Aquarius - Soulquencies LP

Recording info

Soulquencies is a perfect harmony of deconstructed soundsystem music. Beautifully rebuilt with ambient textures, it hints towards grime and steppers while all the time melodious, musical and underpinned with bass weight. It perfectly transcends from clean and heavenly harmonies to bass pressure and grit - icy to warm in a masterful way.

This is the frst full length album on Scrub a Dub and we couldn't be prouder of this piece of music, which is equally at home on a hi fi or a soundsystem.

Soulquencies is the brand new album from the artist Aquarius, a classically trained musician from Tokyo who cut his teeth in the music industry in Glasgow in the early noughties. He hosted some of the city's first dubstep nights bringing artists like Silkie and Goth Trad, and taking small basement sessions into the bigger clubs, supporting Mala at the Art School. He played at some of the frst Outlook festival parties and was a trusted tour engineer for Mungo's Hi Fi Soundsystem, before returning to Tokyo where he distilled his experiences and musical vision into this project.
