FK Live At Sick And Twisted

Image
At Club Sick And Twisted in London, Alex Boniwell hosted the world's finest in breakcore and associated forms of ... if it needs a name, let's call it "critical electronica"! I had the honor to play a Fragment King live set there in 2005 and the recording is now available on Alex's "Live At Sick And Twisted" bandcamp page. There is also a Hyperdriver set and many more live sets by folks who were kicking loudly at the walls of confinement of contemporary music – both serious and fun – at the time. Plus, coincidentally, this was released on my birthday. Also featured: the original event flyer and a live pic. Enjoy, folks! Fragment King Live at Sick and Twisted 11/3/05 by Fragment King

FRAGMENT KING: RETREAT + REMIXES

RETREAT is here, courtesy of Annihilvs Power Electronix and label mastermind Le Bourreau II who was infinitely patient with me while I was working on these 6 tracks, accompanied by 2 fantastic remixes. I'm really proud of this album, if I can call it that way. Throughout the entire conceptualization, recording and editing process I moved multiple times, left teaching at uni behind and wondered what music or sound I would be capable of turning into a narrative I would be happy with, 7 years after completing the ANGEL POSITION album. It was clear that RETREAT wouldn't be that rabidly aggressive form of FK. Things back then already hinted towards the "imaginary soundtrack" form of FK and that is what happened. I fed Lee with demo versions that evolved over time where Lee always felt potential to be explored that was also in line with what I had in mind. That is synergy. The remixes by Snowbeasts and 2W a.k.a. Thierry Arnal further reinforce this synergy. All that remains
