INTRO
Following the debut album by Scottish artist Maastricht Research and Edinburgh legend George T’s new single (in October and November respectively), Kiji Suedo is the latest signing to HM and a new artist from Osaka, Japan. This will be his third release and first album, having put out a couple of EPs earlier this year via Canadian label Solar Phenomenon.

His music is reminiscent of Pole plus Theo Parrish and Detroit's Beatdown scene. He plays with rhythm, odd samples and sounds in an unusual way, creating a novel sonic palette and dense, dark moods.

In his own words:
"These songs are the sound I've always wanted to express. It's not for the dance floor, but it's for listening, for excitement, and I think it's a completely unique texture."

PREVIOUSLY
"Kiji Suedo is an exciting new talent from Japan. His sound palette of hisses and clonks is reminiscent of the late ‘90s/early ‘00s “clicks & cuts” movement, but he’s clearly focused on taking it somewhere new. His other EP this month, Yin, is murky, steady-stepping dub, and is well worth a spin. But Hughes II is where things get really interesting, with some spiky, outsider house bounce in the mix. Intriguing and promising."
