Clazziquai Project
Sleek metropolitan grooves where acid jazz meets polished house. Sophisticated dual vocals over shimmering synths for late nights and stylish city living.

Clazziquai Project sounds like the sonic equivalent of a high-end boutique hotel in Seoul. It is music that feels expensive yet accessible, blending the rhythmic sophistication of acid jazz with the infectious pulse of early 2000s house. The interplay between Alex's smooth, baritone-leaning croon and Horan's breathy, emotive delivery creates a conversational warmth that grounds the sleek electronic production.
What truly sets them apart is their 'Shibuya-kei' sensibility, a magpie-like approach to genre that pulls in bossa nova, disco, and lounge music without ever feeling cluttered. DJ Clazzi's production is surgical and clean, using filtered synths and crisp drum programming to create a sense of effortless cool. It is the sound of urban optimism, capturing the feeling of a city that never sleeps but always stays stylish.
Start with 'Instant Pig' to hear the blueprint of their sound, particularly the track 'Sweety'. For a more refined, soulful experience, 'Color Your Soul' showcases their peak songwriting. It is perfect for anyone who wants electronic music that feels human, romantic, and deeply rooted in the aesthetics of modern city life.
