The Fujicolour EP marks the first new solo work by Ski since 2021’s Short Circuits LP (with the exception of his ambient Ayota project Sound Travelling LP in 2023). Picking up the thread from Short Circuits, the EP features four tracks which dive deeper into electronic house & techno territory, balancing groove with melody and texture.

Opener Lonestate is a spiritual sequel to Jam State from Short Circuits, while Mount Fuji, Reckless and Skywalking expand the palette into widescreen, emotive dancefloor moments. Reckless was recently performed live for the first time at Tokyo’s Violetta club, where Ski played a hybrid performance and DJ set, road-testing the new material in front of an intimate crowd.

The title and artwork are rooted in a Japanese family photo album, reflecting Ski’s love for Japan and its aesthetic influence on his music. These tracks are also a snapshot of a larger body of work - Ski is currently shaping his next full-length album, set for release next year. In the meantime, Fujicolour EP captures the energy of an artist in motion, fresh from two years of touring and co-producing with Galliano on their recent Halfway, Somewhere album.
