lovefear - Meet at the northern gate

‘Mixtape_01’ is the debut drop from Vienna-based ssolve, and a low key hit of the reset button on a range of electronic musics. Reconstituting strewn sounds from club nights and noise gigs, ssolve’s fresh sound takes in liberated dark beats from gqom, kaleidoscopic neoperro, along with guttural industrial throbs (and screams). ssolve moulds these pieces into a fresh little world of heady glocalised bass, beats, and bombast. Behind the mixtape’s sounds lie years of experience ghost-writing, producing, and sound-designing for a range of projects.

Finally let loose, unconstrained, ssolve’s tentacles blossom across cinematic granules of thudding light on ‘Ultra Forever’, sculpt an intimate ambient prayer on ‘Waves’, or slice samples into visceral dancefloor-ready riddims on ‘RYTM F’, ‘RYTM C’, and ‘RYTM D’.

Born in Germany, ‘89 to a Namibian/German Household, ssolve has lived in Vienna for over a decade. ‘mixtape_01’ was co-created with Enesi M., Ragnheiður Erla Björnsdóttir, and Ernst Lima.

We are thrilled to unveil lain os is online vol. 2: club cyberia, the 33rd release from Absurd Trax. Building on the foundation laid by volume 1, this collection brings together another 17 artists from across the globe, spanning from Argentina to Hong Kong, all paying homage to Serial Experiments Lain—the quintessential anime for our generation. The theme of this release, "club cyberia," is brought to life by these artists, who have crafted the ideal soundtrack for a night spent in the heart of a digital underworld.

Entering through an ambient dembow gateway, listeners are drawn into a realm of compositional prowess and emotional resonance. Here, each track tells its own story: a deconstructed club anthem that evolves from serene string arrangements into pulsating club beats, a thundering drum ‘n’ bass banger that doubles as an emotional rollercoaster, footwork that deftly weaves in the anime's iconic soundscapes (yes, even that familiar powerline hum), and a melancholic yet soothing score from the show, perfectly...  more
