about

"Lo-fi house belongs to the Internet now, but its genesis lies in mid-2010s Pacific Northwest labels like Mood Hut and 1080p. Steel Clouds, a new split by local producers Dorosoto and Body San, reminds us what a fertile environment this rainy corner of the country is for earthy, wet-sounding house music. The kick drums sound like feet splashing through puddles, the chords are like clouds gathering overhead, and the production makes the whole album sound as if it's been buried for a few days and unearthed." - Willamette Week

"Steel Clouds is some exquisite, atmospheric electronic from Portland-based producers Body San and Dorosoto. This one covers a lot of ground jumping through techno, house, ambient, dub and IDM, everything imbued with a sparse, lo-fi haziness. Excellent stuff all around." - Endless Crate

*CD Reissue now available via Rad Cult as of 3/4/2022*

IRL pals Dorosoto and Body San (hailing from Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR respectively) bring to Pearsoll Peak a face-melting new split titled Steel Clouds. Carefully sequenced to alternate between the two artists throughout, the release finds these friends matching moods and tones impeccably throughout the ride.

"Vaporous" would be too easy of a description for an album titled Steel Clouds, and though vapor is felt, it is just one of many stylistic elements slicing through the mix. The album shifts through house, techno, ambient, glitch, dub, lo-fi and 90s IDM like a 7-disc CD changer on the fritz. Steel Clouds imagines chill-out filtered subconsciously through the uncomfortable reality of life under quarantine, spending too much time zoning out to the 3DO or your digital (de)vice of choice.

Anodyne but blissfully so. 'Reborn While Shopping' dislocates despite its familiarity, its clean vapor surface, like a distorted mirror. Jamais vu is some kind of magic after all. boogiedroid
