London/Edinburgh(Berlin) based Sequel’s latest EP Reykjavik incorporates stunning congregation of post-industrial synth sound loops with a wicked beat ranging between techno and dance pop. Amongst the various tosses and turns there are delightful interludes of psychedelic elements which take this already awesome production several notches above most other stuff in the electronic music genre. The EP, which must definitely find a place in most great playlists, is out on iTunes and here are a few sample sounds to envelope you with Sequel’s world of electronic darkness:
Sequel: Reykjavik EP
Published by Karan Khurana
Karan Khurana Karan Khurana ( Born in 1982, Mumbai, India) makes photos and mixed media artworks. By using popular themes such as pointlessness, old monuments and nightlife, Khurana creates intense personal moments by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles. His photos don’t reference recognisable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. By applying abstraction, he touches various overlapping themes and strategies. Several reoccurring subject matter can be recognised, such as the relation with popular culture and media, working with repetition, provocation and the investigation of the process of expectations. His works are saturated with obviousness, mental inertia, clichés and bad jokes. They question the coerciveness that is derived from the more profound meaning and the superficial aesthetic appearance of an image. By parodying mass media by exaggerating certain formal aspects inherent to our contemporary society, he makes works that can be seen as self-portraits. Sometimes they appear idiosyncratic and quirky, at other times, they seem typical by-products of consumer-oriented superabundance and marketing. His works often refer to pop and mass culture. Using written and drawn symbols, a world where light-heartedness rules and where rules are undermined is created. Karan Khurana currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany!
