Houis, the moniker of producer Cotton Duck, has always carried a quiet intimacy; his music exists in that fragile space between nostalgia and presence, where memory hums beneath every texture. With “1997”, he transforms personal grief into something luminous, a soundscape that feels both private and infinite. A vocal sample anchors the piece: a home video of his sister reading in French to their father for the first time. It’s a tender, unguarded moment, folded delicately into the track like a heartbeat from another life.
