Behind the Deep House : Release Notes

Velvet Textures will be third release on the label from Osaka auteur Kiji Suedo, following the acclaimed Riot album in 2022 and Hosek EP in 2023. These releases attracted fans across the board: Ricardo Villalobos, Charles Webster, Antal, Leo Mas, ND Baumecker, John Heckle, Red Rackem, Nick Craddock, Intergalactic Gary, For Mankind, Mixmag Asia, DJ Mag, Stuart Maconies Freak Zone on BBC 6Music, Giovanni Civitenga on NTS, Lorna Clarkson in Sydney, Tobias Fischer at 15 Questions in Berlin, Beatport Best New Hype Electronica, Ban Ban Ton Ton, the list goes on…. Velvet Textures dwells in a space where fidelity unravels. Seams split. Pitch bends. Clarity slips into velvet. Voices fade. Hiss remains. Murky memories of house music, electro, techno, dub and ambient are all hewn together in Suedos unique manner, leaning very much towards the leftfield, both on and off the dance floor. A2 track Focus is a brilliant collaboration with Edinburghs George T (Accident Machine, George Demure etc), half-spoken, gently absorbed into the current – not foregrounded, but drifting like vapour through the mix. Together, they shape a sonic space that lingers in tension half-thought, half-felt, never fully resolved. The sleeve art reproduces photograms by legendary US artist Curtis Moffat (who famously collaborated with Man Ray) dating from 1923 but which remain disarmingly fresh a whole century on. Suedos mysterious, alien aesthetic feels equally timeless today. Esoteric perhaps but so were the Boards Of Canada when they first emerged. REVIEWS: Suedo weaves distorted recollections of house, electro, techno, dub, and ambient, yet subverts them through his experimental lens, where genres serve merely as departure points. The result is a journey oscillating between contemplation and motion, noise and silence, blurring the edges of the dancefloor without ever fully leaving it. Standout track Focus, a hypnotic collaboration with Edinburghs George T (of Accident Machine and George Demure fame), sees Georges fractured vocals not as dominant elements but as particles suspended in the sonic stream, dissolving into the mix until they become pure texture. INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX – read full review: industrialcomplexx.com/kiji-suedo-velvet-textures-hobbes-music/ FEEDBACKTO DATE: This EP is wild, I think my immediate fave is the Lobster still burning in my mind AFTERLIFE aka STEVE MILLER (Subatomic UK, Skylab FM, Cafe del Mar) When you can really play what you want to play, you play stuff like this. Good DJs will make the most of this eerie magnificence. FOR MANKIND (Pikes, Ibiza) Im loving this. Lo-fi, grainy vibes married with funk like Chain Reaction meets Apron Records or something in between. JAMIE THOMSON (Radio Buena Vida, Glasgow)
