Press Info:
Roll Dann makes it a hat trick of releases on Soma with this, his 3rd for the label and first physical release, the Save The Energy EP. The prolific Spanish based Roll Dann once again treats us to his signature, deep and rolling techno sound that has seen him becoming a firm favourite of many a DJ throughout the scene.

Title track Save the Energy breathes life into this latest EP as a solid pace is set from the start with this deep, rolling and driving opener. Things intensify even more as the thundering percussive workout of Mago pushes ever forward. Taking a more deep and hypnotic turn, Easy Places rolls out with looped out synths and space age pads. Closing out the EP, Crash Birth takes things back up a notch. Driving drums and hypnotic synths create the backbone, constantly mutating and evolving as the track builds to a powerful conclusion.

Press Info:
Berlin based Lars Huismann makes an incredible debut on Soma with the Infinite Dimension EP. Lars has slowly but surely built his name in the Techno scene with a steady stream of release all marked with his signature hard hitting, futuristic sound. This 3 track release continues Lars’ run of form with devastating results.

Among The Blinds opens the EP with Lars not holding back as he hits the ground running at a furious pace. Syncopated synths power the rhythmic elements as his excellent drum programming and use of FX drive home the opening, thunderous track. Lars continues to up the tempo with Mercury once again displays great prowess with his excellently constructed rhythms that continually evolve through out the track. Pandora closes Lars’ debut EP on much the same intensity as the previous tracks. His powerful synth work takes control here as pulsing drum workouts help to really drive the track right onto the dance floor.

‘Dust’ by SK_Eleven founder Setaoc Mass brings melodic flare with enveloping synths above dark rumbling lows, before SLV’s injects some energy into ‘Talking With The Shadows’ with his own Rave Mix.

incorporating moody tones and slow flowing arps with dark cavernous reverb. Krill and Mord artist Stanislav Tolkachev then offers a steady beat with euphoric chimes and vinyl hiss for his stripped back ‘First Day In The City’, preceding Dutch artist Conforce’s ‘Forest Voices’ which balances unearthly sound design and a steppy drum pattern.

Press Info:
Berlin’s SLV returns to Soma this February to present a full-length ambient album entitled ‘Berlin Portrait In Music’.

Stemming from the heart of East Berlin, German producer SLV has picked up a number of influences on his musical journey whilst living amongst electronic music culture from an early age. Having steadily built a reputation for himself for diving into the realms of melancholic sound design, reflected in previous releases on Ilario Alicante’s Virgo label and Soma, his ‘Berlin Portrait In Music’ sees him add to his long list of Soma contributions following the recent standout ‘Athenæum 101’ LP from label bosses Slam themselves.

‘First Day In The City’ sets the tone right from the off with hypnotizing keys, emotive atmospherics and alleviating sound design, whilst ‘Sky’ follows suit as it balances drones with otherworldly soundscapes. ‘This Cold Night’ and ‘Forest Voices’ delightfully maintain the stirring ambience throughout as tranquilizing vibrations take the focus, before ‘Mirage’ and ‘Dust’ deliver heartwarming oscillations layered with captivating sonics.

Dark but uplifting moods are later conveyed within ‘Night Stars’ and ‘January 31’, journeying through arousing aesthetics from start to finish. ‘Talking With Shadows’ then harmonises between deep, syncopated drums and low strung synth stabs until eloquent chords balanced and angelic pads together display a poignant aura in ‘Melancholy Dreams’. ‘Away’ then elegantly rounds things off with tender strings, alluring melodies and moving elements.

Artefakt
(Cleric Remix)

Press Info:
Berlin based SLV makes a welcome return to Soma with his latest release, Gestern und Heute EP. Having gradually built himself to be one of the most exciting prospect on the Soma roster, SLV continues to impressive with his dark yet emotive sound. This release also feature a spectacular remix form rising UK Techno act Cleric.

The melancholic Artefact opens the EP with its wonderfully crafted syncopated beats and cold, haunting synth work. Kreuzwege has SLV back on four to the floor territory and working a real dance floor burning as tweeked out leads are bolstered by typical powerful drum work from SLV. Jets keeps things moving at a fast pace yet brings a more emotive side. Intense percussive workouts drive the tracks with fleeting pads taking the tone of the tracks to other heights. Cleric takes on Artefact are delivers a suitably punchy and furious rework yet still retains the melancholy of the original.

Another unique release has SLV standing out from this crowd with his distinctive sound.
