After cementing her status as a masterful producer with the release of her 4 previous singles - championed by the likes of Crack Magazine, Jamz Supernova, Shanti Celeste, Gilles Peterson and many more - Marla Kether celebrates the release of her debut EP with the title track ‘All That We
Have’, featuring acclaimed jazz:refreshed vocalist Sofia Grant.

Weaving Latin house and MPB (Música Popular Brasileira) into a lively and mesmerising fusion that transcends cultural boundaries, Kether continues to showcase a deep-rooted connection to the diverse sounds and styles that influence and are distilled within her craft. Led by flute and bass (which is exactly how the song began as a 16 bar loop), that track gradually developed with the addition of Will Fry’s rich layered percussion, Sofia’s rich, soaring vocals, and Brazilian-influenced nylon string guitar. The title is inspired by early recording sessions with previous collaborator Yazmin Lacey.

Exceeding 30 million Spotify streams as a session bassist for the likes of Yazmin Lacey, Oscar Jerome and Obongjayar, Marla now has 5 brilliant global dancefloor tracks rolling out in her own right. Adept in collaboration, and a skillful bassist, the EP is a culmination of a year-long release campaign, with an array of featured artists including K.O.G, Plumm, Solomon O.B and more.

At the heart of the EP, Marla melds soulful intentions with dancefloor inspired grooves. She builds a soundworld that teems with a vibrant effervescence, with a core focus on the live feeling of everything. The tracks serve as a melting pot of the various regions, diasporas, and musical traditions she is connected to through community, heritage and her musical expression. This spans Afro house and Congolese soukous on ‘In My Corner’, the suave blend of jazz and electronica on ‘BTR2’, the house rhythms of ‘Revolve’, which features live Brazilian percussion, and the spoken word and dub electronic blend on ‘Juvenile Masculine’. In addition, of course, to the aforementioned title track.


Marla is releasing through Saffron Records, the Bristol-based label and respected non-profit organisation on a mission
to uplift women, trans and non-binary artists.
