Episode 7: Praga Khan Talks New Lords of Acid Album 'Pretty In Kink'


Listen Later

Maurice Joseph Francois Engelen, best known by his alias Praga Khan, is one of the most influential figures in electronic music.
Engelen's pioneering work in the New Beat scene from his native Belgium would lead to forming The Lords Of Acid, a beloved techno act that gained instant notoriety thanks to their hook-laden dance singles (all of which are written and produced by Engelen) filled with sexually provocative lyrics on hit singles like 'Dipped in Acid' and 'The Crab Louse.'
Following on last year's tour celebrating their 1994 classic release 'Voodoo-U,' Lords of Acid are back with 'Pretty In Kink,' their first album of new material since 2012 (out 5/18 on Metropolis Records).
On this week's episode, Engelen discusses the creative process behind the new album, how his crowdfunding campaign allowed the fans to contribute to the project (in some surprising ways!), the new lineup, upcoming tour and more.
In addition, we're also playing 'Goldfinger,' a single off the new album.
