The latest from Matador..... ---------------------------- Also of probable interest to you in the near future is our May 4 release by KHAN. Khan is Mr. Can Oral, a German electronic artist of Turkish/Finnish descent now living in New York, where he owns the influential record shop Temple Records. Khan was quite influential in the Cologne scene, and has continued to be active since moving to New York. He has recorded for the Basic Channel, Mille Plateaux, Force Inc., Caipirinha, Eat Raw, and DJUngle Fever labels, among others. His new album is pure SLEAZE, inspired by New York's recent regression to underground sex in light of Guiliani's abolition of sex clubs. Khan sees himself as kind of a Frank Sinatra or Elvis of electronic music, determined to sexualize the rather sterile techno scene, and move attention from the machine to the body, from the record to the performer. He's a nut.
