Nervous Horizon is thrilled to welcome to the roster, Washington D.C producer and DJ, Soso Tharpa with a new EP entitled ‘Fistful of Shells’.

Drawing from bass, techno, IDM, as well as consciously letting his igbo cultural imprint flow and sonically drive this diverse composition, the EP gravitates between chaos and balance, thunderous energetic burst and vulnerable melodic openings, echoing the producer’s life journey, artistic growth and ever changing musical flair.

The textured deconstructed layers of fluid percussive motives in ‘Cyclops’ open the EP with a mellow hypnotic flow. ‘Pufferfish’, a syncopated bouncy broken jam, follows leading to the dance-floor-ready drum and bass influenced ‘Fist Full of Shells’. Moving back to a darker, more percussive groove, Knish and Sabado Gigante, a hybrid latin-afro-house club tool with acid hints and a catchy lead synth, are charged with a both grounding and electrifying dark West African energy that effectively sets the left field club tone of the EP. Slowing down the rhythm for the closing track, Tkapoi, Soso Tharpa creates an imaginary sonic route between the first and last track through which he can unfold, observe and rethink new parts of himself to discover a new foregrounding centre.
