Astray - Out Now On Dutty Audio

Sola - Fidget
RAM.lnk.to/TheEnd-FidgetPR
___

A trio composed of producers who’ve been rising through the ranks in their own right, Sola have already made their mark on ProgRAM following a plethora of releases on RAM Records sister-label. However now they come under its banner once again for their brand-new single, and this time it’s not part of a compilation series, the type which ProgRAM are renowned for releasing. ‘The End’ ft. T Man and ‘Fidget’ set the stage for Sola’s renewed relationship with ProgRAM and provide two more ground-shattering and fresh sounding tracks from the outfit.

Whilst T Man growls over the thumping build up offered by ‘The End’, ‘Fidget’ and its slicing drum work cuts through its core alongside pumping bass switches. So once again, it’s time to get with the ProgRAM. Helping artists with their onward march into continually evolving careers.

Next up from Sofa Sound is the forthcoming collaborations from drum & bass heavyweights DLR, Break, Randall and Ulterior Motive, a collective who’ve all helped to pioneer the genre whilst staying inherently underground. Whilst Break and Randall have laid its foundations, producers like DLR and Ulterior Motive have shaped the more contemporary scene, although both tracks signify the colossal engineering standards of each featuring artist. The established names also bring their weight to Sofa Sound’s back catalogue, which has expanded since its creation by DLR in 2017. 

DLR, Break and Randall come together for lead track ‘Song & Dance’, an old-school reminiscent roller with snipped up, mc-lead vocal samples and jazzy instrumentals. The energy between all three artists is instantly recognisable, with Randall’s old-school approach shining through each layer. On top of strung guitar notes and a hook which nods to its namesake, ‘Song & Dance’ blends a mixture of styles to present a versatile addition to Sofa Sound.

Next comes ‘Modules’, featuring a combination of sonics recorded through Ulterior Motive’s modular set up. The ruminating drums and basses brought from the collections of their collaborators deliver its funkier elements, with the bassline fluctuating between notes and twisting its way through a melodic undertow. Alongside its unusual structure, the track’s organic approach and frequent switches grab its listener unaware. Another imperative release on Sofa Sound, the imprint has shown its commitment to artists from across the spectrum, through both its digital releases and physical discography additions.

Since its first release, DLR’s Sofa Sound has firmly solidified itself, proving that they’re set to continue the growth of their spearheading roster. Whether it’s the artists who’ve previously collaborated with DLR on other, more-longstanding independents, or the producers who DLR has personally picked from the Sofa Sound demos box, there’s already been a high calibre of tracks unleashed on the imprint. And with their next digital single in the pipeline, their growth remains unstoppable, proving that their initial groundbreaking commitment is still being adhered to. 
Forthcoming from Sofa Sound is the brand new release from Dub Head; inherently underground, the Ukrainian based producer has already made his mark on imprints like Ant TC1’s Dispatch Recordings. ‘Meltdown’ and ‘Space Worm’ are technically brilliant and prove why Dub Head is such a coveted addition to the likes of Sofa Sound and Dispatch Recordings. The A-side ‘Meltdown’ is a heavily percussive roller, with clanking drums, tinkering hi-hats and floating note sequences which add to the lulling atmospherics of its introduction. But when the record finally breaks, cold pads and Dub Head’s signature funky bassline takes you to a much lower frequency. Minimalist yet throbbing with power, Dub Head shows that you don’t need to bow to commercial viability to make a resounding impact. 
On the reverse, you’re taken into ‘Space Worm’. Dub Head promises to continue his assault, providing another record which is effortless in its complexity whilst wrapping the listener around its thumping bassline. Hollowed snares and crackling instrumentals interfere with the composition like static, as the record slowly begins to unfold segment by segment. Its more distorted elements add a jutting layer, providing a siren like-feel on top of its heavy breakdown, providing another undeniably weighty release from Sofa Sound.

‘CTS’ and ‘Condensed’ mark the fourth release from Sofa Sound’s digital-only collection since its creation in 2017. Having already released on imprints such as Samurai Music, Horizons Music, Dispatch Recordings and Gradient Audio, Mateba’s step towards the imprint sees him being added to another inherently underground, yet groundbreaking label. Joining the likes of Break, Randall, Hydro, War, Script and DLR himself within Sofa Sound’s back catalogue, it makes sense that he’d come under their radar. Having been featured in their sets globally, with Sofa Sound’s help fans are about to put a face to the music. And that’s just one more factor into their success, which has only exploded since their first release.

Sofa Sound Bristol returns with a double A-side collaborative single after the runaway success of the label's debut various artists compilation 'Sofa King Sick'. This time label boss DLR teams up with two huge talents in Abis and Signal. Abis is no stranger to drum n bass having been one half of the very successful act June Miller and Signal has cemented himself as one the most exciting artists to emerge in recent years.

The fourth single on Sofa Sound once again shows the label's versatility and is another step in label going from strength to strength.

We welcome SD back to Dispatch with the “Toni Solidi EP”. The Italian maestro brings us 4 tracks of “solid tones” – the translation of which forms the title of the EP. 

‘Hatchet’ takes its name from Lock Stock’s ‘Hatchet Harry’, the tune is built from industrial foley samples and a looped voice track. Tight, sharp cuts and psychotic mumbling fitting perfectly with the character. 

The release continues this theme with ‘Mastadon’ a dark percussive stomper, ‘Wires’ packed with raw, nervous energy, and ‘Don’t You’ contrasting the rough, funk led beats with warm distortion and a liquid edge.

1. "Hatchet" 
2. "Mastodon" 
3. "Wires" 
4. "Don't You"
