Gajek
Vitamin D
Boomkat Product Review:
Clark’s Throttle Records introduce Gajek to the fold with a curious suite of psych and folk-inspired offbeat electronica after turns for Monkeytown.
‘Vitamin D’ trades in a satisfyingly tart style of synth dissonance twisted into almost familiar avant-folk and pop song structures, at times redolent of his label boss’s much-loved styles, and at others even recalling the tangy guitar tone + autotune aesthetic of Julia Reidy.
“Gajek´s most personal record yet. Alive, detailed, urgent and fresh the album explores evolving textures of highly energetic digital production, vibrant rhythms and haunting lyrical work. Boldly expanding a futuristic and strikingly original musical language Gajek creates a beautiful and deeply moving work of great sincerity and emotional immediacy, making a provocative case for pushing what is possible in a world occupied with calculating what is probable.
Matti Gajek (he/him) is a product of socialist biohacking. Injected with high doses of vitamin D directly after birth, the GDR made sure his bones would be strong even if he never saw the sun. The practice of high-dosage-vitamin D injection, abolished in the West in the 1960s, remained a standard in East German childcare until the wall came down in 1989. It has since become a topic of conspiracy theories surrounding differences of East and West German bodies. The child of political activists, Gajek lived through his first revolution shortly before entering primary school. He grew up in the temporal anomaly created when the end of history was declared and the country he was born in disappeared. Gajek is a musician and artist, publishing records on Throttle Records, Monkeytown and Infinite Greyscale and composing for films, theatre, performances and installations.”
