Headphone Activist debuts “Audio Oasis” LP with Sskwan Out Now! [Overview]

Since March 31, Pete Domville, better known as Headphone Activist has been releasing one track every Wednesday. The artist teased these tracks leading up to his debut LP with none other than the legend, Liquid Strangers’ newest downtempo label — Sskwan. The 10-track project will undoubtedly have listeners sinking in an “Audio Oasis” of lo-fi quicksand.

Straight out of Pittsburgh, his hip-hop influence shines heavily through his ambient beats. “The concept for my project was started in my bedroom with a pair of headphones, a laptop, and the internet to build my sample database,” says Headphone Activist. The moniker, Headphone Activist, came from a lyric from a song by the Rhymesayers Records duo; Atmosphere. Being a fan of the hip-hop duo, he resonated with the phrase and adopted the persona — birthing Headphone Activist.

At the end of 2020, Headphone Activist released an incredibly crunchy yet heartfelt, nostalgic, hour-long mix with Sskwan which was just the start of the journey (listen here). Having played at music festivals such as; Ascension (2015), Enchanted Forest (2015), and Get Freaky (2019) he’s been grinding for some time now and it shows. 

“Audio Oasis” debuting on Sskwan only makes perfect sense and we can not wait to see what the future holds for Headphone Activist. For now kick back, turn the lights low and groove through the “Audio Oasis”.
