February has been a great month here on solipsistic NATION<\/b>. So far we\u2019ve had Alex Paterson<\/a> on the show with a live set<\/a> from The Orb<\/a>, which was epic!<\/p>\n

Last week<\/a> Kristian Peters came on the show and we played select tracks from his label, Sending Orbs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next week EshOne<\/a> will come on solipsistic NATION<\/b> to talk about San Diego Dubstep<\/a> and play a mix that\u2019s guaranteed to make your sub woofer throb.<\/p>\n

And then we have today\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

Our guest is Ben Lukas Boysen who records and performs under the name Hecq<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to describe Ben\u2019s music?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll you\u2019ll hear for yourself on today\u2019s show. But let me quote HC from his Headphone Commute<\/a> blog. He describes Ben\u2019s music this way:<\/p>\n

\u201cTwisted rhythms swirling around your brain like an inhaled sip of wine and a gulped breath of smoke. Divine soundscapes crawling beneath the barbed wire of the restraining acoustic prison, begging to rather be shot in the back then remain draining their minimalism onto the cold surface of tears and blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ben has put together a mix for us that is equal parts spine tingling and mind blowing and he joins us today from Berlin.<\/p>\n
