SOTA has set out to cross the streams between electronic music and rock with their new track ‘SLEEP FOREVER’, featuring James Veck-Gilodi of Deaf Havana.
An atmospheric, pulsating and punishing piece of building drum and bass, serving as a collaboration between him and Circadian, it’s a song that perfectly encapsulates all of the elements that have allowed SOTA to rise to the very top of the scene.
Though with the inclusion of a voice like James’, there’s a real sense of his understanding and appreciation for the rock scene, specifically that which exists in the UK.
The result is a tune full of heart, soul and energy that blurs the lines in the most rampant manner.
SOTA had this to say about the tune:
“I was raised on Rock and Metal and am always searching for ways to integrate that into my work whilst retaining the euphoric core of the Sota sound. I hit up James from Deaf Havana to make a huge, moody intro piece together and after some deliberation after listening to what came out of the session I sent it to Circadian for our 3rd collaboration. The result is a beautiful, haunting merging of alternative songwriting with cutting edge drum and bass production and I couldn’t be happier to put this one out!”
You can catch SOTA taking over many a city over the coming months, all building up to a huge show at London’s Wembley Arena in January next year.
