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.
