A well-established figure in the UK music scene and further afield for delivering top-notch records and a profound dedication to crate digging, London-based DJ and artist Vass is now launching The Comfort, a newly-established record label, specializing in the forefront of electronic music.
In Vass's own words, the driving force behind the label's inception is the inherent and organic power of music in different aspects of our life: “whether you find yourself amidst the pulsating energy of a nightclub's dance floor, immersed in your morning commute with headphones as your sole companion, or seeking creative inspiration within the studio's confines, music possesses the remarkable ability to transport us from reality, enveloping us in a soothing embrace that replenishes our spirit and fuels our journey”.
Within this realm of The Comfort, Dj Lo-Tek, Sohrab's alter ego for off-kilter productions and Vass’ close musical companion, serves the inaugural release named Fast Feelings 2.0, comprising a 4-tracker hardware-based EP created back in 2020. The EP features a distinctive and varied fusion of gloomy futurism, crisp snares, captivating melodies, and resonant basslines. Focusing on A2, titled Reznet, Sohrab delivers a hybrid between Italo, Acid and Braindance/IDM with a touch of nostalgia. It’s one of those emotional and dreamy songs that sticks in your head after a night out when played at the right time - an innovative and forward-thinking track that has all the right ingredients to become a future classic.
