Delightful, funky, pure tech. The Liverpool BOOMERANG!! Why boomerang? His vocal teasers play over beats that evolve then return - so you get to catch them - he diverts or mutes part of the drums, builds, then returns right back to where we were with one or two elements changed. A comfortable game of familiarity and flirt, and IMO his set at COCO is unrivalled for playfulness and capable control.
Introduced to production at 14, SOSA had a quick climb to international credit starting around 2022, and now has ties to some of the sexy giants of the contemporary club (PAWSA, Bibi, Martinez Bros). I guess I was lucky to have caught the wave a touch earlier than the mass appeal - Jay Bradford passed by us on the way into his set at CODA, and was kind enough to stop for a photo after delivering his 1,000 points-up set.
