Forthcoming is the new Freelance Science release featuring two of Soma's finest Funk D'Void and Hipp-e. Hipp-e Funk 'You Like That' / 'Grave Diggers' will be available through Prime on 25th November, you will also be able to purchase via the Soma shop. Both sides are delicious yet dark, dubbed out house with jazz licks, swirling techno synths and relentless driving bass lines.

Tony's new release on Soma will be out Monday 7th October

A. Tight Rope
B1. Call Of The Ancients
B2. Lost Treasure

Tony Thomas returns to Soma with a fantastic three tracker of funky tribal house music. Tony is on a roll right now and you will most likely find one of his first rate recordings in the boxes of a cross section of DJ’s. Currently house, techno and progressive spinners love his tribal grooves.

Tony is a very busy man and one the most respected and prolific house music producers on the scene right now. This is his third release on Soma and they just keep getting better.

On the A Side ‘Tight Rope’ is classic Tony Thomas – a rolling conga driven groove is underpinned with sci-fi chants and jungle funk, this firing cut is sure to please lovers of Tony’s style. Keeping the tribal feel is the equally excellent ‘Call of the Ancients’ with its big driving bassline and African chants. Finally ‘Lost Treasure’ is in the same vein but with a more melodic dubby feel. All in all this is a great package from a great producer.

The all new Soma Compilation 8 is out 28th October

On this collection new guys like Sobek, Master H and Tony Thomas line up next to Soma heavyweights Percy X, Funk D’Void and Slam. From across the Atlantic there are tracks from H-Foundation and Common Factor. One of the UK’s premier electro funksters Keith Tenniswood pops up with a couple of remixes, firstly with Andrew Weatherall as Two Lone Swordsmen in the ALBUM EXCLUSIVE dub of Slam featuring Dot Allison’s ‘Visions’ and also turning in a solo Radioactive Man mix for Percy X’s ‘Time To Jack’. Further remixes come from Silicone Soul with their Darkroom Dub of Universal Principles ‘Latin Stroll’, Envoy revamps his Sexdrive track into a turbo charged sex bomb, there’s also Samuel L Sessions fizzing Juice rework of the mighty Diabla and finally the fantastic Christian Smith & John Selway remix of all-time Slam classic ‘Stepback’. The result is a compilation of the very best house, techno and electro that money can buy.

The artwork for the compilation has been done in conjunction with a new initiative Soma has developed with Glasgow School of Art, from a collection of several different creative ideas one student has been selected to cultivate his idea of a Soma alphabet. The front cover shows characters that have been selected and a specially encrypted message, which only those with the code will be able to decipher.

Download the Dingbat font from the Soma website on 28th October.

tinged house monster. Also included on the twelve is the all new and
deeply funky 'From Here To The Space' and additional 'Bonus Beats'.
