Hecq
Founded by Ben Lukas Boysen in 2005 Hecq Audio became a genre independent studio that finds istelf centered between music and design.
The basic idea and main focus of the studio is to provide high quality and customized music and sound design for nearly all needs!
This philosophy brought forth a lot of great cooperations:
Hecq Audio has been working for and with bands like In Strict Confidence, Snog, Si Begg, Frank Bretschneider as well as clients like MTV, BBC, Amnesty International, North Kingdom, Hybrid Studio, Marvel Comics and Deutsche Bank to name a... read more
Ad Noiseam
Ad Noiseam's purpose is to release interesting music from a variety of genres. Mainly focused on electronic music, the label has released in the past albums and singles from such a variety of styles as clicks'n'cuts, breakcore, drones, IDM, jazz or dubstep. Ad Noiseam is clearly not a niche label.

Sura is the long-awaited release of Hecq's most energized tracks, which he has been performing live in recent times. This multi-talented stakhanovite of audio production turns dubstep into an exhilarating new beast in which the gargantuan basses come armed with sharp metal beats. The result is a record of epic proportions, a redeeming encounter of the dancefloor and pristine audio production.
Ben Lukas Boysen doesn't sleep. Instead he creates tones, dissects waveforms, arranges tracks and remixes beats. A proof of this is the avalanche of tunes, soundtracks, mixes and DJ sets that Hecq has been unleashing upon the world in the recent years. Combining packed concerts, collaborations with other producers and audio-design work, Hecq is a name that has now popped up on many press releases and in many ears.
And yet something was still missing: while the recent Steeltongued double album had taken a step in this direction, there was so far no official record of the material with which Hecq has been sending party-goers into frenzies for the last couple of years. These heavy, syncopated tracks, with their massive sub-basses and infinite drops hadn't made it to the general public. Yet.
Here's what Sura intends to correct. Hecq's long-awaited return to the vinyl format contains two of his most insidious and intoxicating tracks as well as an equally dynamic remix by label mates Matta. Kidnapping dubstep and forcing it to perform an elegant back flip, Hecq takes the best of the genre, cleans it up thoroughly, and repacks it in a fresh, original and particularly up-to date form.
DJs, party goers, and audiophiles rejoice: Hecq will guide you along dark corridors, protect you from monsters and save you from certain doom.
