K.Larm & J.Raninen LIVE (Acid - Communiqué records)
http://www.myspace.com/cassu77
Kaj Larm aka. Cassu has been making electronic music since the golden
C-64- and Amiga-times. The trackers of the early years have since been
changed to real hardware synths, although the old computers are still
sometimes used in the music creation. Along the years, K.Larm has been
a part of several music projects (Happosieni project, The E.C. Connection,
Skinny Hippies etc.), and as the latest, K.Larm & J.Raninen project,
which currently is publishing tracks under the american Communiqué records.
Jouni Raninen has mostly made music in the Healium project, which has been
publishing acid music since 1999 on Skeletor records and the dutch Djax up-beats.
The next Healium releases will be released by the Communiqué records,
where J.Raninen has also made some solo tracks under the name Acidizer.
K.Larm & J.Raninen project originates from nearly ten years ago, when Skeletor
records label manager Kalle Karvanen introduced K.Larm and Healium to each other.
After a few years of studio jam sessions and general fun with music, the decision
was made to start publishing tracks and the love for the old TB-303 has ensured,
that quality acid tracks have been created ever since.
DJ Proton (TonTesT, Germany)
http://myspace.com/rotor23
Based in the german City of Cologne (Köln) DJ Proton is spinning
records for 13 years now. His style is best described as thrilling,
pumping, banging hard Techno, but once you're on the dancefloor music
speaks louder than words.
During Protons early years of Techno Jeff Mills was dominating the DJ
and Producer polls, so after checking some playlists Detroit soon
became a strong influence on the way Proton interpreted Techno and he
started to travel around Germany to see DJs like Claude Young, Jay
Denham, Juan Atkins, Derrick May or Jeff Mills himself on the rare
occasions they played.
Detroit had more to offer. Not only the sound, but also the thoughts
and concepts of Mike Banks from Underground Resistance, dealing with
topics as independence from Major-Labels and criticism of goverment
indoctrination impressed Ex-Punker Proton sustainable and encouraged
him to become a DJ himself.
During the time the influences grew:
Dj Rush, Dave Clarke, Dj Kammy, Ben Sims, Chris Liberator,
Miss Djax, ViperXXL, PET Duo, Sandy Warez, Boris S, Sven Wittekind,
Robert Natus - just to name a few.
On his way Proton played a lot at parties in abandoned houses, barns
and factorys and also the Clubs of his hometown Cologne, Germany
(Artheater, Bogen2, Sensor Club, Gloria, Gebäude 9, Kunstwerk) and in
2009 at the Butan Club in Wuppertal (Hart aber Herzlich).
2008 he already had a gig and lots of fun at Tundra, the biggest baltic
electronic music festival, where his curiosity for crowds in foreign
countrys awoke. Gigs in Rome (Colocon Circus, EKOrulez), Barcelona
(Guerilla Basement), London (Hard Party Production) and Vilnius
(Blitzkrieg IV) followed and there are more to come.
Takomo (Audiogore, Urban Graffiti)
http://myspace.com/tak0m0
Takomo is a music production unit formed by Pekka Kokkonen and Otto Hassinen,
two fine Finnish young men from Finland. Their roots lie somewhere in dark
and futuristic drum'n'bass of the late 90's, but since starting out in 2002
the two have gotten their hands dirty with the various flavours of breakbeat and dubstep.
The boys have been releasing music on labels like Fusetrax, Botchit Breaks,
Trans:verse and Destructive recordings and those releases have been supported
by the likes of Annie Nightingale, Tayo, Jay Cunning and Baobinga.
Recently their track was picked by Mr No Hands to be the "breaks tune of the month" for Mixmag UK.
One could describe their music with words such as cold and futuristic
without being too wrong. Takomo's productions usually balance somewhere
in between dark and light, with emphasis on hard hitting beats and basslines,
but also on detailed atmospherics you can literally sink into. Sometimes
the nerds also crawl out from their bedroom studios to provide a careful
selection of breaks and dubstep, with a touch of electro, techno and glitch.
Trisector (Med School, Science Hki)
http://myspace.com/trisectorfi
At the tender age of 12, Otto Hassinen aka Trisector was creating music
way beyond his years. Influenced by the sounds of The Prodigy,
The Chemical Brothers and LTJ Bukem he was already experimenting with
all styles of electronic music using samples and tracker software.
After a voyage of musical discovery taking him through the realms of
punk rock, indie, dub techno and IDM, Otto quickly found himself primarily
listening to and creating d&b. However, still fascinated by a wide variety
of music, he unleashed his first release in 2004 as one half of Finnish
breakbeat/dubstep duo Takomo. Aided by DJ support from breakbeat heavyweights
Annie Nightingale and Tayo, nine Takomo vinyl releases followed on labels such as Botchit.
It wasn't until the back end of 2007 that Otto rekindled his relationship
with drum & bass and began redeveloping his sound under the name Trisector.
His production is now as calculated and complex as the mathematical theorem
from which he gets his d&b alias. He quickly caught the attention of Blu Mar Ten,
Muffler, Resound, Fanu, Asc and Physics before his music reached the ears
of Chris Goss from Hospital Records.
In the beginning of 2009 Trisector released his debut 12" on Med School
containing tracks called "Morning Rain" / "Structured Light". He also has music
lined up for release on labels like Levitated, Lightless and Vampire, and he's
keeping busy in his bedroom studio working on new tracks and also collaborations
with different artists as well as on fresh Takomo material.
The future is looking bright and busy for this young Finnish broken beat enthusiast.
