The Soul's Code - Oath

BREAKS

Originally from Montreal, Jason Hersco quickly evolved from guitarist to producer and maestro of his college's house parties in Toronto. With a refined taste for soul samples and trip-hop atmospheres, this Canadian composer began producing in earnest in 2020, seeing his career take off with a prestigious featuring of Travis Emmons in 2022. His new single with Egoplanet, steeped in Deep House and Jazz House, promises to transport you to celestial spheres thanks to its exquisite female vocal sample.

SofaTalk's deliciously eclectic music presents as a patchwork of styles carefully pieced together to produce a sound that, whilst tricky to define, ultimately is a true joy to experience.

His unique take on electronica pulls influence from across the global underground, his homeland of Italy, the nu-jazz movement, and beyond. Charged by boundless energy, the one-man producer and artistic powerhouse splits his time between managing his label Cognitiva Records, overseeing the artistic direction of event-brand Cognitiva All-Star, and hosting his monthly radio show Soundscapes on Universal Rhythms Radio. Any time left is spent toiling away in his Rome-based studio, working on remixes collaborations, and continuing to refine his far-out signature styling.

An alchemist of beats, SofaTalk's unconventional take on electronic music has been featured on international labels such as Banoffee Pies Records, Yam, Movement, Tusk Wax, Roots Underground, Broken District, Boogie Café, and Oath. Whilst household names such as Fred P, Bradley Zero, Byron The Aquarius, Lefto, Carista, Seb Wildblood, Auntie Flo, AliA, DTM Funk and Paula Tape have all supported his past work.

On February 28th, SofaTalk debuts on Oath to release a new 8-track album titled, 'The Soul's Code' featuring the production talents of fellow alt-house maestros, Veezo and Zopelar. Three teaser singles can be expected on the 31st Jan, 15th and 22nfd February. By drawing on what seems like an infinite stockpile of genres, Italy's SofaTalk plots an idiosyncratic path for fans on his sophomore album project. Opening track 'Dub Lush' feat. Veezo is oozing with charm and character. Steadily unfurling over a mishmash of strung-out low-end frequencies into a whimsical dub-soul brew of peculiar chord arrangements, snatches of saxophone and sweeping overtones to make for a glorious slice of neo-electronica that sets a defining precedent of originality early.

'The Truth' released as the first single on the 31st of January, sees him employ a gentle thud and kick combo that subtlety loops around a tense, claustrophobic melody. Lifted in parts by a raspy, soulful vocal that nonchalantly carves through the mid-section with juxtaposing intent.

The already haywire nature of The Soul's Code becomes even more erratic as SofaTalk blurs the paradigms of house, funk and broken beat to produce the beautifully bewildering 'Paradiddle' - making for a stuttering, nervous melody that somehow manages to work in a series of jaunty 8-bit videogame effects over a melancholic and fragmented sound design.

As the lo-fi spirit of 'Complex Journey' distills the giddy energy of SofaTalk's second album we find ourselves at the album's halfway house with a beat that plateaus amidst a tie-dye of snappy sound effects and easy-going bongo percussion. Released as the third single on the 22nd February, the jazz-house fusion that fuels each measure of 'Around' underscores SofaTalk's penchant for experimenting to present a beat loaded with jazz-fills, over-mellow percussion and chopped female vocals.

Pinned as the second single release on the 15th February, 'Out of Nowhere' feat. Zopelar kicks off by way of a Latin-like drum loop, tambourine and arching pad work. The beat then corkscrews through a series of dramatic flanged effects, squelchy synth and bosa nova like sonics whilst encompassed by a fidgety house melody. The appropriately named 'Drum Circles' features a medley of deep, percussive elements that assemble like building blocks snapping together one by one creating the foundation for the track before the inclusion of a wobbling bassline takes hold.

The last stop on SofaTalk's wavey album journey comes in the shape of 'Magpie Rules' which epitomises the dream-like essence of the LP with its break-beat core, surreal overtones and mind-bending melodic-structures.

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-sofatalk-drum-circle

Turkish record label Oath prepare to release their next cosmic dispatch from Rome-based groove scientist SofaTalk. Our pick from the release, ‘Drum Circle’, plunges headfirst into percussive psychedelia, SofaTalk’s drum programming twisting and turning like a Möbius strip of South London-bred syncopation and Mediterranean heatwave. A kinetic lattice of space-dusted samples and bass arpeggios locks into orbit, while spectral vocal echoes ripple through the mix like ghosts of future-disco utopias. A club track for the heads, feet, and spirit alike.
