Sami Koivikko: "Pääjääsä"
Spectral Sound | SPC-41 | 12"/digital | 17 October 2006
A1. Pääjääsä
B1. Dore
B2. Pientare
On his Spectral debut "Pääjääsä", Finnish tech-house prodigy Sami Koivikko -- veteran of labels Shitkatapult and Festplatten -- flirts with disco in his roiling rhythms and drops deep, foreboding electro basslines that dare you not to dance.
The A-side bounces playfully while something quite sinister hides underneath, slowly emerging from the darkness as the track unfurls. "Dore" offers straight-up techno disco bliss, spattering glitches on its rhythmic canvas, and "Pientare" weaves plenty of textures into its driving beat, from a vaguely industrial bass buzz to a cavernous chiming melody, with the clever fusion of old- and new-school that gives Koivikko his own consistently strong voice.
