The latest edition of absolutely on music documented a special moment in Torture the Artist history. Ahead of the club night at Haus73, the stream brought together Beet WorldWide, Bubamara, G-L’amour, and Holger Breuer for a session rooted in underground energy, groove, and raw club functionality. Most notably, the evening featured the first-ever live set in Torture the Artist history, adding a new dimension to the series and setting the tone for a memorable night from the very beginning.
Opening the stream, Amsterdam-based Beet WorldWide of the Miami Beat$ ’93 collective delivered the first live set ever hosted within the Torture the Artist universe. Built entirely around his own productions and edits, the performance explored a raw Hip-House direction heavily infused with old-school HipHop samples, punchy drum programming, and stripped-back club energy. The live aspect gave the set an organic and tactile feel throughout, balancing spontaneity with tightly controlled groove structures. A superior atmosphere from start to finish – raw, playful, and deeply rooted in underground dancefloor culture.
Bubamara followed with a deep and progressive-leaning selection built around hypnotic grooves and flowing House rhythms. Her set unfolded patiently, combining atmospheric layers with warm low-end movement and subtle tension throughout. Blending housey elements with hypnotic energy, she created an immersive and steadily evolving journey.
Returning after his appearance in December, G-L’amour brought a more forward-driven and club-focused energy to the stream. His selection merged House grooves with minimal and progressive influences, creating a tightly locked flow designed for the dancefloor. Sharp transitions and reduced textures kept the momentum high while maintaining a refined underground feel throughout.
Closing the session, Holger Breuer combined minimal aesthetics with his signature groove-focused and techy approach. Carefully layered rhythms and punchy selections gradually elevated the intensity while remaining deeply rooted in flow and atmosphere. His set tied the evening together with clarity, movement, and a strong sense of direction – a fitting conclusion to a landmark edition of absolutely on music.
Together, the four artists shaped a stream that moved seamlessly from raw Hip-House experimentation to hypnotic grooves and peak-time club energy. Another edition of absolutely on music that captured the spirit of underground culture through individuality, flow, and shared dancefloor sensibility.
