Erik Sumo

Erik Sumo, a.k.a Ambrus Tövisházi.
The Budapest based producer and singer/songwriter plays in different bands and releases under different pseudonyms. In his home country he is most famous for the weird eclectic pop band called “Amorf Ördögök”, in which he plays the Keyboard. He has also worked as a DJ on Budapest’s legendary Tilos Radio, a group he is not part of anymore. Ambrus contributes to soundtracks for both, experimental cinema (at the moment he is composing the soundtrack for a christmas movie by Peter Gardos entitled “The Real Santa”) and TV-shows (the NBC used a remix of Amorf Ördögök’s “Tündérdomb” for their action series “Las Vegas”). The most internationally famous of Ambrus’ pseudonyms is “Erik Sumo”, under which he released 12’’ on “Pulver Records”. His 2002 release “Just a Woman” was a laid back house-tune. A lot of time in which the fans surely got nervous passed since than, but finally the waiting is over and Erik Sumo returns to Pulver with a band and a blast.
