Elina Shorokhova aka SOELA (@soelaela) is a multi-talented artist hailing from southern Russia who now calls Berlin her home. It is there where she continues to build her presence in the community through her live and DJ sets alongside documenting the local scene and artists through her lens as a photographer.

LILY EP may be 4 tracks but as a collected whole, sounds and feels like an album when heard from beginning to end. The title track emits her talent as a pianist by setting a tone of gracefulness that is carried throughout the EP – broken beats float in and out of dub drenched ambience that flows with cascading vocals. CLOSE YOUR EYES echos a spirit of Detroit House with refreshing new intensities. Again, her vocals caress the track but as an incredibly catchy hook. WHITE BECOMES BLACK shows her own interpretation of dub techno and combines that into a classic house beat. I HAVE A DREAM sounds like she bridges all of the previous track elements into a single whole which makes this tune the perfect closing track for any DJ set and of this release. A steady low-end groove keeps the ricocheting snares and somber synths cruising to an up-tempo rhythm.

Originaire de France et basée à Avignon, Kat collectionne les vinyles depuis 5 ans.
Début 2023, soutenue par sa famille et ses amis, elle décide de développer progressivement son goût pour le mixage, ce qui se traduit par un style fluide et hypnotique teinté de vibrations très éclectiques allant du trip hop au downtempo en passant par la house et des sonorités plus minimalistes.
Ses influences proviennent d'artistes tels que Margaret Dygas, Ricardo Villalobos, Bluetrain aka Steve O'Sullivan, Soela , Roger Gerressen et bien d'autres...
En mars 2024, elle enregistre son premier podcast sur la plateforme roumaine "Feeder" à l'occasion de la Journée internationale de la femme. 
Elle a ensuite enregistré un podcast avec Soundscape Mix Series à Berlin.
Ses Morning Podcasts sont disponibles sur son Soundcloud, où l'on peut vraiment entendre son univers intime. Et le numéro 4 arrive très bientôt....
