Initially formed out of a desire to step back from the intensity of peak-time club spaces, the Edinburgh-based music project DRIFT has enjoyed 5 wonderfully relaxed years, during which they've curated some truly memorable listening bar events across the UK. In order to celebrate the special milestone, they've asked 12 producers and artists previously involved with DRIFT in one way or another to contribute something in their own style for a very special compilation album entitled "5 Years of DRIFT". Releasing fully on the 15th March, the release showcases a range of genres from spoken word and ambient, through jazz and neo-soul to experimental club and dreamy, distant jungle. The release will be available in physical format as bespoke, made-to-order lathe cuts with the sleeves featuring prints of the amazing hand-drawn artwork by Edinburgh based artist Ana Geissler and limited run DRIFT t-shirts.

This project showcases some of the very best in new music coming out of DRIFT's hometown of Edinburgh, as well as some contributions from further afield. There's honestly something in here for everyone, and with 100% of the sales going to the artists, any purchases directly support a blossoming music scene! Much love x

Sempra's contribution is a lush vocal jungle cut, showcasing the sound the Bristol producer has worked hard to curate during a prolific last few years which has seen him release chilled-out tracks across the tempo range. Perfect for closing out your sets or for rinsing out at sunset while chilling on a beach, the breaky track should give a taste of what else is to come on the compilation!

Sempra - My Own || DRIFT || Premiere

Edinburgh party series & label DRIFT celebrates 5 years in operation with a very special 12 track compilation.

Initially formed out of a desire to step back from the intensity of peak-time club spaces, the Edinburgh-based music project DRIFT has enjoyed 5 wonderfully relaxed years, during which they've curated some truly memorable listening bar events across the UK. In order to celebrate the special milestone, they've asked 12 producers and artists previously involved with DRIFT in one way or another to contribute something in their own style for a very special compilation album entitled "5 Years of DRIFT". 

Our featured premiere comes from the alter-ego of Shetland-born, Malmo-based producer Bolam, Timo Torben. An artist focusing on captivating, textured sounds as he explores experimental breaks, dreamy soundscapes and organic, downtempo percussion. 

'Where Do We Go From Here' beautifully evolves from revereating ambient textures and spacey synths into wonderfully hypnotic downtempo breakbeat. Showcasing the very best of a range of genres in a single track and highlighting the producer's ability to create psychedelic electronic music of the highest calibre.

Releasing fully on the 15th March, the release showcases a range of genres from spoken word and ambient, through jazz and neo-soul to experimental club and dreamy, distant jungle.

Available to pre-order via Bandcamp.
