about

When Hecq's debut 'A Dried Youth' was released in 2003, a few enthusiasts paid attention. The young Ben Lukas Boysen, yet totally unknown, used his enormous creativity to implant an aural impression of his personal experiences into an album. Although echoes of other artists' influences seemed to be present, this album showed that Boysen was able to walk his own path which he was able to advance with each follow-up release.

'Horror Vacui' is presented by Hymen Records to celebrate Hecq's ten year anniversary as a recording artist. Nine as-yet-unreleased tracks showcase Boysen's wide creative spectrum between melodic ambience and abstract electronica with a precise usage of multiple beats.

Six exclusive remixes by Dean Rodell (Underhill), Frank Riggio, Roel Funcken (Funckarma), Si Begg, Christoph Berg (Field Rotation), and one by Boysen himself bring the release to a ripping close with processed dubstep in the style of the earlier 'Avenger' album and the orchestral melancholy of 'Night Falls'.
