MORE ABOUT THE MUSIC
Fresh off the release of their second album, ‘Surface Tension,’ Audiojack are entering what might be called the primary phase of their career. This, of course, is not to diminish the solid reputation they have built over the last fifteen years as DJs, producers, remixers, and label curators with original releases on labels like Crosstown Rebels, 2020Vision, and Hot Creations, remixes on labels including Moon Harbour, B-Pitch Control and Diynamic, and artists like Underworld, Groove Armada and Hot Since 82 who have enlisted their talents for remixes.
Starting on Ralph Lawson’s 2020Vision recordings in 2006, the label in which they released their debut album ‘Radio’ and several bestselling EPs including ‘Get Serious’ and ‘No Equal Sides,’ in 2016 they signed to Jamie Jones’ infamous Hot Creations label with the heavily played ‘Vibrate’ EP and subsequently joined up with Damian Lazarus and his Crosstown Rebels crew – starting with ‘Turya’ which brings the words of a guided meditation into a club setting, then ‘Implications,’ one of many of their collaborations with Kevin Knapp on vocals, followed by ‘Reverie’ featuring the voice of Osho which became one of the bestselling tracks of 2018, cementing their position as Crosstown Rebels bestselling artist in recent years. It was, therefore, a natural decision to release their sophomore album ‘Surface Tension’ on the imprint in 2021.
Running their own dancefloor-focused label Gruuv since 2010 has provided an alternative home for their original music. EPs such as ‘Stay Glued’ and ‘These Days’, plus their remake of Jaydee’s classic ‘Plastic Dreams,’ were received with critical acclaim. The label has garnered a reputation for nurturing the best talent, both new and old, counting Emanuel Satie, David Mayer, Marc Romboy, Stimming, Joyce Muniz, Whitesquare, and Gorge amongst its catalog.
Audiojack’s passion for DJing has always driven their desire to produce music from day one. With over two decades behind the decks, they craft their sets with energy and panache. Accolades include a nomination in DJ Mag’s Best of British awards and mixing the legendary Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1. Over the last fifteen years, they’ve toured in hundreds of cities in over sixty countries. Remaining faithful to their beliefs and staying relevant without being contrived is at the core of Audiojack’s success. The duo never rests on their laurels, reinventing themselves whenever necessary, always organic. In today’s fast-paced, ever-growing electronic music world, it’s not always easy to keep a cool head and maintain credibility and integrity. Audiojack stands proud as an example of doing things the right way.

Soft Option (n):
1. in a number of choices, the one considered to be easy or the easiest to do, involving the least difficulty or exertion.
Soft Option showcases the best in Seattle's musical talent and local flavor, and for De La Creme, it's the right way to do things. We look forward to hosting you.

SOFT OPTION POLICY:
Soft Option is a safe loving space for people from all walks of life to connect, participate, and express themselves as part of the Seattle creative community. We strive to cultivate and maintain this standard of mutually respectful behavior, so please be mindful of staff, security, bartenders, artists, and other attendees at all times.
Those who exhibit racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, ageist, and/or physically/sexually/verbally aggressive behavior will potentially be bounced for the night, barred from future events, and/or face legal repercussions. If you find yourself the target of any of these aggressive behaviors, please alert event staff/security immediately.
Soft Option is a space for all of us to dance, love, and live to our fullest extent. Come equipped with respect and honor for creative self-expression in others so that we may all be more ourselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CONSENT, DANCING, PERSONAL SPACE, and BOUNDARIES:
There is zero tolerance for harassing, unwanted touches, gropes, grabs, and repeated unwanted approaches. This is inappropriate behavior here - and anywhere. If you behave in this manner, you will be kicked out.
If you are being harassed, PLEASE TELL SECURITY. They are here for you, and will support you.
How do I know if it's consensual?
1) Anything other than "yes" means "no."
2) Consent is never coerced or forced.
3) Consent is negotiated through each interaction.
4) Incoherent people cannot give consent.
DLC/Soft Option would not be possible without the continued support from our local house music community, we are deeply grateful!!
