Its been a busy year for Vin Sol. After inaugurating his own imprint ‘Club Lonely’ in May, he went on to release two more EP’s.
Now the San Francisco native is back again with his debut EP on Ultramajic.

Although this is the first release Vin Sol has put out through Ultramajic you can’t help but appreciate their synchronicity, both the label and Vin Sol have an uncompromising vision for their work. Ultramajic’s overarching aesthetic and dedication to cutting edge, energetic house and techno and Vin’s lively veneration of old school midwestern jack tracks sit perfectly together.

‘Instinct’ is a straightforward introduction to the EP, bleeps and a pounding kick drum carry the track to a frenzied finale. ‘1314’ ushers in a darker atmosphere, born out of a combination of simple elements Vin manages to twist and build a unique energy. In ‘Can’t Cope’ Vin utilizes a complex drum pattern to drive the track forward, never losing the momentum of the dance floor. Longtime friend Matrixxman steps up for a remix of the title track. Taking things back to basics Matrixxman strips it back for a pitched down minimal intro before reintroducing the bleeps and cymbals. Lastly, digital bonus ‘DTLW’ is a classic jacking beat, Vin plays with a vocal sample of ‘Work’ rounding out the EP to an infectious crescendo.
