Editor's review
At its core, South African electronic musician Felix Laband's production is traditionally instrumental, noticeably handled by a perfectionist. The percussion is very delicate and breezy, but takes profound yet simple turns when it feels as though it's being strained through a fine electronic filter.
Biography
The music of South Africa's premier electronic musician, is fluid and deceptively simple, freakish, quirky but user-friendly, funky and day-dreamy. Polyphonic funk like the sound-adventures of Warp?s Boards Of Canada, Autechre or Aphex Twin and measures at the same time the dope downtempo flavour of their label-mates Nightmares On Wax. If one had to categorise the musical style of Felix Laband he would have to create a new genre called "Indietronica". There's a level of professionalism in his work that is breathtaking.
He is a sheep in a wolf's clothing...looking like a tough rock-star makes it really hard to believe that this guy produces music softer as soft can be. He is one of the best Electronic Acts in South Africa today. This piece is gonna take you on a journey from which you never will return. Follow Felix into his brave new world of music...
By the way, Felix is not only a super talented musician, Felix is more a kind of artistic all-rounder. He is a graphic designer, a video artist and a sound designer for movies. He did the covers and the whole artworks for all his records of course also with "Dark Days Exit". Also he produced two really innovative music videos for his last album. Felix is a true artist who is reaching out for more.
