In a dark and bleak future, the world was ravaged by famine, and the poor districts were left to fight for every scrap of food by participating in a deadly sport called Speedball. Sola were the star players of their team, known for their lightning-fast reflexes and ruthless tactics. Having recently won the championship, Sola accepted the prize but they couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. The cycle of violence and hunger would continue, and they would have to continue to play the game or starve.
Sola knew that every time they stepped onto the field, they were risking their life, but they also knew that it was the only way to help their family and friends. The government had created Speedball as a means to control the population and to ensure that the rich districts remained in power. It was a cruel game, but it was the only way that the people of the lower districts could get access to food.
Sola’s newest Boomslang release is a new 4-track drum and bass EP titled “Speedball”, featuring collaborations with the talented vocalists Kit Rice as well as a collaboration with Minor Flux. The EP showcases Sola's unique ability to blend their passion for techstep and dancefloor, creating a high-energy sound that perfectly captures the intensity of their sound. With their signature fast-paced beats and driving basslines, Sola brings a fresh and exciting new sound to the drum and bass scene.
Kit Rice’s soulful and powerful vocals add another layer of depth to Sola's already dynamic sound on the track “I’ve Got You”. The EP's title track, "Speedball," is an instant classic, with a combination of Sola and Minor Flux’s fierce beats. The simplistic repeating steppy motif is a stark contrast to the mad neurofunk chaos of I've Got You.
The other two tracks, "Oblivion," and "Howler," are equally impressive, with each one showcasing Sola's versatility as a producer and artist. The former is based on one of the UK's best roller coasters, the Oblivion ride at Alton Towers and samples several of the movies that play as people queue to go on as well as having a false drop that replicates the feeling of riding it.
Sola's new EP is a must-listen for any fan of drum and bass and electronic music, and it marks an exciting new chapter in their career.
