ViAAL_rec transmission 2 ViAAL#2 LOKIER – ESCAPE E.P. Release date: 11th August 2014 Next up on ViAAL is a particularly sultry midsummer affair, presenting Lokier, a new and upcoming DJ/Producer straight out of DF Mexico. Attracted to the dark and mysterious side of life, she mixes her dark beats with post punk, technoidien disco vibes. Previously released as Chemistry with La Royale (Disque Discos) collabs with acts such as Zombies in Miami (La Dame Noir) and recently joined the big and talented list of editors for the Parisian label I'm a Cliché "Edit Service". The Escape EP’s left-field undercurrents drift from sloppy heroin disco to sliced techno to European dub-pop. The title track Escape commands you to ‘Keep on running’. It rolls on like a magnetic slow-motion voyage across the wilderness. With detuned synths and raw lo-fi bass, the drop is like a stiletto heel through the heart. To keep things all red, green and white, Lokier’s compatriots Zombies In Miami perform a stuttering rework of Escape with a mesmerizing bass-line and spellbinding sliced vocals. ‘No Friend’ speeds things up a little, syncopated with unexpected percussion and dark vocal breaks. Strange rhythms develop and the overall effect is entrancing and finally, ‘Allergy’ takes us back to a sci-fi 1980s with abnormal analog loops, irregular synths and curious melodies dripping with the distant echoes of Kraut-pop. promos@viaal.com www.viaal.com
