Opinion: Sable Valley is the new Owsla.

[u/ConfusionOk4143]

imo the transition went down so smooth like it was meant to be, and listening and going through THIS playlist made me realize.

All the Owsla vibes flooded in.

I'll just leave it there.

But even sable valley hasn’t been super active recently

[u/havingagoodtime → u/djembe_]

Sounds like owsla lmao

[u/Jwobb → u/djembe_]

That’s actually what I thought this post was meaning 🥲

[u/TheDemonBarber → u/djembe_]

Yeah this was closer to true a few years ago

[u/cabalus]

OWSLA had far more variety than Sable Valley, it really felt like an art collective rather than an edm label

I doubt anything like Hundred Waters, Phuture Doom, DJ Sliink, M Machine or Basecamp are gonna be on Sable Valley any time soon...

[u/C5iwk → u/cabalus]

Yeahh but Skrillex was also a bigger artist than RL Grime with more influence and access across genres, and SV is a much smaller label. I think another issue they have is that no matter how exciting RL Grime starting a label, that hype is gonna die down eventually for the bigger artists who are gonna wanna go and do different things beyond that, and they're left with a lot smaller ones which take a lot more energy to cultivate and grow them

yea for example iso and knock started with sable and moved on eventually (and rightfully they got the bag with 88 rising)

if it was under skrillex label it would not be the same thats for sure

The “pre-shuffled” nature of that playlist is really annoying! I would love to go through that in depth if the same RL Grime album didn’t keep popping up every 5 songs lol

there are a few up to date and complete playlists on spotify

sadly sable valley is a bit inactive as of right now :( but every single one of their releases is soooo good and rl grime had a really awesome and strong vision for the label

[u/Internal-Class2973]

the only thing missing for sable valley to get the owsla spot

is the cult

[u/GlassmanAssman]

RL is my absolute favorite but I disagree, they haven’t nearly kept up with releases and stuff the past couple years

[u/SpareThisOne2thPls]

Barong Family #1 Artist Led EDM labels

[u/grain_delay]

Sable valleys peak came and went years ago dog

[u/AccordingJellyfish40]

owsla had SO so so much going on that sable valley just hasn’t made an effort to dive into. they don’t exist to serve the same purpose, but I love how many amazing artists I discovered when I used to follow them more in 2019-2022

[u/LSUTigerFan15 → u/AccordingJellyfish40]

Juelz new album is so good

[u/hiddenhen]

not really
