SOLSTA UNVEILS PROGRESSIVE HOUSE GEM ‘TOGETHER’, (FEAT BEXX).
‘Together’ is the latest progressive house track from Perth artist, Solsta. It features electronic songstress BEXX on vocals and follows on from his 2020 singles ‘Everything’, ‘Falling’ and ‘Want You’.
“The track came together so smoothly. I instantly fell in love with the vocal effect BEXX put over the drop and her voice really complements the production. I'd have to say I'm really impressed and proud of how the vocals flow from the verse to build to chorus. The vocal swells and harmonies really work to drive the track forward and build this sense of momentum when paired with the various synths and other instruments I used. The track just constantly moves and pushes forward in such a gorgeous, lush way.”

With comparisons to Golden Features and Rufus Du Sol, ‘Together’ showcases why the Australian dance community is in formidable shape, with this track fusing Solsta’s love of trance, house and progressive synths. ‘Together’ was recorded and mixed at Solsta’s home studio in Perth and mastered at Dark Arts Mastering by Mike Bell.
Discussing the genesis of the track, Solsta says “Together was born from my first piece of analog gear, the moog grandmother. The day it arrived I plugged it in and just jammed, figuring out its nuances and imperfections. It was second hand so a couple of the knobs were a bit wonky and fucked up but this gave it a unique touch. I honestly wrote the skeleton of the song in about 2 hours and then just polished it off over a couple more days.”
Teaming up with BEXX on the track evolved from a discussion with one of the producers Jeremy Palais, with Solsta further adding “We sat through and listened to some of my demos and talked about the direction the Solsta project was heading. He linked me up with BEXX straight after and we've been creating music since. I sent her the demo for Together and she hit me back up the next day with that stutter effect over the drop and i couldn't believe how perfectly it suited the track, we continued to work on the rest of the vocals over the next week as Perth was in lockdown and it came together effortlessly. Her vocal and production style is unique to herself and I feel it really compliments the direction the Solsta project is headed.”
