Clouds is a Finnish electronic music production team that consists of
Tommi Liikka and Samuli Tanner. Tommi is a Helsinki native and Samuli
comes from a small village deep in rural Finland. The pair met through
mutual friends in 1999, and ever since planned on working on some music
together, hindered by both working on various projects and shows of
their own. The plan was finally realised after a string of coincidences
and happy accidents led them to sharing a house in the northern suburbs
of Helsinki.

Tommi is a veteran dj and promoter who has been working hard to
introduce people to the strange sounds emerging from the US west coast
hip-hop underground, while keeping an ear open for various musical
styles all sharing a common thread: bass weight. He has brought the
music he believes in to the people of this cold northern nation by
releasing numerous mixtapes, organising shows for artists he felt needed
to be heard and by running his record label, Anti-Party Music.

Samuli has been producing and releasing electronic music under various
aliases such as Ponytail and as part of the Dubbing Mixers project, as
well as playing drums in noise/punk bands and co-running the Tuulanauhat
record label. Samuli's signature production style, most audible in his
Ponytail project, is a healthy mashup of lo-fi drones and sample-heavy
cut n'paste workouts built into hip-hop instrumentals.

The combination of these musical influences is evident in Clouds - both
members share an interest in the DIY aesthetic often connecting all
kinds of music made with passion, not brains. And passion is a trait
that overlaps any genre or style boundaries, leading to music that is
willing to break the mold.

By 2006, Tommi was already deep into dubstep, and when the pair finally
got together for a few fun and productive sessions trying to nail down
the style, Clouds was born. The Clouds sound is like a soundtrack to the
invasion of earth by little and green, but dubwise, aliens. It's a fresh
take on the standards of dubstep, combining elements from video games,
experimental music and hip-hop with deep melodic meditations and
dancefloor-shredding basslines. Always keeping it fresh, Clouds tracks
rarely tread a path they've previously stepped on. This has been noted
by many of the scene's top dj's, leading to Clouds being championed by
people like Joe Nice, Geiom, Skream, N-Type, L-Wiz, Dj/Rupture, Mary
Anne Hobbs and Tes La Rok. Not ones to leave the footwork for others,
Clouds has also been travelling to spread their sound to various places
such as China, France, UK (DMZ and Subdub among others), Russia,
Ireland, Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Sweden.
