≥█ On the long journey of the relatively young artist Forss, one of the
≥█ stops was the Sonar Kollektiv label-office in Berlin in the year 2000.
≥█ His album "Soulhack" is the soundtrack to a very special journey or
≥█ shall we say odyssey. An odyssey which started off with a counterfeit
≥█ interrail ticket thru europe. The only luggage being a laptop and a
≥█ whole lot of songs. Songs that just needed a final finish. Later we
≥█ were to discover that the unfinished ruffness of his work was the
≥█ essence of his unique artistical output. Nowadays it's quite difficult
≥█ to find such musical skills in a 23-year old boy and even more
≥█ difficult to find them combined witha distinct B-Boy feeling. There is
≥█ no need to quote any references here.
≥█
≥█ The digital production style of Forss probably led to even more grey
≥█ hair on the head of our most beloved mastering man Bo Kondren at the
≥█ Calyx mastering studio. All of Forss' productions are very dynamic in
≥█ character. This is due in part to Forss' usage of distorted sounds
≥█ that transmit the purest emotions of their creator, who sampled his
≥█ way thru daily-life and the record-colletions of his friends. His
≥█ laptop is an extension of his own self, a unique unification that
≥█ results in the establishment of something you could call digital soul.
≥█
≥█ Forss defines himself as a "soul-hacker" and his laptop is his tool.
≥█ Slowly but surely we have to understand that he himself can be
≥█ understood a s a work of art.: His net-activities, the way he moves
≥█ thru time and space they all confirm this impression. Music is his
≥█ chosen form expression, one form of many.
