Channeling the spirit of free parties and Anomie's ethos of communal liberation, SOS EP blends drum & bass, electro, and downtempo in one explosive release: an essential purchase for the discerning DJ, its exquisite cover art is sure to draw the eyes of record shoppers worldwide. Anomie is the rebellious alter ego emerging from the studio of classically trained composer and producer Sofie Loizou. Sydney ravers know Anomie as a dynamic presence on the free party scene (her set at the last multi-stage Channel warehouse party was cut short by police shutdown); internationally, she's played at venues across the world including Sonar, Outlook, Low End Theory, Strawberry Fields and Subsonic. Her career in the male-dominated electronic music industry, with its testerone-based egos and gate-keeping, has required fortitude and defiance. From her debut LP Permanent Revelation (2014), inspired by the international uprisings from Tahrir Square to Zuccoti Park, to her most recent single "Fat Chance Sucker", a "middle finger to oppressive forces in our personal lives," Anomie combines a defiant ethic of protest and reclaiming the future with the bass music pulsing through her veins. Inspired by an impromptu party in a car park, SOS EP blends intricate, precision-engineered production values with uncompromising dancefloor kinetics, from the brutal snares and skulking, rubbery bassline of "Car Park RDM" to the frenetic, fluttering energy of "What You Gonna Do About It", the hybridized electro-stepping beats and warm subsonics of "Machine Learning", and the epic atmospherics of "Makedonski Oro". Inna Riddim has released innovative electronic bass music in digital format since 2011.

With an impressive and versatile pedigree as a classically trained musician, composer, producer and media artist, Anomie elegantly weaves together intricate and nuanced electronics with visionary dancefloor sensibilities, all culminating in the stratospheric sound experience that is her debut album. Her EPs Millions and Forward Backward made the world sit up and take notice, and her immaculate live manner has already earned her key slots at leading electronic international festivals. Permanent Revelation is a journey of political and spiritual awakening told through sound, a reflection of the unity of struggle worldwide, from the Arab Spring to the Occupy movement. Taking its cue from time away in Europe during a time of global political unrest, the album opens with a strike of revolution, melding into the optimistic spirit of the resistance of protest music. Fusing together a spectrum of influences from jazz, hip-hop and reggae through to the dissenting, driving rhythms of techno and bass, the thread of the album stays true to the spirit of rebellion that the unique Anomie sound is infamous for. Versatile synths wax and wane around catch cries from the picket line, underscored by defiant rhythm and dancefloor soul. Permanent Revelation features contributions from the likes of Canadian beatboxer/MC Shamik on the defiant "Rise Up," and the sassy Billie Rose Prichard's lyrical talents on "Knife's Edge," beefing up what is already a scintillatingly diverse and unquestionable selection of reasons why Anomie will be a name on all electronic tastemaker's lips this coming year.
