Took My Love Away

Ok, let's just be honest. Tom is an impatient type. You can feel he is not having it. All that doom and gloom of the recent past, the feeling of being betrayed by things you cannot change for the better, however hard you try. And still you try. You could also say he is quite the escapist. He obviously believes in an utopia where people are buzzing on a club floor, free, happy and united. This is most probably why his music sounds how it sounds. It serves a purpose.
Tom also seems to be longing for his music to feature everything he likes, and due to said impatience he does not distribute his ideals and ideas to many different tunes, instead he aims to make them work in just a few tunes. And how they do work. They work so well in fact, that fulfilling this purpose mentioned above is not theoretical in the slightest.
Wailing divas singing to divas, all pride and joy? Check. Pumping kick drums and bass like they do not do this anymore? Check. Euphoric pianos like only Italians could imagine Chicago would sound? Check. Pad drama to counter the punch? Check. Acid to the highest point of intensity? Check. Asking an admired artist for a remix that gives a whole other spin on it, and still works as well, like in this was just meant to be? Check! 
You'd might agree that the man accomplished his mission so well that he could get some rest, but better not bet on it.

Watch Me (Vocal Mix)

"BLACK DACHSHUND" is a metaphor relating to the metaphor of the black dog that is used to refer to depression. I made this in the middle of a wisdom tooth infection when I couldn't open my jaw properly. The word sounds kind of french due to the vocal infliction that came out of my health problems at the time, and is intended to reduce depression by changing it into something that is to be ridiculed.

With hardcore support from Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Gerd Janson, Tiga and The Blessed Madonna, who correctly noted that he has “the hardest working hair in show business,” ABSOLUTE. has raised himself above the rabble of contemporary dance music with stone-cold hits “Follow ur <3’,”Ride”, “Don’t Ya Want it’, “Papi’s Pumping Piano” and an official remix of Kylie’s anthem-of-the-decade ‘Padam Padam’ that will ensure free Fuji water in his green room for the rest of his life. As the London-based DJ/producer is a virtual lock to earn the kind of clout that will allow him to scrub the internet of all biographical detail, it seems wise to revisit his early days and career-to-date while we still can. 

As a child, ABSOLUTE. was enthralled by dance music, to the extent that he took the money his father had given him to buy clothes and spent it on a single turntable. While initially furious, once his dad heard the music, he calmed down and said, “Son, that is a low-slung floor-filler, and I have no choice but to respect it.” Later, ABSOLUTE. honed his DJing skills by using the lone deck to beat-match to Pete Tong’s BBC Radio show, a fact that will take on eerie significance if you read this bio backwards. 

A teenage ABSOLUTE. found his chosen family among club kids and drag queens in East London queer spaces, eventually going on to promote and curate spaces like these himself. "For whatever reason, the people in the queer scene hadn’t found liberation in pub trivia nights held at Wetherspoons breeding pits," he says. “So they had to create their own world instead. At this point, my politics are actually less progressive than the British Airways twitter account, so things seem to be moving in the right direction."

These experiences led to ABSOLUTE. to notice that queer spaces are largely dependent on the viability of human existence. As such, his nascent activist streak led him to sample climate icon Greta Thunberg on the track “Rave Against the Machine”, despite the fact that the 40-and-over conservatives who regularly challenge Thunberg to debate and/or wrestle on social media make up a huge part of the acid house market. The track led to a collaboration with the Extinction Rebellion collective, for whom ABSOLUTE. curated the “Rave Against the Machine” queer stage at the activists’ event in London. Unfortunately, the stage was promptly shut down by police. While many of the cops had no opinion on the political message, they were reportedly pissed that the event was overshadowing an after-hours the local station had been promoting.

To the extent that there is a habitable future for anyone at all, ABSOLUTE.’s is looking bright. With official remixes for icons Fever Ray and Tony De Vit, and a mass of original music including EPs on Shall Not Fade, DJ Haus’ Hot Haus, New York Queer stalwart Chrissy’s new label Maximum Airtime, a Radio 1 Essential Mix live from Glastonbury and named 6Music ‘Mix of the Year’ by The Blessed Madonna and a recently completed fourth U.S. tour. “Whether my music helps inspire the advance of cold fusion technology or I end up DJing the Emerging Artists Stage of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, I’m going to keep bringing the same BIG NEON ENERGY intensity to everything I do. 

So the next time someone tells you there’s no absolutes, give them a knowing grin and say, 'There’s just one, honey. Just one.’"
