In 2008, Palms, the cross-continental collaboration project between Berlin’s Nadja Korinth and New York’s Ryan Schaefer, released «Der König» on their first album, «It’s midnight in Honolulu». «Der König» is a weird avantgarde post-pop track full of longing, wistfulness, melancholia, and cryptic German-English vocals. 2016 Menqui stumbled over the track on the Austrian social satire series «Altes Geld». He made a few small, respectful adjustments to «Der König» to make it fit better into his dj set. Bendedikt Frey reduced Nadja Korinth’s vocals to a sirenlike feverish pattern, added some trippy elements and a rumbling 100bpm beat. In the second half, the melancholic fundament turns into a dystopian psychedelic dance track with furious acidlines, yet still holding on to the nostalgia of «Der König». LAFmusik is a new record label connected to South German off-space art gallery «Leerstand als Freiraum» (LAF), which was founded 5 years ago, and since then, has been initiating various projects situated within the fields of art, architecture, and society. Although LAF has been running parties continuosly since it came into existence, the wish to make a record for friends, members, and music-lovers grew. This is its result.
