Somasphere
- Visit Website
|
||
|
Somasphere is known for its energetic live shows that combine the dance floor sensibilities of DJ culture with the performance capabilities of rock music. Their unique approach centers on solid danceable rhythms created by the use of both traditional and electronic drum kits. The flow of these distinct, yet equally energetic sources allows the band to traverse the spectrum of grooves and tempos; from steady house, hard-hitting breaks, and intense jungle to mid-tempo and hip hop. In any of these styles, Somasphere brings the low-end deep and dirty with both bass guitar and synth. While the rhythm section is powerful, many of the sonic textures that have come to define the band’s sound center on melodies created by both guitar and laptop based sample manipulation. These disparate elements combine to create a sound that is equally at home in the headphones or on a packed dance floor. |
