Houis – “Awash”

Houis follows up indie single “Open & Repeat” with a vibrant new instrumental offering in “Awash” – showing true dexterity and range in genre.

“Awash” was one of the first songs produced from my upcoming album, and is definitely the most experimental. Combining UK Garage with lofi, I made an 88BPM lofi beat and warped it to 120BPM, which laid the foundation for the track. Inspired by UKG artists like salute, as well as by friends and collaborators Indigo Eyes and Tyde, I was excited to give this genre a spin – Houis

THE STORY SO FAR

Houis (pronounced “weece”) is a French-American producer based in NYC. Influenced by artists such as Bonobo and Tom Misch, his distinct R&B lofi sound has evolved to include elements of a newer indie/house aesthetic.

As both a visual and sound artist, Houis displays a dexterity between visual aesthetics and his music which alludes to a wide range of ever-evolving skill.

His debut album “Outgrown” perfectly depicts the full range of his musical convictions, from UKG inspired lo-fi instrumentals, 80’s leaning indie-pop Open & Repeat w. Emmett Kai , to soulful offerings with international guest features such as Daydreamin’ w. Blush’ko .

“Outgrown” is expected to release early 2023 via Berlin based label Lekker Collective.
