Combined sensitivity and power is the detail that distinguishes what is only beautiful from what is really sublime in artistic creation. Laercio Schwantes aka L_cio, as an instrumentalist and sweet flute player, managed to arrive at this synthesis in an exceptional way, being one of the most fascinating exponents of Brazil. Singular as a complete author, composing and producing all his musical journeys.
Journeys that go through the instigating contrast of its rhythmic-melodic complexity with the simplicity of its being. It is celebrated by the most demanding listeners and adored by the most fervent dancefloors, being simple to understand how it stands out in festivals like Dekmantel (São Paulo), DGTL (São Paulo), Mysteryland (Chile), Les Escales (France), two editions of Time Warp Brasil and two editions of Rock in Rio, besides appearing consistently in the booths of German institutions such as Salon Zu Wilden Renate, Robert Johnson and also animating global audiences in their three appearances in the Boiler Room Brasil. We present your Live in Beijing and Shanghai in China.
The charms of his music drove him to different places and took him across Europe, reaching countries like France, Malta, Lithuania and the catalog of labels like DOC, Soul Clap, Live At Robert Johnson, Perlon, Exploited, Steyoyoke, Get Physical , Archipel (Canada) and Mamba Negra Records (Mambarec) as well as helped him to profoundly transform the independent scene that nurtured him and explore the city that created him.
He had the privilege of being the only artist to make a remix authorized by Chico Buarque, an icon of Brazilian popular music. The work: “Construction 1971”. In 2018, he released his
1st album on D.O.C Records, entitled “Poema”, considered one of the albums of the year by Bravo magazine.
In his native São Paulo, L_cio is the centerpiece of the local scene, a well-known supporter of street culture, resident of innovative urban organizations such as Carlos Capslock, promoter of equality and universal access to culture. He is also the creator and curator of Akt (Party focused on Live Acts). Together with Tessuto he is the owner of the MEMNTGN records distributed by Kompakt. Tireless not only in a fruitful musical activity, but in the dissemination and promotion of the best values that it contains.
During this journey, he established partnerships (collaborations and remixes) with producers such as Patrice Baumel, Portable, Francesco Tristano, Nicola Cruz, Joyce Muniz, Blancah, Wehbba. In addition to the Techno circuit, L_cio also produced, remixed and collaborated with artists such as Lia Paris, Pablo Vittar, Filipe Massumi and André Nardi and was a member and founder of Teto Preto band.
And it is for such factors, among many others, that it is impossible not to be enchanted when we follow a career as solidly promising as his, in which artistic evolution and development are so closely intertwined. Or better yet, be part of it.

Kevin aka Phaxe has gone from a no-name to an international player of the Progressive Trance elite within no time. Dropping his artist name Phaxe in 2007 provokes few, if any, reactions. Only 4 years later he has become a synonym for upper-league party music. Highly acclaimed live sets all around the world, applauded releases, and remixes for some of the scene’s biggest names tell an impressing success story. A story that makes the man from Copenhagen repeatedly being described as a “Progressive Prodigy”.

Looking back, the evolution of Phaxe`s sound is the history of a perfect storm brewing. It starts with excessive party weekends in the late 90s, awakening his interest in electronic music production. First creative steps are taken in front of a Nintendo gaming console. Eventually this new passion leads to a professional audio engineer training in 2006. These 3 stages of Phaxe’s career are still very noticeable today: His music is to-the-floor, playful, and high-quality in terms of sound.

This irresistible mixture is first to be heard in 2007 when a Phaxe track is released on IONO Music. One year later things take off: The title “Swing King” gains euphoric feedback from both party freaks and DJs worldwide. Within no time Phaxe is producing together with artists like Audiomatic, Morten Granau, Vice, Zyce, Flegma and many others. Great compliments are given to him when the still young producer is asked to remix some of his early Progressive Trance idols like Haldolium, Atmos and Symphonix. His long awaited debut album is signed on the prestigious label Iboga.

In addition to his solo activities, Phaxe keeps up a creative dialogue with some other producers - resulting in a great variety of sound and styles. Together with Morten Granau he is known as High & Mighty, delivering deep Progressive House. The name Sinister Silence stands for a mutual project with Dan Hessner and uplifting Progressive Trance. Last but not least there is O.T.B., a collaboration with Martin Daltoft of Vice.

Despite his impressive success story Phaxe always keeps a humorous and friendly attitude which is very noticeable when seeing him on stage. In this very situation his unbroken passion for Progressive Trance rubs off on the audience through vibrant sound waves.

Discovery does not consist in seeking new landscapes or sounds, but in having new eyes (and ears).
That’s what I call VOYAGE.

Keinemusik is a network with the label as the pulse pumping centre. Driven particularly by the spirit that moves the collective behind the imprint. The spirit to find your own agenda and let nobody get in the way. The spirit of refining House and Techno off the beaten path. Be it within their own tracks, within productions of other sorts or DJ-sets. The spirit of recall value within record- and flyer-artworks and everything intermediate in word and image surrounding releases and parties. And the spirit of diversification – Rampa’s effect-gadget-venture TEILE being one example. Keinemusik’s own booking department ‘Worldwide Dancing Club’, established in 2018, being another.

Keinemusik has been around since 2009. It has been naming an existing friendship and linked interests of the four members – &ME, Adam Port, Rampa and Reznik. A more or less constant count of five releases per year have been released ever since, solely laid down by members of the crew. And a considerable count of label-parties went down, not only in Berlin, but around all international focal points for electronic music. And surely, there’s plenty more where those came from. So see you soon in a record store or on a dancefloor in your area!
