Biography
Henrik Kantola, aka Chantola journeyed into the world of electronic music at the start of the millennium. Inspired by some of the top jocks and a self driving passion, this young Finnish talent began to produce in 2003. Beginning with Acid Pro and a hardware sequencer, Chantola played with basic loops and short tracks. As the results came, so did his hunger to buy newer equipment and software.
It wasnt until 2007 that Chantola really found his break. Teaming up with a Helsinki based producer Jussi Vuorivirta, he formed a duo. Spiritus & Asper was born and full tunes began to materialize. In December 2008, their first completed production Passion was snapped up by Oulu based Wavedata Records. As the momentum flowed, so did the label signings. With tunes set for release on Black Hole Recordings and Baroque, this young duo seem to be doing something right.
They describe their style as being versatile. If its Techno, House, Tech-House, Deep-House or Progressive Spiritus & Asper can do it. 2012 promises to be an important year for the duo as the expectations rise. Keep your ears pealed As you will be sure to hear their tunes working their way into a whole host of DJ sets.
