Lee Van Dowski: The very name exudes style and intrigue—a country lord, perhaps, who at night throws open the manor gates to host all-night bacchanals legendary for their wine and song.

And though the French-born, Geneva-based artist may not have a manor to his name, the rest isn't far off the mark. Born Renaud Lewandowski, Lee has earned a reputation as a kind of dark prince of uplifting electronic music—a trickster who spreads his mischief via long, undulating DJ sets and bewilderingly funky releases. And he's done this in a remarkably short span of time. In 2004, he and Philippe Quenum released the well-received "Extension"/"Oregon" single for Luciano's Cadenza label; since then Lee has gone on to unleash a deluge of material on labels like Mental Groove, Bpitch Control, Dumb Unit, Einmaleins, Memo, Plak, Defrag Sound Processing, Mobilee, Leena, Wagon Repair, Soma (where Lee and Quenum also released their collaborative album, As Told On The Eve Of…) and still more. He's a regular fixture at some of the world's most celebrated nightclubs— Panorama Bar, Weetamix, Goa, Rex Club, D edge, The Arches etc…and even more celebrated afters. And as the director of two labels—Num, alongside Quenum, and 60Sec, with Agnès—he's released dozens of records from the likes of Butane, Mike Shannon, Alex Attias, Exercise one, Pan Pot, Dario Zenker and many more.

But while it's been a comparatively rapid ascent, Lee's roots go deep. His musical prehistory may be similar to many of his generation: raised on rock and hip-hop, complete with the obligatory attempt to learn to play guitar followed by short-lived bands with schoolmates. But Lee was the beneficiary of his stepfather's eclectic musical tastes, which spanned classical, jazz, funk, rock and even musique concrete and academic electronic music. "I was fascinated by the metallic sleeves and their geometrical designs," he remembers, suggesting a possible source for the shimmering timbres and clever vectors of his own music.

The pieces first fell together in 1993, when a friend invited Lee to attend a rave in southern France, near where he lived. "That was the shock of my life," says Lee, echoing a sentiment that will be familiar to many. "That was what I was looking for, without really knowing it—thousands of people dancing and sweating in the open air. An amazing soundsystem. And this never-ending kick that drives you to madness… Since that day, I've devoted my life entirely to being a part of this."

Lee got involved with the infamous Dragon Bal raves, where Miss Kittin got her start; he worked mundane jobs, saved money, bought decks and a mixer and taught himself to spin. He came to production the same way, beginning with an MPC2000, but translating the sounds in his head into its fat, blocky pads wasn't as easy as it seemed. His ambitions took Lee to Geneva, where he earned a degree in music engineering, but it may have been his next job, working in a Lausanne music shop, that really signaled his entry into the world of electronic music. "Even if the boss was a crazy guy, the shop was like a goldmine, full of gear and old analog synths, drum machines, all the recording and mixing tools you could dream of," he recalls with awe. He took advantage of his employee discount to build out his studio, and just as importantly, the shop served as a focal point for all the area's musicians. It was here that Lee would meet both Quenum and Luciano—and from there, as they say, the rest is history…

There's no single description for Lee's productions, which have proved unusually malleable in his half-decade of releases; an early interest in the skittish rhythms of labels like Warp and Skam remains evident, but reformatted for the supple grooves of deep house and classic minimal techno. His time in the Lausanne music shop clearly served him well; Lee's tracks immediately stand out for their fine sense of detail, an almost intangible shimmer. Utilizing samples, drum machines and all manner of synthesizer, Lee's music remains open to every possibility. "It's an empirical process," he says of his method. "Each sound or loop brings me to the next one, and so on, until the moment that I feel I have all the elements I need to finish the track. Of course, there are always surprises and accidents—that's what makes the magic in writing music."

Lee's DJ sets are similarly spirited. "Technically, I like to surprise myself," he says. "I like to do a long, smooth mix, and then a radical one… It's important for me to try telling a story, so of course your technique is another way of doing that, along with the music itself. With time and with age, maybe, the tempo really decreased—I think I play a bit deeper now than five or six years ago. But I still love a good, bouncy track if it's not too aggressive, and if the energy serves the groove instead of breaking it." Slowing down also means stretching out. "I like to play long sets," he continues, "when you don't have to rush, and you can really forget yourself and build something different."

2009 finds Lee stretching out as never before. The year began with his Free For All Crash Endeavors, released on his and Quenum's Num label, and The Variable Man (Leena), with one track featuring Lee's longtime colleague Agnes; Lee also collaborated with Anja Schneider for Mobilee's 50th release, "Deseo"/"La Roulette." Further releases are out now, or due soon, on Saf Series, Material Series and Curle Recordings. But the year's biggest development may be Lee's return to Cadenza, the label that helped launch his career five years ago. In May, Lee will appear alongside Luciano, Glimpse and Guy Gerber on a split EP; he also joins Cadenza Booking, joining a family-style roster that includes Luciano, Thomas Melchior, Petre Inspirescu, Rhadoo, Mirko Loko and many more of electronic dance music's most innovative players. Count Lee has returned to his Swiss manor, the gates are wide open, and the beat is beckoning.

Eigentlich war Kork schon immer ein Musiker. 
Im zarten Alter von 8 hielt er zum ersten Mal eine Violine in der Hand. 
Dieses wunderschöne Instrument sollte für 10 Jahre sein ständiger Begleiter sein. Unermüdlich wurden die Seiten gestrichen bis aus dem Katzengejaul ein ertragbarer Ton und später ein dem Ohr umschmeichelnder Ton erzeugt werden konnte.

Im Jugendlichen Alter kam dann die zweite große Liebe, die elektronische Tanzmusik dazu. Seine ersten Erfahrungen als DJ auf Geburtstagen fesselten ihn. Die Möglichkeit ein entscheidender Teil einer Party zu sein und die Stimmung von Menschen wandeln zu können ohne mit ihnen über Worte zu kommunizieren waren berauschend. Der Entschluss war gefasst, diese Leidenschaft würde die jugendliche Orientierungsphase überdauern und ein fester Bestandteil des „Ichs“ werden.

Nachdem er zunächst Progressive House gespielt hat, ließ er sich durch Konzertbesuche bei Fritz und Paul Kalkbrenner, Jan Blomqvist oder Boss Axis zum Deep House hinreißen. Jetzt wurde es Zeit dem Ganzen auch einen ordentlichen Namen zu geben und „Kork“ wurde ins Leben gerufen.
Es dauerte nicht lange, da wurde die elektronische Welt auch schon das erste Mal aufmerksam auf Kork. 
Mit seiner Premierenshow bei Soundwaveradio FM / London hat er direkt den bisherigen Zuhörerrekord des Senders überboten und 16000 Ohren erreicht. Seine Show „Travelling Abroad“ gehört mittlerweile zum festen Bestandteil des Senders.

Während seiner Show die zeitweise in über 50 Länder gleichzeitig gehört wird, wird auch musikalisch nicht auf Grenzen geachtet. 
Von Deep House über tech house bis hin zum harten Techno wird alles gespielt was frisch ist und vorantreibt. Natürlich schimmert auch immer wieder seine musikalische Anfangszeit mit dem geliebten Streichinstrument durch und verspielte melodische Einlagen finden ihren Platz in den harmonischen Sets.

2016 hat er den nächsten Schritt gewagt und ist dem jungen DJ- und Künstlerkollektiv „Deep Stories“ beigetreten, um seinen eigenen Weg nicht auf ausgetretenen Wegen gehen zu müssen. 
Man darf gespannt sein, was noch alles Geschehen wird.
