In the heart of the city, where the noise of daily life never ceased, there was a moment, rare and almost forgotten, when silence fell. It started with a single note a sound so pure that it seemed to resonate not just in the air, but deep inside, somewhere beneath the surface of things. The note lingered, a gentle vibration that rippled through the stillness of a crowded street, unnoticed at first by the masses, but slowly, they began to listen.

The music unfolded in waves, each note a soft touch, like the brush of a hand against a weary heart. It was a melody that felt both ancient and new, weaving through the space between people, as though it were meant just for them. As the notes flowed, a subtle shift occurred a quiet healing, not of wounds, but of something more delicate, more essential.

Those who heard it, even for a fleeting moment, felt something stir inside them a release, a softening of burdens they hadn’t realized they were carrying. It was as if the music had found its way into the hidden places, the spaces left untended, and gently began to soothe them.

No one knew where the music came from, nor the name of the mysterious hand that had touched the world so softly. But the track, Heal the Unknown, was all anyone knew. The unknown, the composer had called it. Perhaps it was not a mystery of the self, but of others the strangers walking beside us, the invisible pains we carry for one another.

The world was not healed all at once, nor in any grand gesture. It was subtle like a whispered truth, a quiet shift, a brief moment of peace carried on the wings of sound. And through it, in its gentle, invisible way, the human race was touched. Slowly, imperceptibly, the healing had begun.

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 created sets using Virtual DJ, experimenting with mixing and blending different tracks and sharpening his ear for sound design and rhythm. Later on, he transitioned to Traktor, allowing him to further refine his DJing style and explore deeper sonic textures.

In 2015, Olivier began a new chapter of musical exploration with a co-production project called Animalisch, alongside his friend Kinky Brain Monkey (now known as Lavy). The project was raw, imaginative, and genre-bending, allowing both artists to push boundaries and experiment freely with sound. This collaboration sparked a deeper dive into electronic production tools and marked a natural evolution in Olivier’s creative journey.

Olivier taught himself how to produce music using Ableton, Maschine, and his growing arsenal of 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, and later by Stephan Bodzin, Extrawelt, Soul Button, and Clawz SG, Soelaas became captivated by the potential of synthesizers, fascinated by their ability to create expansive, atmospheric worlds. He also drew inspiration from Goa music, appreciating its hypnotic rhythms and intricate melodies, which subtly influenced his sound design. His background in beatboxing remains central to his music, with vocal percussion often woven seamlessly into his electronic compositions.

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 aspects of his sound, creating a dynamic and multifaceted experience.

At the heart of Soelaas’ work is the idea of using music as a tool for healing and emotional connection. His name, Soelaas, encapsulates this ethos—offering comfort and refuge through sound. He believes music can transcend the struggles of everyday life and provide listeners with clarity, peace, and emotional release.

His work often 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. This interplay between the natural and synthetic reflects his broader philosophy: that within life’s chaos, beauty and calm can still be found. His music creates a safe space for reflection, healing, and emotional grounding.

Electronic Music Producer based near Cambridge, UK

Welcome to my soundscape, where a plethora of harmonies and auditory delights are present. My artistic focus is more on what I think sounds right than adhering to a specific genre. My musical tastes range from techno to progressive house, but not exclusively.

LackOfAffekt crafts melodic and progressive techno sounds like forgotten dreams stitched together with magnetic tape an ever-shifting tapestry of noise, melody, and memory. Rooted in the experimental and the emotional, their work lives at the threshold where beauty unravels and becomes something stranger. 

Voices flicker like distant signals, rhythms fracture and reform, and textures bleed into one another like light through cracked glass.

Drawing from the broken, the haunted, and the divine, LackOfAffekt doesn’t make music to be understood, only felt. Each track is a transmission from elsewhere: part séance, part signal loss, part sanctuary.

This is music for the in-between spaces.
For the ones who dance, where ever the place.
For the ones who still listen when the world goes quiet.

LackOfAffekt has released music with noteable labels such as: Steyoyoke and Deed music berlin.

His belief is that every song should tell a story.

"Doubt everything- and then doubt the doubt" ;) 🌚🌌
