   About lokai
Lokai is a duo by Florian Kmet - also active as a solo performer (KMET) and with the Trio Exklusiv - and Stefan Németh, who spent a good part of his life in the music world with the band radian or music for films.
We are located in Vienna. We live here. We work here. Love, children, etc. And we also released the first album "7 million" on the Austrian label Mosz. Oh yes, both of us are born in 1973...in case this is of some importance.
Ok. Usually you would expect a proper band biography here. Or at least a description, a summary of what we think about our music. Actually we never managed to do that. First, because it is a bit odd to do this by yourself and everybody can listen to the music anyway. Second, because we never found a genre or style, which reflects our sound. Seems, we are somehow inbetween. And to be honest: we like it that way. However, we thought that we could give you a few press clips about our new record "Transition" on Thrill Jockey:
 :
"Transition..s austere minimalism belies the agreeable conditions of its creation: Kmet and Németh recording in a home studio in Vienna..s old town, drinking Schnapps and coffee in breaks between layering Rhodes piano, guitar, electronics and percussive strikes on the flat..s ancient heating system" (The Wire)
 :
""Transition" meanwhile, manages to sound equally familiar and exciting. With its integrative tendencies, it has turned into an album all friends of experimental music may be able to agree on this year. It is certainly not just the summer which makes it feel this warm" (Tokafi)
 :
"a taste of deliciously ordered chaos wrapped in a warm, acoustic package. Multi-dimensional flavors pull out the organic fears, whimsical idealism and stark logic that reside in every human brain." (Igloo Mag)
 :
" the Vienna-based duo Florian Kmet and Stefan Nemeth have sharpened their sound into a tight, taut fusion of electroacoustic instrumentation and dub – in the loosest sense – atmospherics. It is this use of the recording space as an instrument that lifts ‘Transition’ into the category of masterpiece." (Cyclic Defrost)
 :
The result (...) appears overall smoother and more delicate than the duo’s previous output, yet it retains the same granularity and subtle layering. Each track is composed of multitudes of sonic particles which continuously form, disperse and reform into various musical phrases, or progressively converge toward a central point"(The Milk Factory)
 :
"I’ve been turning the notion over and over in my head for days, rolled the phrase around on my tongue, and can say that with each subsequent listen to Transition it feels right to declare the album Austrian duo Florian Kmet and Stefan Nemeth’s masterwork." (Cokemachineglow)
 :
"Lokai conjoin sounds to silence, therefore there is a sense of exposure, the listener is stranded, unsure what is coming around the corner, what is lurking in the darkness" (Musos Guide)
 :
"The result is an album that floats you through a delicate and haunting dreamlike world, alternately soothing and unnerving. A sort of soundtrack for the inside of your head, Lokai’s Transition is an experimental instrumental excursion that manages to be much more than a philosophical point. Rather, it’s great music that actually takes you somewhere emotionally." (Kevchino)

Piko - Tote Blätter
..click on the picture for FREE DOWNLOAD..

for more infos or feedback - click it!

Die toten Blätter tanzen im Winde, wohl mehr vor Schmerz, als vor Glück,
wenn die Liebe den letzten Lebenssaft aus ihnen herausgepresst hat.
Mit Wortkleidern voller Metaphorik schmücken welkende Bilder mit Rap
und Gesang die neue EP von Piko - Tote Blätter
Erzählungen von Leidenschaft und Herzschmerz öffnen die Gefühlswelten
Sehnsucht auf melancholischen Melodien.
Lasst Euch auf 9 Tracks in die schwarzen Klangspektren der Liebe entführen.

liebe kundInnen,

club charisma darf euch zwei besondere schmankerl aufs ohr drücken, der eine ist kult und der andere eine krähe, auf der salzburger ausfahrt kann man keine toten töten und wo mit schuhen geschmissen wird, da bleibt kein lebkuchenherz ganz; und trotzdem sieht alles ganz anders aus, nein, ihr dürft sie nicht adoptieren, aber die liebe riskieren:

"Die Kunst der Stunde - die brotlose Gunst: elektronische Klänge und Hippiegesänge, Jazz, Rock und Indiepop, Chansons und Wienerlieder, des Zeitgeistes Für und Wider."


Mit sehr freundlichen Grüßen,

Scarlett 0´Heartattack (Principalin), LeStein & killbird

Die Tore des Labels "Bellum Iustum" öffnen sich nun offiziell zum 31. Oktober in Form des ersten Releases mit dem Namen "H 31". Dr. Soul(Beats, Raps, Labelleitung), DeeAss ONE(Rap, Gesang) und Tarikabi(Grafik) bilden die Kernmannschaft des Labels, die natürlich durch Featuregäste vergrößert wird, so wie es beim Labeldebüt bereits zu hören ist. Die EP wartet mit Features von Dr F., Scy, $aMC One, Pinhead, SCHWARTZ, Sick Ryk & DieStimme auf und demonstriert die Vielfalt des dämonischen Liedguts.  Von der Schlachterei über poetisch dunkle Worte, bis hin zum psychischen Wahnsinn wird so einiges vertreten sein. Natürlich ist diese kleine EP nur der erste Streich und es werden viele weitere Projekte folgen, es sollten also Ohren und Augen offen gehalten werden.
