Here at Soulvent we’ve always been firmly into supporting fresh, upcoming talent from across the globe. Enter Kamiyama Shigeta from Osaka, Japan – more comfortably referred to as Mountain. Upon receiving a demo from him last year, the young Japanese producer put himself firmly on our radar. There is a sheer energy in his production, forming from vocal chops and breaks, charged with spacey synths and counter-point melodies.

Overheat opens with blaring synths giving way to a shamisen-like arpeggio over the kick build up. The drop sees in a perfect blend of sweeping pads, chunky sub bass and huge pitch-shifted vocals, culminating in a truly energetic track.

Poseidon on the flip opens with piano chords drenched in reverb, flanked by all manner of clicks, pops and hisses. Once again vocal chops are the order of the day, this time more frantically cut alongside a pulsing bassline and punchy drum break.

Dropping on the 16th of February and marking our first release of 2018, Mountain’s debut single is definitely one not to miss.
