The release builds on SOTA’s established creative partnership with Circadian, following their collaborations on ‘Mesmer’ and the ‘Sientelo’ remix. With a shared instinct for big, forward-thinking drum and bass, the pair reunite on ‘SLEEP FOREVER’, pushing their sound into darker territory through a haunting atmosphere and commanding vocal.
The track arrives as SOTA continues to cement his position as one of drum and bass’s leading artists. Since winning Best Newcomer at the Drum&BassArena Awards in 2023 and being named a BBC Radio 1 Future Star, he has taken his State Of The Art live concept from sold-out UK dates to the international stage, selling 25,000 tickets in Australia and selling out London’s legendary Roundhouse in just ten minutes.
‘SLEEP FOREVER’ also sees SOTA and Circadian joined by Deaf Havana frontman James Veck-Gilodi, whose distinctive vocals bring an added emotional weight to the track. Known for his ability to balance raw intensity with melodic clarity, Veck-Gilodi brings a different dimension to the collaboration, cutting through the production with a performance that feels both intimate and expansive.
Bringing together three distinct creative voices, ‘SLEEP FOREVER’ connects SOTA’s arena-sized ambitions with the darker influences at the heart of his sound, marking another step forward for an artist continuing to push the boundaries of drum and bass.
