CLOUDS
Clouds is a Finnish electronic music production team that consists of
Tommi Liikka
and Samuli Tanner. Tommi is a Helsinki native and Samuli
comes from a small village
deep in rural Finland. The pair met through
mutual friends in 1999, and ever since
planned on working on some music
together, hindered by both working on various
projects and shows of
their own. The plan was finally realised after a string of
coincidences
and happy accidents led them to sharing a house in the northern
suburbs
of Helsinki.
Both
members share an interest in the DIY aesthetic often connecting all
kinds
of
music made with passion, not brains. And passion is a trait
that overlaps any
genre
or style boundaries, leading to music that is
willing to break the mold.
By 2006, Tommi was already deep into dubstep, and when the pair finally
got
together for a few fun and productive sessions trying to nail down
the style,
Clouds was born. The Clouds sound is like a soundtrack to the
invasion of earth
by
little and green, but dubwise, aliens. It's a fresh
take on the standards of
dubstep, combining elements from video games,
experimental music and hip-hop with
deep melodic meditations and
dancefloor-shredding basslines. Always keeping it
fresh, Clouds tracks
rarely tread a path they've previously stepped on. This has
been noted
by many of the scene's top DJ's, leading to Clouds being championed by
people like Joe Nice, Geiom, Skream, N-Type, L-Wiz, Dj/Rupture, Mary
Anne Hobbs
and Tes La Rok. Not ones to leave the footwork for others,
Clouds has also been
travelling to spread their sound to various places
such as China, France, UK (DMZ
and Subdub among others), Russia,
Ireland and Sweden.
