… says the young Californian who has been living in Hamburg, Germany for a bit over 3 years now.

After leaving the U.S. as a “political refugee” when George W. Bush was re-elected in 2005, Shaolyn (otherwise known as Lynne Welton) came to the birthplace of hard electronic music: Germany.

“I chose to learn German in school, when everyone else learned Spanish and I have always loved bands like DAF. I have also always been politically active in California, so when Bush got re-elected I could not bear to live in that country anymore. So I literally left everything behind and came to Hamburg with nothing but 2 suitcases. At first it was very, very hard, because I had nowhere to stay and no job, but I coped and made it - and now I can’t imagine living anywhere else!”

Shaolyn successfully blends hard EBM basslines with techno, hardstyle and a sprinkle of powernoise to create a unique mix that is clearly a step ahead of the female-fronted electro competition.

“I love dancing and that’s why I make music that you can dance to. If it’s bouncy and powerful, nothing will keep me from getting onto the dancefloor - and my tunes are a reflection of that spirit …” says the young woman with a smirk.

Shaolyn really kicks the dancefloor’s ass!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shaolyn's song "Face Down" are very explicit and leave little to the imagination. The song is about a sexual position that involves the person being on their hands and knees with their face down and their butt up in the air. The lyrics repeat the phrase "face down, ass up" multiple times throughout the song, which makes it clear what the song is about. The phrase "that's the way we like to f***" is also repeated several times, emphasizing the sexual nature of the song.

Despite the explicit nature of the lyrics, it's possible to interpret the song in a more artistic way. The position described in the song could be seen as a symbol of vulnerability and surrender, with the person taking on a submissive role during sex. The repetition of the same phrase over and over again could also be seen as a way of emphasizing the intensity and passion of the sexual experience.

Overall, "Face Down" is a very provocative song that leaves little to the imagination. While the lyrics are explicit, it's also possible to interpret the song in a more artistic way that focuses on themes of vulnerability and surrender.
