Invadhertz - Cold Shoulder feat. tominthechamber
Marking their debut release on the label, we proudly welcome Invadhertz to the fold! The Italian production pairing consisting of Francesco Malvaso and Alessandro D'addario Fernandez have been releasing as a duo for just over a decade, deftly showcasing their penchant for techy rollers. Their latest offering showcases their ability to chip away at the edges and provide something measured and emotive.
Title track ‘Cold Shoulder’ features the unmistakable vocal flavours of tominthechamber, a vocalist who shows absolutely no signs of slowing down right now. His emotive, autotuned vocal chorus is juxtaposed with a more laidback verse delivery and flow, culminating in a defiant mood and a gloriously rolling track complete with wobbling bass and sultry pads.
Landing in all good stores on Friday 8th March.
Askel & Elere - Jola Dub VIP - OUT NOW
Juho Kavasto and Sainey Gibba are back to remind you of their production prowess, with their first slice of new music since 2022! Having taken a bit of a welcome break from production after the release of their debut album ‘Simulations’ back in 2021, the pair return with a re-energised approach and a recognisable, yet pleasing sound palate to paint the aural canvas of 2024 anew.
Reworking ‘Jola Dub’ taken from their aforementioned debut LP ‘Simulations’ - the VIP brings back the Gambian tribal vibes once again but this time with a more familiar, DJ friendly drum pattern. Big, chunky bass textures meet shimmering synths in an energetic collision ready to tear up your local discotheque.
Come and partake in this re-imagining of the Gambian inspired original, not to be missed, available in all good stores from Friday the 23rd of February.
Elere - Kevo - Out now!
Sainey Gibba, better known as one half of fantastical Finnish duo Askel & Elere, returns to Soulvent with his debut solo release on the label. Elere's last solo outing was a cultured contribution to our Soul Music 2020 compilation entitled 'Dependent'. Which follows a similar pattern of clever sound design, swelling bassline and well structured percussion.
Named after Finland's strictest nature reserve, 'Kevo' opens with serene birdsong, paying homage to its inspiration. The increasingly familiar warped vocal samples enter alongside widening, crispy drums before entering a bassline that rivals the depth of the Kevojoki canyon! The talking drum throughout occupies the space between the more traditional drums and bass to offer something new.
Landing in all good stores on Friday the 1st of December, don't miss the chance to lap up this Lapland-inspired liquid, straight from the Kevojoki river!
Lally - Blue Razz Lemonade EP - Out now!
Matt Lally, better known by just his last name, is a London-based drum & bass producer who’s been causing a ruckus since his debut release on Soulvent in 2021, now boasting releases across Hospital, Soulvent and Cardinal Sound’s Archway. He’s garnered impressive radio support across BBC 1Xtra, Radio 1 and KISS from the likes of Sarah Story, Sian Anderson, Rene LaVice and Fred V to name a few. Following on from ‘Love The Way’ released with Lens in 2022, he steps up to the plate this year with a meaty 4-track offering which showcases more of his own developing sound.
‘Trusted You’ is a vibe-laden liquid roller, complete with languid, moody pianos and emotionally charged vocals. A beautifully uncomplicated vocal track, which deftly intercepts the listener's attention.
‘Generations’ is a techier offering, beginning with high-energy drums before unleashing a driving, screw-face-inducing bassline that will elicit gun fingers from even the most placid raver. Woe betide anyone who underestimates the second drop as faces are encouraged to melt further throughout the progression of the track.
‘Flicker’ sees Lally collaborate with up-and-coming vocalist Reico Vibes, and the result is a soulful liquid number that is bursting at the seams with emotion.
Finally, EP title-track ‘Blue Razz Lemonade (feat. Askel & Elere)’ is a rambunctious bubbler, Askel & Elere bring their trademark, haunting sci-fi liquid soundscapes in the form of a bounding bassline and detuned synths while Lally’s recognisably crisp drums provide the perfect garnish to this competent concoction.
The refreshing, effervescent ‘Blue Razz Lemonade’ EP is available from all good stores on Friday the 15th of September.
