  • Sven Laux readies Homesickness or Nostalgia image
  • Sven Laux will release his first album, Homesickness or Nostalgia, later this month. Laux is a Berlin-based artist whose music straddles the line between experimental and DJ friendly. His approach is often avant-garde, with a focus on sound design and glitchy sampling, but his records typically have a 4/4 pulse and a generally upbeat mood. He's stayed very busy since his 2006 debut, with nearly 20 singles and EPs in the meantime, many on obscure net labels. Aside from the DJ mixes he's put out in the past two years, Homesickness or Nostalgia will be his first full-length. It will see release through Microcosm Music, an online label run by New York based artist Ezekiel Honig. Tracklist 01. Old Time Radio 02. Jebediah's Liquor Store 03.
