Lyrics:
The sun is high
I am going outside
Vampires are asleep
Witches are taking over

Blood pressure is high
Need to pump some iron or German steel
That's how I want to feel
From now on

Love is high
Stomach and butterflies
Witches and vampires
Frenchies do it better

Kittin is high

Lyrics:
Listen to Miss Kittin and The Hacker's new direction
Driving a car or 3 0 3
Giving you a piece of life and energy 
Somewhere in the universe for a novel
We try to analyze feelings
Thinking about you
Friends, mountains and party times
I wish you could see us
How we are, what we love and hate

This is what our music is about
You and us
This is what our music is about

Listen to Miss Kittin and the Hacker 
Our mind is real, on a cloud
When someone's playing us in a club at night
And we receive smiling on the dance floor
Trying to forget everything
We don't know you
But you are a part of ourselves 
And we can look into your eyes
Wherever you are

Because this is what our music is about
You and us
Cause that is what our music is about
You and us

Listen to Miss Kittin and The Hacker 
We take planes from hotels every weekend 
We drive on the highway to other places
Looking at the landscape running behind the window
We are all alone
Listen to something on the stereo

We would like to see skyline and city lights of New York 
Or Tokyo and then come back to the green fields we know
And do nothing and sleep
And do that again and again

Because this is what our music is about 
You and Us
This is what our music is about
You and us

Listen to Miss Kittin and The Hacker
Because this is what our music is about
You and us
You and us

This is what our music is about
You and us

For over a decade, Jason Amm’s work as Solvent has neatly defied categorization. His music is too sweetly melodic for techno or acid, his compositions too fiendishly detailed for synth-pop. He was too steeped in the sounds of the ‘80s to participate in the incipient IDM scene; he was briefly lumped in with the short-lived electroclash movement, only to outlive it; he’s played “minimal wave” parties and goth clubs, indie-rock shows and techno all-nighters. But even as words fail in the face of Solvent’s music, its pleasures are anything but elusive.

Today, Zimbabwe-born Jason Amm lives in Toronto, ON, where he spends his time obsessively grappling with an outsized collection of vintage analog synthesizers, samplers, and sequencers. Solvent first materialized in 1997 with a string of singles and full-lengths (1998’s Solvent, 1999’s Solvently One Listens) on Amm’s own Suction Records, the Toronto-based label he founded with Lowfish’s Gregory DeRocher. The watershed release Solvent City (2001) on Berlin-based Morr Music introduced Amm’s sound to a wider audience, and Apples &amp; Synthesizers (2004) marked Solvent’s move to Ghostly International. Along with notable remixes of artists including Soft Cell, Alter Ego, and Adult., Solvent tracks have appeared on high-profile DJ mixes and seminal compilations.

Solvent’s most recent record on Ghostly International, 2010?s Subject to Shift, marks a turn for the darker as Amm embraces his love of the abrasive sounds of acid and industrial. And while a sinister tone or two now dances among Solvent’s sparkling hooks and bright streaks of synthesizer, and while Amm’s music drifts even further from accepted genre-specific reference points, Solvent’s sound has only deepened. After more than ten years of composing love songs for robots, Amm sounds like nothing more than himself.
