Self Titled Dubut EP
Out of print for over 7 years, the extreemly rare Self Titled Debut EP will now be re-released in digital format. The EP features "The Shadow Reel" recorded live at The Zoo nightclub and the shimmering "Dirty" that broke the band onto indie radio in Australia.
I Mix Therefore I Am
In all it's glory; 15 tracks of synthetic maddness. The first and only full lenght album released by Soma Rasa. "Tracks twist and turn rather than push forward; they haven't been made for radio, rather for sweaty warehouses, I Mix Therefore I Am has the party ignition of a Prodigy tune with the nous of a band who know how to rock a crowd."
(Juice Magazine)
On The Run Crisp Hard and Funky; the guys most dancfloor driven mix featuiring the Triple J radio favourite "I Like It" and the pulsating collaboration with Miss Brown on "Something Wicked".

Brisbane band Soma Rasa are renowned for their energenic live show. And their showcase shows in LA were a testament to this.
