Candie Hank (the mischievous alter ego of Patric Catani) has been messing up the musical landscape from Tokyo to Sao Paolo for some time now. Born in a Fun Park close to the Belgium Border and spending his youth among the Bayer Chemical Factories he had to learn about synthesizers very early in his youth to illustrate the palm reading sessions of his mother with dark soundtracks and scapes. Suspension – a burned stigma in the Candie Hank brain – the Enigma of conscious dead end roads jammed with junk and coarse gravel of the future. Salon music for Vampires a happy jellyfish tango of Laura Palmer´s secret step brother. A cinematic, confronting journey through the eras of forgotten futurist lounge and Beat – He´s using the symbols of our darwinist pop society and the typical male stereotype character role model to appreciatively take it apart and dismantle the dictated, risk free attitude of the “New APP Order”. Hanks anarchistic approach taking and modifying statements in a plunderphonic way but giving it the spice and soul of Moog synths, 8Bit Roughness and the surreal twist of a Daniil Charms worshipping sample eating Bassmonster. Of course always in honour of Morricone, Rock Hunter, Hazil Adkins and the Euromasters.
