Soma launch a new series dedicated to the latest in up and coming techno talent with the Collective Process Series. Volume 1 sees some of the brightest starts to come from Glasgow’s burgeoning scene as local DJ/producers Lisaloof, Neoma & Kairogen debut on the label. Joinging them is one of the UK’s most most revered producers and mastering engineers Joe Farr and Leeds based rising star Balrog.

With techno firmly at the forefront of this series, Joe Farr’s ‘Beaky’ opens the EP with relentlessly twisted synths and hard hitting kicks. The fast paced spacial yet rave infected sounds of Neoma’s Abducted continue the release’s momentum as Balrog’s Tokyo Drift gives a fine insight in to modern UK hard techno with blistering drums and fierce energy. Next up, LISALÖÖF’s jacking ‘Down The Vaults’ punches hard but remains deep and hypnotic. Closing out the EP, artist and producer Kairogen lets you drift away into glacial pads and ethereal ambience with her downtempo track ‘Mineral’.
