HEALIUM
The acid-techno band called Healium consists of two members, Jouni Raninen and Tomi Kesäniemi. Coming straight from the middle-Finland's beating heart, Jyväskylä, the band has made numerous performances all around Finland, from small cellars and club-parties to large mass gatherings like Koneisto.
Since the beginning, the focus of the band has been on playing the music live, close to the audience. All tracks in the liveset are composed and played based on loops and short riffs, so the music is always intuitively morphing itself to have a fresh vibe to it. Tweeking 303-basslines are of course the basis of the sound, but groove-laden drumloops laced with soulful samples guarantee an interesting and always entertaining acid-bath, sure to shake some booty on the dancefloor and make the purists in the bar nod their heads on and on.
