Intricate, cinematic electronic music that feels like a high-definition dream. Lush melodies and organic textures for deep late-night immersion.
Henry Saiz creates electronic music that functions like a vivid, high-budget film for the ears. His sound is rooted in the driving, hypnotic rhythms of progressive house and techno, but it is elevated by a profound sense of melody and a obsession with sound design. There is a palpable warmth to his productions, often blending crisp digital precision with the unpredictable grit of field recordings and analog hardware. It is music that feels expansive, reaching toward the cosmic while remaining grounded in human emotion.
What truly sets Saiz apart is his background in sound engineering and documentary work. He doesn't just write tracks; he builds environments. You'll hear the rustle of leaves, the hum of a distant city, or the shimmer of a modular synth that seems to breathe. His work avoids the repetitive traps of club music by introducing constant, subtle evolution, making his long-form mixes and albums feel like narrative journeys rather than just a collection of beats. It is sophisticated, psychedelic, and deeply immersive.
For those new to his world, 'Balance 019' is a legendary starting point that showcases his ability to weave disparate sounds into a singular, breathtaking tapestry. If you prefer a more song-oriented approach, 'Human' or 'All The Evil Of This World' demonstrate his knack for incorporating vocals and pop sensibilities into his sprawling electronic landscapes. It is the perfect soundtrack for moments that require both focus and a sense of wonder.
Henry Saiz is a Spanish electronic DJ, musician and music producer. Saiz' first productions were released through the Global Underground and Paradigma Musik imprints. His remix of Lamur by Guy J, released on the Bedrock label, was produced in 2009 after he came to the attention of John Digweed, one of the label's founders. Renaissance Recordings then commissioned the releases of his EPs Artificial Paradises and Madre Noche in 2009 and The Rider in 2010. He produced the Balance 019 compilation, released on June 10, 2011, and has his own record label, Natura Sonoris, which serves as a platform for his own productions as well as those of new artists. In addition to his productions, Saiz has been developing a live show, using a combination of the Akai APC-40 controlling Ableton Live, Access Virus TI Synth and an Ipod Touch.
