An echoic take on rave and electronica, and a modern shapeshifting of styles that hints at more things to come; Berlin-based composer, producer and sound designer Ben Lukas Boysen reboots his experimental Hecq project with a new five track EP titled ‘Form’ on Mesh.

Exploring the outer realms of leftfield electronica, breaks and techno, Hecq’s previous albums included induction microphone-based recordings (‘Mare Nostrum’), dubstep, and tape loop investigations (‘Avenger, Chansons de geste’), providing many chances to dive into the vast cosmos of modern electronica. Though the first Hecq releases were heavily IDM influenced, it never had a real foundation or style. Ben explains “Hecq has always been a highly flexible project, latching on to whatever it was that interests me at that time. It’s a playground and every album can be a clean slate.”
