OFFICIAL BIO
Regarded upon his 2006 arrival as a promising beatmaker looming in the shadows of J Dilla, Madlib, waterfalls and Dabrye, Steven Ellison -- known as Flying Lotus -- nullified all comparisons only two years later with Los Angeles. On that album, his first of five for the Warp label, Ellison distilled a uniquely crisp, spasmodic, and heady sound with elements of hip-hop, avant-garde jazz, IDM, and dubstep. While the abovementioned producers fueled Ellison, he had also been excited as a youngster by the '90s West Coast rap classics that combined programming and live instrumentation. His sound continued to develop as he put his own twist on the approach, recording with a crop of jazz musicians including the indispensable likes of bassist Thundercat and strings master Miguel Atwood-Ferguson. This process began with the turbulent 2010 set Cosmogramma and peaked in terms of acclaim in 2014 with You're Dead!, which crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 and spawned the Kendrick Lamar collaboration "Never Catch Me," a Grammy nominee for Best Dance Recording. Ellison devoted a few years to various forms of film work and the operation of his revered Brainfeeder label, and returned in 2019 with Flamagra, his second consecutive album to top Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart.

Japan-born Finnish composer and singer-songwriter Jukio Kallio makes music that leaps between intimate minimal pop to life affirming ambient compositions and diverse world-building soundtracks. Kallio's widely recognized distinct sound in video games and prolific personal production hails from his cozy studio in a corner of a small forest in Helsinki.

Soundtracks of the massive hit game 'Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout', along with BAFTA-nominated 'Minit' (2018) and 'Nuclear Throne' (2015), show his ability to craft diverse and instantly reconizable musical identities.

'Kuvankaunis' is Kallio's second solo album. His Finnish vocals that explore sexuality with a rare vulnerability, catchy pop melodies and minimalistic production with lush guitars and drum machines take Kallio's sound to a completely new level. Two of the singles 'Kevyenä leijuvana' and 'Kuun Laulut' instantly hit Finnish national radio waves and was added to some of the top Spotify playlists at release.

When not dreaming up new melodies in the studio, Kallio entertains his partner and newborn baby with a guitar and a dance.
