The music of Montreal electronica duo Isla Den is as much about mythology as melody, constructing surreal realms to house their rave-refracted pop and exploratory multimedia. Founders Ellie Manning and Michael Reale met while students at Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD), bonding over a shared fascination with 3D environments and hybrid-tech designs. At the crossroads of blissful and wistful, Isla Den's new EP Virtual Garden serves as both siren song and beautiful illusion — uncanny but untouchable, a feedback loop of holographic longing.
The debut EP from Sojua (aka Josh Burgess) is low-slung but high-minded — four fluid electronic instrumentals, each flexing a fresh wavelength of rhythmic sophistication, melodic subtlety, and twilit emotion. We're honored to be sharing it with the world today. Listen HERE.

Josh from Yumi Zouma is easily one of our favorite humans on Earth, so we are over the moon to announce his new solo project under the name Sojua. Sojua's debut single "Tempelhof" is out today, ahead of a four-track EP out February 19. Check out the "Tempelhof" visual and stream the track HERE.
