ABSORBED


Absorb is an independent record label from Australia based on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. Since its inception in 2020, the label has sought to showcase and blur the boundaries between the electronic and acoustic music being made within its orbit. ABSORBED, its highly regarded annual festival takes such interests to their extreme, with a 37-hour program that spans upended concert music, dizzying performances and left-field dance. The label also hosts a bimestrial webradio program on LYL Radio.      

Absorb is continuously evolving but will always prioritise experimental sound, uncharted collaboration and “wait-for-it” listening.
