It​’​s Pulling My Strings

‘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.

RYTM F

Genre tags. How outdated, how limiting. In our everything-all-at-once media landscape, dull catch-all terms like 'dance' are no longer useful for artists and archivists hoping to describe music that spills and oozes out of any box you try to force it into.

As a test case, take At Her Open Door, aka Taiki Kobayashi, an artist who crosses dubstep, experimental, IDM, rave, trance, gabber, noise, and 80s synthwave. For his new EP 𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙮 𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨, he says his productions give form to the sound he wants to hear, a sound that fuses conflicting emotions and expressions.

Perhaps 30 seconds or so into 𝘈𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘳 you think you've got his number, nodding along to the complex uplifting trance chords. But then comes the noise, the glitches, the distortion, the ultrachaos.

Or how about 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘴, which begins with metallic phrases that seem predictably grime-adjacent, before suddenly switching up into a hard trance untz-athon.

Finally, 𝘠𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘴 is a violent hypercontemporary glitched-out deconstructed club track that's also a nostalgic hoover-driven rave anthem. You can read that again if you need to.

So any ideas for how to categorise this would be much appreciated. Leave your answers in the comments. Please like and subscribe.

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

Futurism and Rave Culture.
It was made on a home-made computer. And that was what I would do and that’s how this started.

// EXTRACT
“Rave culture was exploding and everyone was trying to make a bit of cash and make it bigger and bigger”. Guerrilla explained. “That’s when I got into the whole world of electronic music. It was all the same thing - just people going off on a musical journey”

//TRANSFORM
That journey was the same experience which G-Dragon had with electronic music when he was 16.
“I went to the Local art festival, and people would be partying all night long and just on drugs and paying for anything. It was a nightmare”, said G-Dragon.
He recalls how his friends who went to the art festival were “just totally on drugs. It was a real nightmare to go into that crowd”
