CCA x Radioclube Agramonte - Croatian Amor, Frederik Valentin

CROATIAN AMOR

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.

FREDERIK VALENTIN

Frederik Valentin has been a driving force of Scandinavia's musical avant-garde for nearly two decades, amassing a formidable catalogue of solo and collaborative albums alongside luminaries such as Loke Rahbek, Hannes Norrvide and Jonatan Leandoer96.

In his various guises, Valentin has spent a lifetime in pursuit of "ROCK N ROLL". This journey finally leads him home, where he finds freedom and a youthful resistance in the embrace of his family at the heights of his startling career.

Absorbing elements from across his artistic milieu, ROCK N ROLL WILL NEVER DIE is a suite of new works that explore the tension between life's constant change and its hopeful continuity.
