Artists
Ketsa
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, 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).

Aquarius Unfolds
After critical acclaim for his first two albums from publications like DJ Mag and The Epoch Times, Soapsud's Ketsa returns for his eagerly awaited fourth release, and the first release on his own imprint End Daze Recordings.
Thirteen tracks of uplifting and thoughtful music, Ketsa's style is wide and varied. From melancholic downtempo to electronica and breakbeat, met with traces of ethinic influences suggestive of his roots, Aquarius Unfolds is a true listeners' journey, familiar in concept but original in design.
See the news page for more information on new releases, gigs, dj and live sets by Ketsa.
