Sosa
In 2023, SOSA released the infectious ‘It’s Time To Move,’ which electrified crowds on some of the biggest stages around the world. He capped off the year by collaborating with Cloonee on the heavy-hitting club track ‘Weeping Willow,’ released on Hellbent Records.
The COCO label and event series also saw tremendous success in 2023, releasing tracks from talented producers like Prok & Fitch, and Discip, and hosting sold-out shows across the UK in major cities like Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham and London.
This year promises even more from COCO, starting with a sold-out show in Leeds in May, followed by the second COCO release of the year. SOSA’s highly anticipated track ‘Blow’ dropped on June 14th, delivering one of the most requested IDs in house music today. Keep an eye out for more headline and festival appearances by SOSA throughout the year, including big performances at Creamfields, Hard Summer, and Eastern Electrics, as well as key club sets at Ibiza’s finest venues like Hï and Amnesia.
