Jean Koning has remixed the track “Glorious Love” transforming the eerie orchestral drone track into an eerie electronic whine track. But nonetheless extremely danceable.

#JK says, “I listened to that track again after ten years, while in a mild form of quarantine, and started playing with it. Revisiting it over and over. I thought it would be nice, if the song would, I don’t know, perhaps find itself into your isolated silent disco moments. But then I also thought, in order to do so, it must be more danceable than the original version. I guess I simplified it in a way, into waveforms that were being disrupted. The sonic version of the moment we all realized this pandemic was taking on quite serious forms. I was surprised how frightening it became.”

The berlin warehouse mix of GLORIOUS LOVE debuted during Rakuten Fashion Week in Tokyo (March 15 – 20) and its accompanying video premièred April 1 on YouTube.

The phrase "Panem Et Circenses" originates from Rome in "Satire X" of the Roman satirical poet Juvenal (c. CE 100). In context, the Latin panem et circenses (bread and games) identifies the only remaining interest of a Roman populace which no longer cares for its historical birthright of political involvement.

During the Covid-19 lockdown, #JK thought this phrase was useful for the people's short-tempered behavior, and the things they sadly all longed for--apparently entertainment over sitting through the pandemic threat.

The single "Panem Et Circenses" is part of the dystopian album "Poor Jericho"

Returning to–the award-winning, mind you–Asbestos Poisoning.

Set to the heartbeat-drone sound of the bass-guitar, continuing in C. Jamming with the entire orchestra to the story of a man, gently dying of Asbestos Poisoning caused by his job.

This is the story of one person, however a reality of many. 

The man devoted his life to his job, ending up with a severe problem a lot of businesses and factories refused to deal with.

In the Industrial City form of realism, this track was one of many, dealing with the problem of human life vs. economics–a topic which returned to form on many other albums after Industrial City. 

#JK’s initial idea to record the song was with some sort of electrolarynx, however, the record company–fused with IM International–refused to have this idea realised. #JK–as producer, with S.T. Vacirca as engineer–settled for Autotune instead.

The first single from the upcoming album "Faraday Cage"; Set in both rural places (far off the map), and on lonely highways. Sometimes in cheap motels. And most definitely in sweaty weather. During endless Summers in which there’s no escape from the frying, boiling, searing rays of the sun.
“Faraday Cage”–as a metaphorical, narrative album of bluesy, jazzy, and folkish music–takes us to places where there’s a lot of (easy going) sex–whether in real life or in fantasy–Jack Daniel’s, Jim Beam, wine, cigarettes and sometimes a little grass to smoke as well. And–most definitely–a lot of guilt…
