Berlin-based dance producer Ellen Allien will be touring extensively this spring in support of two releases on the BPitch Control label: her Boogbytes mix, released March 31, and her forthcoming fourth studio effort, SOOL, set for a May 27 release date.
Curious about what the album’s title means, and what it might sound like? Allow the woman to elucidate:
“SOOL is everything, everyone and none - SOOL is a phantasm, a creation, which reflects the album's atmosphere, and also my person. I am me; but I am also what you made me for, what you do with me and what I do with you.”
Allien has also designed a SOOL fashion line. Judging by the quote above, it may very well be the ideal mix of Eva Hesse and Playmobil house devotees have craved for so long.
