Channeling the spirit of free parties and Anomie's ethos of communal liberation, SOS EP blends drum & bass, electro and downtempo in one explosive release: an essential purchase for the discerning DJ, it's exquisite cover art is sure to draw the eyes of record shoppers worldwide. Anomie is the rebellious alter ego emerging from the studio of classically trained composer and producer Sofie Loizou. Sydney ravers know Anomie as a dynamic presence on the free party scene (her set at the last multi-stage Channel warehouse party was cut short by police shutdown); internationally, she's played at venues across the world including Sonar, Outlook, Low End Theory, Strawberry Fields and Subsonic. Her career in the male-dominated electronic music industry, with it's testerical egos and gate-keeping, has required fortitude and defiance (hear her interview with Sound Meets Sound podcast here). From her debut LP Permanent Revelation, inspired by the international uprisings from Tahrir Square to Zuccoti Park, to her most recent single 'Fat Chance Sucker', a 'middle finger to oppressive forces in our personal lives' (see video here), Anomie combines a defiant ethic of protest and reclaiming the future with the bass music pulsing through her veins. Inspired by an impromptu party in a car park, SOS EP blends intricate, precision-engineered production values with uncompromising dancefloor kinetics, from the brutal snares and skulking, rubbery bassline of 'Car Park RDM' to the frenetic, fluttering energy of 'What You Gonna Do About It', the hybridised electro-stepping beats and warm subsonics of 'Machine Learning', and the epic atmospherics of 'Makedonski Oro'. Inna Riddim has released innovative electronic bass music in digital format since 2011.
