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.”

1tbsp also recently announced his North American “bubble tour” (tickets here), and today he’s announcing Soltera will be joining him on the road as the main support, alongside signing her next project to his very own indie label, dottidot
