Leading the EP is its title track “Dustinations,” a stormy combination of jagged percussion, desert-inspired vocalizations, and deep, rumbling basslines. Middle Eastern motifs intertwine with blistering synths and hallucinogenic leads, creating a soundscape that’s as unpredictable as it is immersive.
Inspired by a recent trip back to his homeland, the EP’s sonic palette reflects a deep personal connection to Soltan’s roots. Building on the momentum of lead singles “Masyaf” and “Serpent King,” the project has already caught the attention of tastemakers like Dub Rebellion, This Song Slaps, and others. The EP features more new music from Soltan, including the raucous “Babel Bug” and glitchy EP closer “Blinking Stars.”
Soltan’s versatility extends beyond his solo work: he has collaborated with fellow bass music favorites including Ray Volpe, Flosstradamus, Whales, and RIOT, while also delivering official remixes for Spag Heddy, Zomboy, and Trivecta. His knack for blending global influences with relentless basslines sets him apart in a crowded field, offering listeners a fresh take on modern bass music. Soltan’s distinct sound has also earned recognition from scene heavyweights such as Barely Alive, Kayzo, Wooli, and Adventure Club, reinforcing his status as a trailblazer in bass music.
As an anonymous artist navigating the challenges of government-imposed sanctions in his home country of Iran, Soltan’s journey is one of resilience and creativity. Since breaking into the live performance circuit in 2021, his unique fusion of Middle Eastern, Indian, and bass music influences has made him a standout presence on festival stages and headlining sets worldwide.
With ‘Dustinations,’ Soltan continues to push genre boundaries while staying rooted in his cultural heritage; it’s an essential listen for fans of innovative bass music with a global twist.
