Description
Limited edition double coloured, HQ audio tapes. Includes a handwritten note by Karen Lust aka Karsten Pflum. Limited to 150 copies. Check!Behind the Karen Lust moniker we find Karsten Pflum, a Danish bedroom producer, who has been active on the European electronic music scene for over a decade.
Karen shows the feminine side of Karsten: the tracks on Vigilax are produced in drag, most frequently knee-length dressses with dropped waist - typical of the 1920's fashion.
Also the cover art was made in this demeanor: Karen used all the audio cassettes as a canvas for her painting. Each cassette contains traces of that paint.
The limited edition cassettes come with 3 digital bonus tracks incl. remixes from Rolando Simmons and WHRK.
The Rephlex sound echoes over Vigilax as an archaic archetype. The record reflects a producer having fun in the studio, making simple songs, rather than working with a sophisticated set of rules of ideas. This freedom lead to the composition of these 9 tracks.
