Upful LIFE 2024: Favorite Records & More!Ebi SodaCollaborations & Remixes vol.1Born from marathon jam sessions amidst the still-exploding UK scene, Brighton-based future-jazz quintet Ebi Soda proudly embraces non-traditional approaches to creativity and recording processes, while bravely defying established industry norms. Ebi Soda identifies as jazz in the improvisational sense; innovation and experimentation are the primal modus operandi. Sonically, the band owes a debt to rave culture, nightclub dancefloors, and contemporary electronic styles. As such, on Collaborations and Remixes Vol.1, the band hands their music over to a curated crew of capable peers, including members of Monster Florence, emcee Dame, London cosmonaut Ash Walker, BODUR, J Harli, and Upful LIFE perennial fave JD Reid. UK grime, rap, drum n’ bass, garage, dub, and the avant-garde are in full effect on this searing slab of streetsoul and swagger, wrangling together talent from the ever-expanding Ebi Soda universe, pushing the envelope of their intelligent compositions with forward-thinking reimaginings and progressive production around every bend.*Peep the 8th annual comprehensive compendium w/ reviews, playlists, & purchase links! **Please consider donating to support this work.*READ --> bit.ly/upful-2024 ***LlNK lN Bl0***@ebisoda ...
