Hekt – Lens is the Danish multimedia artist’s first release under the name, and his debut on Numbers. Listen now to the high-octane ‘Main Tab’ and the incendiary ‘Sync’ featuring Kevin JZ Prodigy.

Out on 22 March 2024, the six club tracks on Lens showcase Hekt’s stunning, widescreen productions alongside highlight vocal features from the Norwegian duo Smerz and US ballroom legend Kevin JZ Prodigy.
A collision of cybernetic techno and stadium-scale electronics that accelerates through raucous and memorably squiggly melodies, ‘Main Tab’ is a peak-time intro to Hekt’s pristine and playful sound, while ‘Sync’ connects European dancefloors and American runways between Hekt and the Philly-born Prodigy, who also appeared on Beyoncé’s ‘Pure/Honey’ on Renaissance, and performed with both Beyoncé and Madonna on their recent world tours.
Hekt is Danish multimedia artist Jesper Nørbæk, who previously released music as a member of the duo Code Walk for labels like Peder Mannerfelt Produktion and London’s Ex-Local. Part of Copenhagen’s thriving experimental electronic music community, Hekt has mixed records for the likes of Smerz and Ingrate, and performed at venues ranging from the Statens Museum of Kunst to Culture Box and Corsica Studios. On Lens, his music ricochets between peak-time electronic music and sound art to achieve the best of both worlds – quirky and serious, entertaining and confounding, funky and freaky.
