BIOGRAPHY
SUDO (SCI+TEC)
SUDO is a Live act and production team made up of Japanese brothers Isao and
Takashi Sudo. Their techno sound is one that they have carefully fomented over the
last two decades having first started out playing rock, jazz and new wave. Their true
musicianship always shines through to this day - both in their tracks and live shows -
and when coupled with early influences like Sven Vath and Underworld, you have a
blueprint for their unique techno sound.
Back when this pair first fell in love with the dance, there were no local trance and
techno events in the Kansai area, so like anyone with a true punk spirit, they began
organising their own. Having visited many such parties around the world they really
know how to throw the best events and in 1998 proved this at STUDIO PARTITA in
Osaka with a party called “TELEKTONON. ” It was a big success and many more
have followed in recent years, though they now go under the BLISSDOM banner and
have and expanded across scenes in the Kansai and Tokai areas.
The natural next step for this pair was to begin making their own music, and after
buying a Roland-JV1000, that is just what they did. An album of trance leaning
sounds soon followed in the form of INDIGO and it proved they knew how to craft
proper grooves with real emotion. Headline sets at clubs like Volume and hit releases
in the form of “King Beat” all ensued and won them many new fans in the process.
Since then, this pair have got more and more into pure techno and as such started
working as SUDO. It has seen them play impressive, absorbing live sets that have
received a lot of attention since playing at Tenkawa shrine, where famous artists such
as Kitaro, Brian Eno and Vangelis have also performed. This experience in turn has
fed back into their studio time and has influenced both their performance and
production techniques.
After visiting hotspots like Rotterdam, Ibiza and Berlin in 2012, younger brother Isao
Sudo decided to move his base to Berlin and has barely stopped making music since.
With such a polished main room sound, it wasn’t long before he caught the attention
of legendary dance DJ, producer and label boss Dubfire, who signed up their pair for a
release on his SCI+TEC label called the Monogram EP. It became a huge hit, was
played by top DJs on dance floors all around the world, and led to them getting tapped
up for many more new releases. These came on Depperfect, Agile in Italy, Scander in
France, Night Light Records in UK, the famous ENTER.Ibiza 2015 CD, Stick
Recordings and Selected Records in Spain, Rusted in Israel, Dark Face in Hungary in
turn increasing their notoriety in Europe, North and South America.
And they have also received plenty of remix offers by people like System 7, Rocksted,
FractaLL, Gaga, Mateo!, Oscar Aguilera, Alberto Ruiz, Kastis Torrau, Lutzenkirchen,
Jastin James. Following SUDO's 2016 live debut with Dubfire in ageHa Tokyo, and
SCI+TEC Showcase OFF Week Sonar, Japan Tour with Egbert then, many people on
the dance music scene have high expectations of Japan's latest electronic live act, and
they are well aware of that and promise to continue to break new ground going
forwards.
