After receiving attention in 2006 for a track released on Advanced Electronics vol3, Faderhead was signed to Accession Records/Indigo and released his debut album "FH1". One year later, he followed up with his sophomore album "FH2".
In 2008, Faderhead parted ways with Accession Records and joined L-Tracks Recordings. On October 10th, the third Faderhead album, aptly titled "FH3" was released.
Faderhead's live show is currently supported by Marco Visconti (of XP8) on keyboards and backing vocals. The Hamburg producer/vocalist uses different musicians for live shows.
The Beat Has Started
Faderhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now the weekend's started
Left the normal world behind
Join in the departed
Let the substances control you
For world retarded
Move your body to the beat
'Cause the beat has started
Let the subs command your soul
As you hit the floor
The distortion in your ears
Makes you stay for more
Cannot leave before the end
Let the hormones soar
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
Take a break and enjoy the scene as you scan the crowd
Now the beats have turned surreal
What it's all about
Will this ringing in your ear
Leave this world retarded
Move your body to the beat
'Cause the beat has started
Let the subs command your soul
As you hit the floor
The distortion in your ears
Makes you stay for more
Cannot leave before the end
Let the hormones soar
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
'Cause the beat has started
The lyrics to Faderhead's song "The Beat Has Started" portray the experience of a typical night out in the club scene. At 10 pm on a Friday night, the weekend has begun, and the person has left their normal life behind to join the departed. The substances they consume take control, and they dance to the beat because the beat has started. The person is letting go of their inhibitions to fully embrace the club culture.
The subs, or the substances they have taken, seem to command their soul as they hit the dance floor. The distortion in their ears from the loud music makes them want to stay for more. They cannot leave the club before the end and let their hormones soar. The lyrics suggest that the person is enjoying the surreal experience of the club scene but may be left in a world that is "retarded" (or slowed down) by their substance use.
The repeated lyrics of "Cause the beat has started" reinforce the idea that the person is fully immersed in the music and the club experience. The song ends with the person taking a break to scan the crowd, but they still cannot resist the beat and continue to dance because the beat has started. Overall, the lyrics capture the escapism and freedom that people seek in the club scene, at the expense of the potential consequences.
