Having christened the label with its first two solo artist releases at the back end of 2023 (‘Wide Awake’ and ‘Temporary’), LIFEFORMS co-founder Tim Engelhardt and Austrian-Swedish duo Solique now return to the flourishing imprint with the announcement of their eagerly anticipated debut collaboration ‘Alive.
Out now, ‘Alive’ is an unequivocally cool slice of vibrant, melodic techno that represents some of the label’s most refined output to date. Intoxicatingly fluid, both Engelhardt and Solique’s impressive musicality shines front and centre; together with their evident love affair for deep, melodic soundscapes. Backboned by a chugging four-four beat, uplifting synth work and exquisite production values, the record’s rich sonic texture is utterly compelling, as the two in-demand artists join forces to deliver a perfectly judged, dancefloor cut that explores a highly nuanced and dynamic sound palate.
Speaking about the single, Tim Engelhardt commented:
“We‘re super excited to present our first collaboration ‘Alive’. We actually worked on many records before this, but this one felt so special right from the start when Solique sent me the initial idea, that we decided to make it the first collaboration track we release. It’s an affirmation to life for us and portrays a beautiful emotion that we really felt we needed to share with you.”
Established in November 2023 by Tim Engelhardt and Dr. Nicolas Pinto, LIFEFORMS’ mission is to provide artists with a dynamic platform for authentic self-expression; not merely as a record label but as an innovative playground for creative freedom. Here, artists will not only craft their own sonic narratives, they will also gain knowledge and access to modern tools that will empower their artistic journeys.
Whilst embracing cutting-edge technology, the imprint remains steadfast in its commitment to ensure that soulful, original music takes centre stage. Seeking to play a pivotal role in the development of artists’ careers, LIFEFORMS provides them with guidance and tools such as AI, blockchain and other inventive technologies to fully explore their artistry in the most forward-thinking way possible.
