Olivier Fraikin, performing under the alias Soelaas, is an electronic music producer and performer whose sound blends enigmatic melodies with found sounds to create a unique style of melodic, ethereal, and organic techno. His music is more than just sound; it is a journey designed to offer solace and comfort to listeners, helping them navigate through the challenges of life. The name Soelaas, meaning "solace" in Dutch, reflects his mission to provide emotional relief and connection through his art.

Born on September 22, 1990, in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium, Olivier’s musical journey began with a strong connection to rhythm and texture. From a young age, he explored traditional instruments like the djembe and didgeridoo, which helped shape his understanding of percussive dynamics and organic sound. These early experiences with world instruments would become foundational in his creative approach to electronic music.

At age 17, in 2007, Olivier began exploring minimal techno under the DJ name Duif-inc. During this time, he started creating sets with Virtual DJ, experimenting with mixing and blending different tracks, sharpening his ear for sound design and rhythm. Later on, he transitioned to Traktor, allowing him to further explore his craft. Soelaas' musical evolution continued as he taught himself how to produce music using Ableton, Maschine, and his synthesizers. Through trial and error, hours of practice, and a deep passion for sound design, he developed the skills to craft his own unique sound. Inspired by the works of Daft Punk, metal, ska-dub-reggae punk music, and later by Stephan Bodzin, Extrawelt and Soul Button,and Clawz Sg Soelaas became captivated by the potential of synthesizers, fascinated by their ability to create expansive, atmospheric sounds. He also found influence in Goa music, appreciating its unique blend of hypnotic rhythms and intricate melodies, which subtly shaped his approach to sound design. His background in beatboxing also remains central to his music, with vocal percussion serving as a key component that blends seamlessly into his electronic compositions. Soelaas combines all of these influences to build a sound that is both deeply rooted in organic rhythms and innovative in its use of technology.

Beyond music, Olivier is also passionate about abstract painting. He finds that his creativity flows naturally across both mediums, using visual art as a means to explore and express complex emotions and ideas. Just as his music explores intricate layers and textures, his paintings reflect the same sense of depth, abstraction, and emotional exploration, creating a visual counterpart to his sonic landscape.

Soelaas' music reflects his personal mission: to help listeners find peace and solace amid the struggles of life. Through the use of synthesizers, he creates lush, evolving melodies and textures that form the backbone of his compositions. His tracks are carefully crafted with layered synthesized sounds alongside found sounds—recordings of nature, urban life, and everyday objects—that add depth, atmosphere, and an earthy, human element to his music.

The music of Soelaas is both emotive and hypnotic. With intricate basslines, ethereal pads, and evolving soundscapes, his productions evoke a sense of calm introspection while maintaining a driving energy that works perfectly in both personal listening and club environments. His continued use of beatboxing adds a unique, percussive element that ties together the organic and synthetic elements in his music, creating a dynamic and multifaceted sound.

At the heart of Soelaas’ work is the idea of using music as a tool for healing and emotional connection. His name, Soelaas, directly translates to "solace" in Dutch, encapsulating his mission to offer comfort and refuge through sound. He believes music has the power to transcend the struggles of everyday life and provide listeners with a sense of relief, guiding them through emotional turbulence.

Soelaas’ music blends found sounds from the natural world—such as the sounds of wind, water, and city streets—with synthesizers to create a sonic experience that feels both organic and futuristic. The balance between the natural and the synthetic serves as a metaphor for the harmony between life's challenges and the peace that can be found through reflection and connection. His work aims to create a safe space for listeners to experience their emotions, heal, and find clarity.

Soelaas has established himself as a distinctive voice in the world of melodic techno, with his work being praised for its emotional depth and innovative approach to sound. In July 2024, he released his EP Awake on the Threerecords label, which was well-received for its atmospheric textures and driving rhythms.

He was also invited to be a part of the Dit Klingt Jut talent album, which was released on December 21, 2024. This inclusion further highlights his growing reputation in the electronic music scene.

On January 10, 2025, Soelaas released his EP Essence on Inner Symphony—a release that explores the deeper layers of emotional expression and personal growth. On January 24, 2025, he released his much-anticipated album Salvus ab Inferis. Additionally, his Balance EP was released on Be Adult Music on February 17, 2025, continuing his mission of offering solace and connection through his music. On March 28, 2025, his track "Leverage of the Soul" was released on Steyoyoke Perception Vol. 11 [SYYKPERC011], marking a powerful and atmospheric addition to his growing discography. Looking ahead, his next release, "History of a Found Creature", is scheduled for May 3rd, 2025—promising another deeply evocative sonic exploration.

Soelaas is committed to pushing the boundaries of his craft, exploring new techniques in sound design, and continuing to experiment with synthesizers, Maschine, and found sounds. Soelaas aims to continue expanding his musical horizons and to deepen his connection with listeners. Through his music, he strives to create a lasting impact—offering solace, comfort, and emotional healing for anyone who seeks it.

Biography
A pioneer activist, Crys L (Christophe Lyard) has been a fixture on the French electronic scene for over 30 years. From experimental projects with Pacific 231 or John Doe to the artistic direction of the legendary Magic club in Grenoble—where he organized his first raves with Laurent Garnier—he has never let go of either his passion or his vision.
Founder of Futuria Production, the Trance-Mission association, and the Sekence label, rooted in the French Touch movement (Phunky Data, Kiko, Ian Pooley…), he also co-founded Technopol in 1996, before producing some of the era's most iconic techno gatherings: Hexagona, the Amplitudes Festival, and the Futuria Raves at the Zénith in Paris.

An insatiable producer and programmer, he is one of the architects of the electronic explosion in the Rhône-Alpes region (Kiko, Oxia, Agoria, Alex K, The Hacker…), and has regularly crossed paths with Prodigy, Carl Cox, Jeff Mills, David Guetta, and Marc Cerrone, whom he has worked with since 2013. The pandemic marked a turning point: a return to machines, a return to the decks. In 2022, he played again in Lyon alongside Scan X, held residencies on Club FG and Maxximum (Radio FG), signed with Balagan Music (Wagram Music), and released his debut single This Is My Berlin (Sekence/Wagram Music) in 2023, featuring Rocket Mike (Tristesse Contemporaine).
Since then, everything has accelerated. Cherchez le Garçon, Hironoda, and Primal have found their place in the playlists.
Crys L has shared the stage with Cerrone, Josh Wink, Popof, and Timid Boy, and has performed at venues including the Philharmonie de Paris, the Lake Parade in Geneva, and the XNV Festival.
Carried by three decades of passion, his music flows between indie dance, melodic techno, and club energy.
Always in motion, true to his vision, Crys L continues his journey to the rhythm of his passion.
