Frankmusik - In Step

Let us introduce you to the world of Frankmusik, aka Vincent Frank. A 22-year old St Martins dropout with his music HQ in Croydon and gran as a stylist. A self-taught multi instrumentalist, producer, remixer, talented graphic designer, photographer, video director by default and future music impresario.

Frankmusik's pop music is beamed in from the neon lights and hover-bikes of a dystopian Pacific Rim Metropolis. 'Blade runner pop' is how he describes it and with its rushing synthetic synths and lightspeed vocals, you can imagine Frankmusik performing to replicants in a dive bar in the shadow of the 700-storey Tyrell Corp complex. Speeding along at 145bpm both tracks are under the influence of Frankmusik's misspent youth in the suburbs of South London listening to jungle and drum and bass.

'In Step', conversely, was written in the grip of youthful depression and insecurity. Check out the video...



Vince quit his degree in product design at the London College of Fashion to focus on music, feeling at one point that all he had was 'my computer and my nightlife - I was freaking out'. Like all the best British pop, Frankmusik remodels the dull stuff of everyday experience and machines it into glistening, majestic fantasy - universal emotions in hyper-colours. Producing all his tracks himself, Vince is a new whirlwind force in the accelerated UK pop landscape. He's a fluent self-taught pianist. He's started his own label to put out his debut release, Apparent Records. He's done his own artwork for the release, as well as his own video.
