Christian Falk

Swedish mix master and top dance track composer Christian Falk dramatically demonstrates his sonic vision and unmatched collaborative skills on his Atlantic debut, QUEL BORDEL. Already a much-heralded success overseas, QUEL BORDEL - or "a bloody mess," pardon his French - stands out from the 1999 maze with its tasteful mix of grooves, cool nocturnal flavor, and inspired incorporation of vocals tracks with smooth rhythms. Among the top-flight vocalists heard throughout the album are the celebrated (Stockholm-born) Neneh Cherry, new Norwegian pop sensation Robyn, and acclaimed soulstress Jevetta Stelle (best known for her "Calling You" contribution on the Bagdad Cafe soundtrack), along with newcomers as Cindy and Stephen Simmonds.

Swedish DJ/producer Christian Falk began his musical career as a bass player, backing artists like Richard Lloyd and Marty Wilson-Piper during the 1980s. Falk combined this musical background with the rising popularity of dance music in the '90s, becoming a producer for dance-pop acts like Robyn, for whom he arranged, produced, and remixed tracks on her enormously popular debut album, Robyn Is Here. Falk expanded on his prominence as a producer in 1999, releasing his jazzy, groove-oriented debut album, Quel Bordel, which featured cameos from Robyn and Neneh Cherry, among others. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
