Kirkkaan ja timmin kuulosta settiä! ton vinkuvan soundin kanssa tekisin vielä töitä, kenties etsisin sille aisaparin jonka kanssa veivata

@josumammi debuts on SURFACE as ‘Mrio’ with his Un’altra EP. It might be the most brilliant selection of compositions that we’ve had the privilege to release to this day. Lead by the magician with classical background, Un'altra takes you to an unforgettable journey filled with colours and melodic sensations. Two of Mrio’s original tracks are joined with two luminous remixes by local artists Aki Himanen and Severi Laine. ‘Un’altra’ gives the listener a wholesome experience we are proud to present as our 13th release.

What could be said about @akihimanen 's masterful interpretation of the title track ‘Un’altra’? It is difficult to even start describing this beautiful piece of musical art. The versatile jazz musician combines elements from his background as a trumpet player and a skillful producer of electronic music. The atmosphere created by this remix could be described as taking a stroll in a fantasy forest or it could very well be the score of a scene from an upcoming critically acclaimed film classic. We are thrilled to get a talent of this level to join the SURFACE artists.

When the concept of remixing these beautiful original tracks came up, naturally SURFACE’s household name @severilaine came to mind. With a more club-like approach to Mrio’s ‘Reggette’, Severi shows his ability to fill the dance floor with the bass heavy yet soothing rework of the original. In addition to being loyal to the original track, Severi takes a more raw approach to this remix while respecting the beautiful melody composed by Josu Mämmi.

From the EP Josu Mämmi - Evo2
(SRE 024, Super Life Records 2018)

Josu Mämmi delivers the next instalment of his three EP series about evolution. Here his music has evolved more towards classic minimal house and haunting electro sounds. 
The opening track ‘Hunches’ is designed for the club but offers an illuminating experience when listened with headphones due to it’s percussively manipulated binaural field recordings. 
The next track ‘Benefactor’ continues with main focus on futuristic sound design and rhythms while bringing a hint of dub into the mix. 
EP’s last track ‘Constructive State’ brings back the four on the floor feeling beneath the deep fabric of continually varying percussions and sound design ear candy.

'Granules' is single from the album 
Aki Himanen / Aleksi Kinnunen -SCAPES I
Release date: 28.02.2020

Scapes I
Aki Himanen and Aleksi Kinnunen are Finnish musicians who both have a strong background in jazz and electronic music. Their debut album Scapes I is a fresh and dark combination of these two genres in which theyʼve been exploring opportunities for collective improvisation with machines.
The basic idea of the album was to create something new out of generative music techniques in a way that musicians and machines can improvise and interact together as equally as possible. Throughout the album, the machines have been programmed not only to take impulses from the trumpet and drums, but also to give their own suggestions to the musicians.
The result of this combination is a moody, dark, futuristic, unpredictable and organic record which is full of cinematic soundscapes. All the tracks are almost like movie scenes from the Scandinavian landscapes. Together all the synthesizers, drum machines, lyrical trumpet melodies and organic jazzy beats form a very hypnotic blend full of mental images.
Thereʼs also saxophonist Tapani Rinne featuring in one track.

The latest release, 'Dawn Drops' EP from Berlin-based imprint Jazz-o-Tech, comes as a collaboration between two Finnish artists Aki Himanen and Aleksi Kinnunen. Both Himanen and Kinnunen are jazz musicians and techno producers, so this project found a perfect home in Jazz-o-Tech.

PREMIERE: Aki Himanen & Aleksi Kinnunen - Dawn Drops (Polygonia Remix)[Jazz-o-Tech]

This EP is a collaboration between finnish artists Aki Himanen (trumpet, electronics) and Aleksi Kinnunen (drums) with remixes from PEG and Polygonia, and again fuses both jazz and techno sensibilities to come up with superbly forward looking and sleek
new sounds.

Aki Himanen and Aleksi Kinnunen are jazz musicians and techno producers who com- bine jazz‘s spontaneity and electronic music‘s dark soundscapes. Using generative techniques and interacting machines, they have been working together since 2019 and released debut album Scapes earlier in 2020. Now they are back with more of their cinematic sound and dystopian landscapes on this fine new EP.

The opener ‚Dawn Drops ‚is a lush piece that sweeps you off your feet with suspensory synths and floating sax lines rising out into a one sky. Rubbery drums roll below to keep you tethered to a grover and the whole thing is a luxuriant and soothing piece. The beautifully dark ‚Plastic Rain‘ builds on live drums and pulsing bass, with sombre trumpets bringing a forlorn mood as hits and rim shots are scattered through the air.

A club-ready remix of this one comes from Spanish techno artist PEG, an associate of the Dynamic Reflection label who fuses techno, ambient, dark beats and techno old and new into his music. He flips the track into a much more driving and deep techno tune that is designed to get you into a state of hypnosis as it races late into the night on spooky synths and powerful kicks.

Last of all, Munich based artist and musician Lindsey Wang aka Polygonia steps up. She is a master of rhythm and composition and brings this to a haunting and serene techno track laced with ambient mysticism and subtle pads that melt your mind.

This is another high class coming together from the worlds of jazz and techno to form something utterly new and exciting.

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.
