Tom Ellis - For Five (Homero Espinosa Live Acid Dub Mix)

Soulstatejazz, under the leadership of the multi-talented Tom Ellis, unveils their latest auditory adventure, “SOL 3”, released on Chapelle XIV. This double LP vinyl is a symphonic journey, demonstrating a matured finesse in blending jazz, electronic, and house music. Recorded in the creative hubs of Mark Hand’s studio in Hartlepool and the Malt Barn studio in Wales, “SOL 3” is an embodiment of musical innovation and collaborative spirit.

Tom Ellis, showcasing his virtuosic skills, handles drums, percussion, bass, guitar, piano, and synths, setting a dynamic foundation for the album. Mark Hand’s mastery of the Fender Rhodes and synths adds a melodic depth, complemented by Michiel Renger’s soulful tenor sax. Dave Elson’s contributions with electronic percussion and effects, coupled with Vicky Flint’s mesmerizing trumpet and flute, create a rich, multi-layered soundscape. The inclusion of Bugu Pala and Charles Morgan’s evocative vocals further enriches the album’s diverse palette.

“SOL 3” stands out as an exploration of rhythm, melody, and improvisation. It is an album where each track seamlessly transitions into the next, creating a continuous musical narrative that is both engaging and transformative. The ensemble’s ability to fuse diverse elements into a cohesive sound is remarkable, making “SOL 3” a testament to their creative evolution and a landmark in contemporary jazz and electronic music.

Released by Chapelle XIV Music and distributed by Yoyaku Distribution, “SOL 3” is not just an album; it’s an experience. It’s a vibrant, eclectic mix that is poised to become one of the standout releases of the year. This album is a must-have for aficionados of jazz, house, and electronic music, encapsulating the essence of live, improvisational brilliance.

Tom Ellis - Noods Radio Freerotation Takeover (Alone Together LP mixed)

Recorded live at the SMA festival closing party

tomELLIS @ Guatemala City 2013

A core member and resident of the Freerotation Festival, Tom Ellis has been releasing funk & jazz inspired house & techno since 2003, when he launched Trimsound, his first label, which was co-run with Leif. 

His vast discography includes over 40 EPs and 7 albums that pop up on some of the world's most respected underground labels. His early appearances on Mindtours and Trimsound led to worldwide recognition and further releases and remixes for Archipel, Good Ratio Music, Classic, Philpot, Moon Harbour, Leap, Telegraph, Logistic, Black Key Records, Eye4Eye, Floppy Funk, Morris Audio,  Flumo, Supremus Records, Hartchef Discos, Minibar, Highgrade, Klamauk, and Som Bom (the electronic spin-off label run by fellow Welsh men, Super Furry Animals) and many, many more.

His music is regularly picked up and played by the likes of Carl Cox, Magda, Zip, Lauren Lavern (BBC 6 music),  Craig Richards, Maya Jane Coles and many others.

Tom's DJ & Live sets, which usually consist entirely of his own material (often unreleased and previously un-heard), have taken him across the globe with gigs as far afield as Moscow, Tokyo, Montreal, Guatemala, and Honduras, as well as regular appearances across Europe. 

Forever steering into the weirder side of things, he tries to anchor himself with his experience as a self-taught musician. Playing drums, bass, keys and guitar from an early age has given him a good foundation from which to understand and explore electronic music with the groove, soul and funk of a real musician.

2016 has seen the launch of his new solo label, In Modo Di, with the first record landing high in the bestseller charts, and the launch of his new monthly radio show on KMAH radio, The Taunton Loft Sessions.

Currently based in the Midlands, UK, available for DJ sets of his own productions.
