about

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.
