Mirko Loko has done a special mix to support the release of his 3rd album “Twin Bang” which features Derrick May, Ursula Rucker and Moody Preachers

“This album is the first release of my new label, which is a platform to express myself and other friendly artists. I try to make all my influences inside and open a new chapter on my music process.” – Mirko Loko

Comet Traxx is the new label of Swiss prolific producer Mirko Loko, best known for his musical output on Cadenza, Visionquest and Memento Records.

Mirko Loko’s passion for music has led him on an upward trajectory ever since he first started DJing in the late ‘90s clubs of Lausanne. Based at the crossroads between Detroit-inspired techno and the stripped-down-yet-jacked-up side of house, his music is that of diversity and subtlety. It’s high-class yet low-slung, a hypnotic collage sewn together by shifting layers of darkness and light.

Mirko’s impressive discography has spanned such labels as Cocoon, Border Community, Wagon Repair, Planet E, Desolat, and Visionquest.  This is not to mention his collaborative work with Detroit’s Stacey Pullen, and his remixes of everyone from Martina Topley-Bird (Massive Attack) to Layo & Bushwacka. He’s also been on the receiving end of the remix treatment from such techno titans as Carl Craig and Ricardo Villalobos.

Born in 1979 in Lausanne, Mirko has always loved music. After DJing in clubs, Couleur3 (Swiss national radio) snapped him up as a DJ and programme planner between 1997 and 2001. During this time he continued DJing nationally but also started performing internationally at places like Rex in Paris, DC 10 IBIZA, Tresor Berlin or Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Streetparade in Zurich, and In 2003 he became artistic programmer at Loft Club in Lausanne. He then met Raphael Gros and together they formed Lazy Fat People, a production unit that was to impact heavily over the next few years. Their debut, ‘Big City’, came out in 2006 on James Holden’s Border Community.
