We welcome another great talent and new Blank Wave family member: France based Charlotte Boisselier alias Cate Hortl is combining her fascination for the energy of the clubs and her passion for haunted melodies of dark Pop.

After a period of creating with the dazzling Ambeyance and Oktober Lieber bands, she has now been working solo for the past three years, carving out a more intimate path and bringing long standing explorations to life.

Feeding her inferno with 80s influences, she conjures up modern Italo, heavy-footed dark Pop, galvanizing EBM and ecstatic Techno in a stormy atmosphere, fusing melancholy and joy, dance and introspection.

By appropriating these registers and their contradictions, she has put together the exciting first EP “Smog”, released in the fall of 2021 on Ritmo Fatale. Just after, she released “HEX”, on the Warriorecords label. More recently, two of her new tracks were released on the Club Forever label, and she took part in the latest compilation by New York label Samo Records.

Rettenbacher (Dub Mix)

Lukas Akata is the co-founder of Frankfurt based collective and event series
"Project Operator".
Over the years, Lukas Akata has fine-tuned his own individual DJ style, which is a
blend of bass-heavy Electro, Breakbeat and Acid featuring subtile EBM
influences.
Dutch westcoast and Detroit inspiration breathe raw energy into his sets. Each
performance is a journey along the darker, more intense side of electronic
music, featuring dark basslines, retro synths and driving percussions.
In addition to his DJ performances, Akata is also a prolific music producer. He
works intensively with hardware synthesizers in his studio to create his unique
sound. His EP "Pressure Zone" is a standout example of his creative work, mainly
falling into the IDM, Breakbeat, and Electro genres. More productions are
planned for later this year.
As the co-founder of Project Operator since its launch in 2018, Akata has been
keen to challenge musical status quos within Frankfurt. This event series
happens every few months and is a paradise for lovers of underground
electronic music. Through the careful crossovers of line-ups, his selections
always keep genre boundaries unscathed, putting quality and innovation into
the front row, catering to an open-minded audience.

Taken from "Ware - Sable Bay (Remixes) EP (Absent Music)".  Out July 05th 2024. Buy here : https://absent-music.bandcamp.com

Ware's Sable Bay was one of our faves from their debut album 'Star Catalogue', so we thought it only right to serve it up with the remix treatment from a few of our nearest and dearest.
First up we have 'Bryan Hillebrandt', an Oakland multi-instrumentalist and serial collaborator (Oakland Afternoon Ensemble, Askr, Galvagna / Hillebrandt). Bryan's take is a true textural journey and masterclass in how ambient music should flow, hints of Eno, flecks of Glass, and a smattering of Twin's more introspective work.
Next up is Absent Music's very own 'Antikue', who obliges with a more upbeat and glitched out affair, swirly beats, detuned pianos, and a build-up that would give the '45 minute waiting room crew' a real euphoric splash as it hits.
Last up on remix duties is 'New King', who worked with the band to craft his new age, afterparty in the woods, acoustic guitar rendition, adding a whole new dimension to this beautiful EP.
To round things out, we have an exclusive instrumental of the original track.

Sable Bay (Remixes) EP

Sable Bay (Antikue's 'Bay Of Pigs' Remix)

PREMIERE : Ware - Sable Bay (Antikue's 'Bay Of Pigs' Remix) (Absent Music)

“Home can be so many things....it can be a permanent, it can be temporary, it can be the feeling of surrendering to bad habits, it can be that familiar spot on a dance floor, your favourite seat in a bar, the people you surround yourself with, feeling a sense of freedom, your family base...the possibilities are endless. It’s a word that cannot really be defined.”

‘True Peace Found Her In The End’ is IDM inspired and features ambient percussion samples and a resonant bass line, comparable to the softer side of Aphex Twin’s discography and brings the album to a close.

‘Home’ will be released on Feed The Void on 26th July 2024.
