Ketsa is one quarter of Soapsud City, west London’s latest electronica label. His first label was Hydrophonic recordings, a well received banging techno label distributed by Prime back in 2003, with releases from the likes of Ben Long, Uk Gold and Jel Ford. Then he was known as Shaolin. After four releases on his own imprint and three on Primate Recordings, Shaolin grew disillusioned by the scene and went back to the studio.
He returns as Ketsa, with the aim of bringing originality and emotion back into electronica and downtempo music. His compositions have been compared to Plaid and Boards of Canada (DJmag Nov07 and Epoch Times,05/05/07), though Ketsa maintains a unique sound of his own, layered ambiences blend with clattering beats, and the use of live instruments and percussion is also prevalent through his works. Having completed three albums already, Thoughts, End Daze, and the Remixes and Reedits sessions, Ketsa has also appeared with the likes of The KLF on Stuttgart based Mutan Records (Mutan006)
