    their own biography

    the whole biography
    Liverpool-born SOSA has emerged as one of the UK’s most influential figures in house music. Known for his highly recognizable, minimal-driven sound and high-energy DJ sets, he’s earned a global following and played top festivals like Creamfields, Coachella, Hard Summer, and Ibiza’s biggest clubs. With standout releases like BLOW (White Girl In Town), the Bump Artist EP, and Mezcal Bounce, SOSA has helped define the sound of a new generation of house music. His imprint, COCO Records, has become a key player in the minimal/deep tech space—topping charts and hosting sold-out shows across the UK, Europe, and the U.S. Both behind the decks and behind the label, SOSA continues to push the genre forward with a clear vision and unmistakable sound.
