Codec & Flexor

Guess what… I love this record!

Codec & Flexor started out with their first common maxi "Crazy Girls" in 2001. They delivered the mega hit "Time has changed" that crossed borders in every respect. They became the avantgarde of electro-pop. Their debut album "Tubed" was produced together with Christian Morgenstern on his label Forte Rec. in 2002. In the following year they were signed by the american label Emperor Norton Rec. and went on a big tour throughout the USA.Since then Sven Zalac and Matthias Freund have played and sung all over the world, have published various remixes and have finally given their creativity lots of space full of old and new pictures for familiar music.Now their second album with the unambiguous title "Killermachine" is going to come out in March 2006 on Kitty-Yo. This title may sound brutal, but it is everything but raw if it comes to the content. It promises what is implied metaphorically by the title: Hits that dance on the thin line between mainstream and club orientated electro-pop without ever loosing their balance. It is by no means offbeat to say that new wave left some traces. This album is not afraid of references to Depeche Mode, Human League or even Gary Numan within the context of todays electronic pop music."Do what you want" climbs out of the depth with an electro-bassline that makes you sweat and develops to the ultimate club hit. It is going to be pre-released in March 2006 with some top-class remixes as the first 12" on the clubable Kitty-Cuts 12"-series. In February "I'll be gone" will be released on the Kitty-Yo Compilation "Cuts & Pieces" and it will certainly get its attention outside of the clubs. The same can be said of the electro-pop number as such "Surface of sorrow". It is dedicated to the late Christian Morgenstern and draws the cold from the sorrow with warm vocals and electro-synthie surfaces and immortalizes his memory.With "Killermachine" Codec & Flexor deliver several songs of the kind that guarantee a live experience that from spring 2006 on will set fire to the clubs and festivals. Electro-pop big style… a tour is going to follow and we are looking forward to what the summer may bring..
