1tbsp – Soulseek (feat. Soltera)

Australian dj/producer 1tbsp fuses techno, dance, grunge, and punk on new single ‘Soulseek’, featuring Colombian-American artist Soltera, and offering the first glimpse of his forthcoming album.

Written across Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Sydney, ‘Soulseek’ unfolds in two distinct pulses: a tense, intimate first half that explodes into bubbly, left-field prog-tech chaos, inspired by underground parties and warehouse raves. Soltera’s punk-infused, synth-driven vocals meet 1tbsp’s genre-bending club sensibility, crafting a track that’s unpredictable, emotionally charged, and irresistibly kinetic.

1tbsp explains; “I made the instrumental on a flight from Mexico City to Los Angeles ahead of a recording night with Soltera. We opened it up in her garage studio and had the first half down in an hour. Back in Australia, I knew the second half needed to move somewhere else. Since moving to Sydney, I’ve been inspired by underground community parties and this bubbly, left-field prog-tech sound—perfect for the bush or a warehouse. I wanted to bring that feeling into the end of the track, pairing it unexpectedly with the first half. For me, ‘Soulseek’ feels like a cleanse or a rebirth, and it gives a glimpse into this multi-genre album I’ve been making.”

Soltera reflects, “‘Soulseek’ is about becoming one, merging, embodying masculine and feminine.”
