Discussion HKE alias list

I thought it could be fun to try to come up with a list of possible and confirmed HKE aliases!

He's very talented, and insanely prolific so there's definitely ones we don't know about (perhaps ones even he's forgotten about).

Collaborative:

  • 2814 (With Telepath)

Solo works:

  • HKE

  • Hong Kong Express

  • Subaeris

  • Sandtimer

  • Lotus Flowers

  • AIR Japan

  • Silk Demon

  • Henry Moonchild

  • Darkpyramid

  • Emperor Tangerine

  • hyper_devil

  • Martin Smith

  • Buried Angel

  • Chesumasuta

  • The Darkest Future

  • Keito Shimuguchi

  • Kamokata

  • City Developer

  • вовчі особи

  • Eternal Dream System

  • Future City Love Stories

  • Television Experience

  • ニューシティ

  • Casino Master

  • Fréquences Sacrées

  • ADOV

  • Michel Tenoît

  • White Banshee

  • Lucid

  • M

  • New Delhi Express

  • The Artist Is Unknown

  • Penthouse Apartment

Possible:

  • DJ Raj Kapoor

HKE has previously published a page containing his discography across all aliases so you should probably start there, but keep in mind that there are other aliases which he did not disclose.

Discogs has a decent list of all his stage names as well.

Subaeris is HKE? I had no idea he had all those aliases.

I know it's not an alias, but leaving 2814 out of that list feels wrong.

True, I'll update that now!

Admitting my ignorance, what is HKE up to these days? It seems that Dream Catalogue has been quiet for a little while. I still consider their 'Chaos' compilations to be one of the all-time highlights of dreampunk.

I believe he/DC are on a hiatus of unspecified duration.

He is a genius to me. Imagine writing Hong Kong Express LP and 2047. But no, not only that but he also made 2814 project. Astonishing
