Combining folk, funk, and psych-rock into trippy experimental pop, multi-instrumentalist Jaako Eino Kalevi wove his own breed of weird, textural synth pop. Taking a slightly different approach with each release, he moved from the introspective dream pop of 2018's Out of Touch to more demented funk on the 2019 mini-album Dissolution.

Kalevi grew up in Jyväskylä, a city in central Finland. He began making music as a boy after discovering Dream Theater's prog-metal and hip-hop, teaching himself how to play guitar and use beat-making software before exploring reggae, disco, techno, and more. Kalevi issued a string of releases reflecting his omnivorous musical taste, including 2010's coldwave-inspired album Modern Life and 2013's hazy, fittingly named Dreamzone EP. The following year, he released the disco homage Yin Yang Theatre, an EP on DJ Tim Sweeney's Beats in Space label. His 2015 self-titled album arrived via the Domino imprint Weird World. Over the next two years, Jaakko Eino Kalevi played solo live dates across Europe and was asked to play on David Byrne's 2018 album American Utopia. He also stepped in to play with Belgian new wave outfit Aksak Maboul. 2017 saw him return to the studio to start work on his next album while also putting the finishing touches on his more synth-focused act Man Duo's debut Orbit. Kalevi's second album for Domino offshoot Weird World appeared the following year. Recorded in Helsinki and Berlin and featuring Kalevi playing all the instruments, Out of Touch saw him broadening the sound of his already eclectic, '80s-influenced pop. In 2019 he returned with the seven-song mini-album Dissolution. Funkier and more feral than his earlier work, the material on Dissolution was centered around spare dance rhythms and cold, spacy synth riffing. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Some listeners have reported experiences of levitation and astral projection while listening to Gorgette.
“Avenue du Soleil” was released in 2020 by Fantasy Fiction Records.
"La vie après la vie" was self released in 2024.

Earth’s magnetic north pole, which has been wandering faster than expected in recent years, has now crossed the prime meridian. Magnetic north has been lurching away from its previous home in the Arctic toward Siberia at a rate of about 34 miles (55 kilometers) a year over the past two decades. Earth’s magnetic field is produced by the churning of the planet’s iron outer core, which produces a complex, but largely north-south magnetic field. For reasons not entirely understood but related to the planet’s interior dynamics, the magnetic field is currently undergoing a period of weakening. That’s why magnetic north is drifting.

On the 21st of December in 2020, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, Saturn and Jupiter met on the sky aligned as one glowing spot known as The Great Conjuction. In the same day, Magnetic North launches its first track - a new sound piece created as joint action by two artists who had not previously made recordings together. 

Magnetic North is a Finish-Norwegian collaborative project born during the COVID-19 lockdown. While Earth's magnetic north pole will keep moving in a fast-paced rhythm, Magnetic North will launch new tracks on a regular basis, being a platform to bring Nordic and non-Nordic artists a little closer, at least for a short period of time. Magnetic North focuses on electronic music and sound pieces, and all the possible conjunction points between those two. Stay tuned for more.

All tracks and artist collaborations are handpicked by the Muscle Temple records and Blank Blank studio.
