German musician and producer Luis Ake is known for his genre-bending, convention-defying and out-of-the-box musical creations. He’s made a name for himself by effortlessly moving through the imagined boundaries between genres, crossing them and connecting the unexpected unlike anyone else, transcending genre altogether. Now, the prince of Synth-Pop returns to offer up his long-awaited second album, Liebe, released under Mansions & Millions.

10-tracks long, Liebe, or ‘Love’ in English, is a groundbreaking body of work from Luis Ake who continues to grow as an artist with each release whilst expanding the very definition of German pop.

Lyrically captivating and conceptually complex, Liebe sees Luis Ake cleverly explore the dimensions of our being as humans in search of an explanation for what we understand as romantic love and its manifold mysteries. 

Slinking seamlessly between Synth Pop to Dark Wave, to Italo Disco and Neue Deutsche Welle, no stone is left unturned when Luis Ake creates and Liebe is a shining example of his immense talents and unending versatility. 

A true artist, Luis Ake is a man who is fully in charge of his sound and artistic vision, whether it be opening up about heartbreak or lighting up dancefloors with 80s inspired grooves, Luis Ake welcomes his own vulnerability, embracing the unknown and this album is just as much a unique perspective and exploration of sound as it is of Liebe. 

"For me, pop music is an art form that is not exclusively about music" - Luis Ake

It's also about multidimensionality to him, it's about avoiding repetition and embracing pathos, not shying away from big feelings and creating a new world for the listeners, a world in which they can be completely and utterly absorbed, which they can shape and understand as they please. In search of the explanation for love, perhaps, and for the one beautiful dream that is never going to end. Even if you have to journey across dimensions to achieve it.

Folk-Hop Vol.II Jesse Aymon Dettwiler, most commonly known as C4C, is a multi-instrumentalist composer and music producer. This is the second chapter of C4C's Folk-Hop Movement Debut LP. This new "Folk-Hop" style has been described as "indie-folk culture finally catches the hip-hop bounce"  Us at IndieX couldn't disagree with that statement at all. C4C blends together sounds that work on so many levels. All the tracks move seamlessly as you're taken in by the immersive listening experience. Somewhat minimalistic, the calming, tranquil tones introduced in the tracks sit atop a hum of a variety of different instrumentation. Having already released dozens of tracks, it's little surprise just how much soul is poured into this art, and the outcome is staggering in its beauty.  The impressive element of the music is how tender and immersive it is, whilst still portraying a real and undeniable sense of power. It all passes with wonderful flying
