Currently based in Berlin, Soda Plains is originally from Hong Kong via the West Midlands, UK, but few other details have been revealed; like his contemporaries SOPHIE and A.G. Cook, his real identity is obscured behind a hyperreal female avatar. In May 2014, his all-original "Firmiana Simplex" mix was published via DIS Magazine, and a "fractured trance-pop and lush, sino-synths" session (FACT) was also featured in the SOPHIE ET AL mixtape along with Danny L. Harle. His first proper release Rushes arrived at the close of 2014: a hectic dual-track 12" combining UK funky, tropical house, and a mess of other styles.
