SOLA UNLEASHES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED EP ON RIOT DUBS FEATURING GENERAL LEVY, SKITTLES, CONRAD SUBS, JASMINE KNIGHT & SAMMIE HALL

Riot Dubs is set to ignite the scene once again with a powerhouse release from UK bass music heavyweight Sola. Featuring an all-star lineup of vocalists and producers, this explosive EP delivers a fusion of deep basslines, razor-sharp beats, and high-energy collaborations that push the boundaries of underground music.

Sola is a Drum & Bass trio composed of James, Robbie, and Paul. They have releases on Eatbrain, Jungle Cakes, Viper, Ram, Suburban Base, Dance Concept as well as their own imprint Grand Theft Audio. Their 'Tell 'Em' EP has been several years in the making, with Sola forging and reforging the tunes that would end up on this four-track release. Across these tracks, they lay out their bold vision of drum & bass, collaborating with top-tier artists General Levy, Skittles, Conrad Subs, Jasmine Knight, and Sammie Hall. The result is an EP that refuses to stay within any paradigm, instead opting for a timeless and unique sound.

The A-side and titular track 'Tell 'Em', a collaboration with the king of Jungle MCs, General Levy, sees Levy spitting deep bars over a reggae-influenced halftime intro about making a stand in troubled times-an increasingly relevant message. There is a DJ-Friendly Intro version (also included in this mailout) without the halftime triplet drums, to make it easier to mix.

Following this, 'Owed An Apology', a collaboration with Skittles, embodies a real Manchester sound, making it the most minimal and industrial track on the EP. Skittles' powerful flow erupts over a bouncy beat and edgy basslines, while atmospheric FX keep the vibes sky high.

For any fans of modern jungle, Conrad Subs needs no introduction. A follow-up to their previous collaboration, 'Squeeze' on Nuusic, 'Smash Up' has been destroying dancefloors worldwide for years. A true crowd pleaser, the funky hip-hop intro transitions into a roof-melting bassline with hard syncopated beats, which then shifts to straight percussion sections with bouncy bass riffs, creating a captivating call-and-response pattern.

Lastly, Sola showcases their deeper side with 'Free', highlighting both their musicality and the insane vocal talent of two of the most sought-after singers in the game right now, Jasmine Knight and Sammie Hall. Deep, powerful sub-basses and robust percussion anchor the melodic content and drive the track forward. Structurally, it's unhurried, taking the listener on a meandering journey through lush soundscapes.

With deep roots in UK bass culture and a relentless drive for innovation, Sola continues to make waves, and this EP is no exception. Expect full-throttle energy, cutting-edge production, and tracks that will dominate clubs and airwaves alike.

This is evident in the 2 tracks that follow, including 'Natural Selection' which is a headfirst dive into a traditional dark-jungle track, followed by fast-paced 'Temple Run' track which keeps things rolling. As a finale, the bonus 3rd track on this EP, 'Red Stripe' feat. Sinistarr guides us to the fringes via footwork/juke flavor where you'll find a splash of itchy funk, rhythm, and cleverly placed drum edits.
