and many more.

Hecq's third release, 'Bad Karma', is a masterpiece of electronica which stands for itself. The melodic lines of the first two releases which were reminiscent of artists like Beefcake and Lusine are now mostly replaced by changing rhythmic textures, clicks and surprising sound manipulations. The precise filter effects on the acoustic percussion samples of "Scumdrum" are a good example of Hecq's production skills. One could draw a comparison to Uwe Schmidt's earlier works as Lassigue Bendthaus and Atom Heart.

As an addendum, L'ombre and the architect used Hecq's sonic ideas to create tracks that should not just be seen as remixes. These collaborations are the perfect completion of this marvellous album.
