SOOHAN

SOOHAN. His name might ring a bell. He has been an innovative force in the Baltimore music scene for years, and is also the co-founder of the infamous Baltimore MANIFEST parties. Having shared the stage with the likes of Big Gigantic, Eskmo, Papadosio, Afroman, Alvin Risk, and Michal Menert, he is no stranger to the turntables. Tired of hearing the same trend-following bass music? Look no further. SOOHAN gives us a refreshing take on sample-based music with his debut album "Made In Baltimore", which is most accurately described as a "buffet of international bass music."
All of the tracks on the album pay homage to the mighty 808 kick, but it's his unique and extensive sample selection that makes this work truly memorable. He takes us on a multi-faceted journey, both across the globe and into the past, pulling simultaneously from the traditional music of various cultures, as well as from the depths of our nostalgia.
You will hear didgeridoos, cellos, trapped out Bulgarian women's choirs, traditional Native American pow-wowmusic, doo-wop, and even Missy Elliott. As you can see, this album covers quite the spectrum, but SOOHANmanages to blend all of these elements together perfectly. Do yourself a favor and press play.
