Track List
16bit/44.1khz [wav/flac/aiff/alac/mp3]
Frankfurt-based artist Sofian is relatively new to the production game, but in a short amount of time
he's made quite the splash. Following appearances on Robert Babicz' Babiczstyle, Tronic and
Phobiq, he lands his debut on Sous with the Awakening EP featuring three deep cuts of the highest
order.
The title track is true to its name, slowly unveiling a repeated chime motif from behind a standard kick, then
adding tinkling arpeggios to lull the listener into a higher state of consciousness. Bleary processed toms
provide a hands-in-air moment towards the track's end, its hypnotic journey having come full circle.
"The Other Side" is similarly multifaceted. A cosmic odyssey strewn with starburst synths and bleepy
arpeggiating keys, the introduction of a staunch kick drum propels the mix forward before a thick rubbery
bassline takes the energy up a notch. Slightly trippy and aimed for the heavens, "The Other Side" is your
soundtrack to gooey post-peak blissouts.
On "Discotheka", Sofian brings the listener from the stratosphere back to the club, evoking the eternal pull
of the dancefloor through snappy snares, neon stabs and a squiggly acid bassline. Bright and bouncy with
a dark undercurrent, it perfectly captures the spirit of a hedonist's playground.
Showcasing three different moods and bundles of talent, Sofian's maiden release on Sous surely won't be
his last.
