Here comes the second EP from Loose Shus, direct from San Francisco, CA. Two years in the making, this self-titled EP combines modern funk, cosmic disco, and experimental synth boogie. The instruments used span three decades: from the 80s he used the Oberheim DX, Akai Ax60, Yamaha TX81z, to the 90s Roland JX-305, and onto present day software. The EP enlists the help of a few talented producers —XL Middleton's ripping keyboard solos can be heard on "Saturation” —PLAzA lays in some chilled out textures on "Ladies".
Loose Shus’ first EP was released in 2009 by Plant Music. He then went on to do many remixes for artists such as Mayer Hawthorne and Jupiter. He was featured on the Voltaire Records’ 12" compilations Affairs Online and Private Function, as well as the Valerie Collective compilation.
The music videos below were all made by Loose Shus, he's been skateboarding and animating strange animals since he was a young kid, why stop now.
