Galatean Sequence

From @ssssofiiiii 's new EP "I want this feeling to last forever"

Stream & download: push.fm/fl/iwtftlfep

Emerging artist sofii, also known as Sophie Koella, announces her deeply personal debut EP I want this feeling to last forever, a self-produced meditation of 4 songs on emotion, memory, and the echoes of the unlived. Born from the necessity to process, the project weaves classical elegance, electronic textures, and lyrical repetition into a trance-like exploration of nostalgia: past, present and future.

Born in New Orleans to a French guitarist (who used to play with Bob Dylan) and an American mother, sofii’s life has been scored by contrasts: ballet and classic music discipline, jazz’s improvisation, and the restless energy of cities like NYC and Paris where she cut her teeth in its underground scene. After years modelling and djing, she stepped into music direction for Courrèges alongside Erwan Sene before claiming her voice as a solo producer. In 2024 she co-founded the Paris collective and event series More Hard Feelings alongside Emma DJ, Julia Lemaire, and Matière Noire inviting the likes of Skrillex, Varg2TM, Safety Trance and Bill Kouligas.

The EP’s lead single and title track is released with the album announcement with a music video. She elaborates:’Iwtftlf’ is a song about nostalgia for something we don’t yet know or have lived—also known as anemoia. It’s about a moment in time that stands perfectly still, a fraction of a second we wish would never end. This stillness, this calm before the storm, is at the heart of the track. It portrays a story suspended between the lived and the unlived, a memory that doesn’t belong to us yet aches like it’s already gone.

As for the rest of the EP, “Cry for Me” (reimagined with Greek producer Raed Raees) layers vocals like a cleansing tide, dissolving into a piano finale that nods to Sofii’s classical roots. The mantra “say it over” loops, invoking meditation’s rhythmic solace. “Remember“, penned in Paris, twists a crisis-born text message into pulsing synths and the EP’s only percussive heartbeat. And “Pocket Dial” samples a 3-minute voicemail from sofii’s grandmother—an accidental, aching relic of connection—set to wordless strings and synth.

Premiere : music lovers anonymous @emellay - I Can Feel You Through the Screen [katharsis] @katharsislabel

“Emellay” is the second EP released by Upstate NY-based artist music lovers anonymous (MLA). The project can be seen as a sort of sequel to his first EP, “Wherever Chance Leads Me, I Will Go As A Friend,” released on formforum earlier this year. There are familiar sounds: humble field recordings, string-like textures, with an increased emphasis on controlled discord. Samples from important periods in his life are re-contextualized into something individualized: an interpretive dance between the weight of life and the bliss of insignificance. A pseudo-self titled project, “Emellay” functions as an unfinished self-portrait. Or maybe rather, a blind contour. These tracks were created without an end—with closed eyes—like a story being told as it is written...a story taking place in a bedroom, at a laptop, with a MIDI controller. It is an ode to an undeveloped identity, leaving melodic artifacts in its wake.

This is music for headphones.
