Our neighboring internet radio station HydeFM co-presents Croatian Amor, the solo alias of Loke Rahbek recording on Copenhagen-based label Posh Isolation. Having performed at Berlin Atonal, Rewire, Mutek Mexico, Berghain, and many others, Croatian Amor brings a live ambient electronic set to The Lab. HydeFM DJs and artists open the evening.

Croatian Amor is the solo alias of Loke Rahbek. Croatian Amor realises a distinct and brilliant intimacy about the bracing pace and chronicles of the contemporary world. Hailing from Copenhagen, Rahbek operates the label Posh Isolation, a place of incubation for many artists from across Scandinavian experimental music, including many of his own collaborators. As Croatian Amor, Rahbek's most crucial and imaginative account is laid bare.

Croatian Amor composes with pop artefacts of the circuits that interlace our lives. Sometimes speaking in loneliness, though often telling of trysts, Croatian Amor presents a longing for indeterminate sensation. Employing a medley of diffuse electronic music traditions, fantastical synthetic worlds are evoked to make this world just a little more habitable.

His most recent works include the solo albums “Remember Rainbow Bridge” from 2022 and “A Part of You in Everything” from 2023 and a continuous flow of releases with longtime collaborators Scandinavian Star & Frederik Valentin.

Croatian Amor has performed at festivals, venues and clubs such as, Berlin Atonal, Rewire, Mutek Mexico, Ephemera Festival, Roskilde, Click, Sydney Opera House, Berghain, Wide Awake Festival, Copenhagen Contemporary.
