If I Was Gone single is a part of “Drifted”, an upcoming EP inspired by experiences of separation and resignation during the year 2020.

SIN COS TAN 
Synth-pop duo Sin Cos Tan have three albums and EP, a host of packed-out festival appearances and a big dose of musical experience. Finnish duo consists of two already established musicians: 
producer-DJ Jori Hulkkonen (who has put his magical producer hands on works also with Tiga, Pet Shop Boys´ Chris Lowe, Jose Gonzalez...) and Juho Paalosmaa, songwriter and vocalist also from famous synth pop duo Villa Nah. 

Sin Cos Tan duo received huge international critical acclaim for their self-titled debut album and single “Trust” back in 2012, including a nomination for ‘Critics Choice of Album of The Year’ at the Finnish Emma-Awards. The boys chose not to rest on their laurels and released only 10 months later their successful follow-up album ‘Afterlife’ including international hit single Limbo. Third album "Blown Away" was released fall 2014 with singles "Love Sees No Colour" and "Lifestyle" and "Heart Of America" and EP “Smile Tomorrow Will Be Worse” came out 2015. Then they decided to rest, but now 2021 they´re back again with new single “If I Was Gone” and releasing upcoming EP autumn 2021. They will perform at Kesärauha Festival in Turku in August 2021 and it will be their first performance in almost 6 years. No shortage of drama, intensity nor sheer pop perfection – this duo delivers. Tenfold. 

From their self-titled debut album in 2012 onwards, Juho Paalosmaa and Jori Hulkkonen have established a classic partnership within the duo-format, great songwriting and cool synth sounds. Sin Cos Tan´s track "Sooner Than Now" from their debut album (2012) was featured in HBO series 'Halt and Catch Fire' a worthy successor to Breaking Bad and Mad Men. It was chosen to series by music supervisor Thomas Golubic (Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Better Call Saul etc.).

SIN COS TAN - If I Was Gone (radioedit)

SIN COS TAN: AFTERLIFE                                       
Hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed debut in 2012, Sin Cos Tan has kept busy recording their sublime follow-up, AFTERLIFE (out 25th October 2013). New album will be released only some 10 months after the debut. The first single from the second album is LIMBO, out 20th September.

Doused in both colour and darkness, AFTERLIFE sees the Sin Cos Tan duo of musical omnipresence Jori Hulkkonen and singer-songwriter Juho Paalosmaa plunging headlong into a netherworld of electropop. The follow-up offers a slightly different angle on the genre, adding variety, organic elements and a more thematically profound approach than the debut. Hearts are broken, spirits awoken... And even Casey Spooner of Fischerspooner makes an appearance.

”Joskus vaan tulee joku joka vie jalat alta. Puhdistaa sun elämän niin kuin sade.” - Malla

written by: MALLA ja Jarkko Kumpulainen

Production: MALLA & Jarkko Kumpulainen

Mixing: MALLA, Jarkko Kumpulainen, Kalifornia-Keke

Mastering: Tuomas Salmela / Phonogenic audio

Malla was already on superb form on her debut album, embracing house and disco in a way that sounds as natural as it is elegant. Malla found a new role as a dancefloor truth-teller, infusing house and disco epics with thrilling expressions of desire and self-knowledge. Malla produced her debut album with Jarkko Kumpulainen. The pair have minted a great, idiosyncratic take on disco-house.

Malla: Sade

MALLA: FRESKO 

Debyyttialbumillaan huomiota laajalti kerännyt kotimaisen housen ja discon ajankohtaisin artisti Malla julkaisee toisen albuminsa 10. helmikuuta 2023. Malla jatkaa aktiivista keikkailuaan alkuvuodesta ilmestyvän toisen albuminsa myötä, Tavastialla juhlitaan virallisia levyjulkkareita poikkeuksellisen visuaalisen erikoiskeikan merkeissä 11.2.2023!

Solina Recordsille kiinnitetty artisti/näyttelijä Malla Malmivaara julkaisee taiteilijanimellä Malla koukuttavaa ja taitavasti tehtyä discon, housen ja suomenkielisen elektropopin sekoitusta. Malla on kuulaasta, kevyestä ja sopivan utuisesta klubisoundista tunnettu suomenkielinen artisti, joka ei todellakaan kalpene ulkomaisten verrokkiensa rinnalla. Mallan musiikissa valot, varjot ja niiden keskinäinen syke leikkii abstraktisti ja on yksinkertaisen tarttuvassa muodossaan puhtaasti musiikkia musiikin tuoman nautinnon vuoksi. Mallan musiikin inspiraation reseptiikkana on sähköiset juuret, jotka ammentavat analogisesta syntetisaattoreiden ja rumpukoneiden maailmasta ja suurkaupunkien klubikulttuurista, yhdistyneenä vähäeleiseen ja suoraan lyyriseen ilmaisuun. Juureva, tyylejä sekoitteleva rytminen tuotanto yhdistyy melodiseen ilmaisuvoimaan. House-biitin, raukean discon ja sofistikoituneen elektropopin risteyksessä soljuvat kappaleet soivatkin sulassa sovussa niin klubeilla kuin radiossakin.

Mallan debyyttialbumi ilmestyi huhtikuussa 2021 ja se on poikkeuksellinen julkaisu kotimaisessa musiikissa jolle ei löydy kotimaista verrokkia. Mallan albumille on sadellut ylistäviä arvioita ja se näkyi monissa "Vuoden 2021 parhaat" –listauksissa mm. Helsingin sanomien kulttuuritoimituksen valinnoissa sekä YleXillä. Malla oli vuonna 2021 ja 2022 Radio Helsingin soitetuimpia, soiden myös erinomaisesti muilla radiokanavilla kotimaassa ja ulkomailla. Mallan keikat herättivät alusta alkaen laajalti kiinnostusta ja keikkapaikkojen sekä festivaalien tanssilattiat ympäri Suomen ovat sittemmin täyttyneet yleisöstä.

Levyjulkkareita juhlitaan lauantaina 11.2.2023 Helsingin legendaarisella Tavastialla. Luvassa on erityislaatuinen ilta, sillä Tavastialle Malla tuo mukanaan näyttävän audiovisuaalisen laser- ja valoshown.

Mallan voi nähdä keikoilla ja julkkarikiertueella seuraavasti:
7.1. Lumina, Tampere
27.-28.1. Bättre Folk I Fjällen, Pyhätunturi
11.2. Tavastia, Helsinki
16.2. MARS, Rytmikorjaamo, Seinäjoki

7.4. Lutakko, Jyväskylä
21.4. Sammiosali, Lahti

Solano + Profettes: Like This 
SOL-047
ISRC: FISR61600002
Out on 29.2.2016

The first single from the upcoming debut EP (vinyl/digi)

‘Solano + Profettes' is a five-piece group from three Finnish cities: Helsinki, Tampere and Seinäjoki. Solano is a minuscule part of a Finnish town, said to be "the Milano of Seinäjoki". The core of the group actually grew up there and Samuli Kukkola, Janiv Oskár, Jokke Olavi have their roots in italo and techno. The guys added a couple of sequin covered all-stars /songbirds, namely Minna Sihvonen and Ringa Manner, who, if put together have been involved in some 20 Finnish bands over the years, and so the music evolved into synth pop. 'Like this' is the first track to be released from an upcoming self-titled EP, out on April 2016. The EP (Release date 15.4. by Solina Records) showcases characterful songwriting, with a strong sense of vocal harmonies. Monotonic beat loops, echoing layers of synthesizers and four talented singers make the music dark but susceptible pop with a light and airy avantgarde grip.

"50% Scott Walker & ABBA, 50% Enya & Giorgio Moroder"

Solano + Profettes: Like This (first single from the upcoming debut EP)

VILLA NAH: LOVE CHANCE - From the upcoming album "Ultima"
ISRC: FISR61600024

Villa Nah is back after a five-year hiatus as the critically acclaimed synth duo returns to live form with their new material, of which earlier on Spring 2016 released ‘Stranger‘ gives us a sneak peek. Love Chance is the second single from the upcoming second album “Ultima”. Duo’s distinctive sound is filled with ageless synth pop doused in dreamy synthesizers and Juho Paalosmaa’s even more forlorn vocals.

Villa Nah´s Juho & Tomi: “For the summer of '16, we wanted to serve a sunny slice of romance, the sweet kiss of a Love Chance. With ripples of synths and sheer optimism, this is our soundtrack for those July afternoons.”

Villa Nah is a Finnish pop duo consisting of Juho Paalosmaa and Tomi Hyyppä. Villa Nah's sound is heavily influenced by 1980's synthpop. Producer/DJ Jori Hulkkonen co-produced the band's debut album Origin and it was released in Finland in March 2010 by Sähkö Recordings's sub label Keys of Life. The album reached number seven on the Official Finnish Album List. 

The East Helsinki pairing of Juho Paalosmaa and Tomi Hyyppä consolidated their position by supporting OMD on their UK Autumn tour. However, the two childhood friends went quiet afterwards and Juho Paalosmaa formed SIN COS TAN with ‘Origin’  co-producer Jori Hulkkonen;

SIN COS TAN’s three acclaimed albums to date, ‘Sin Cos Tan’ , ‘Afterlife’  and ‘Blown Away’ , plus their most recent EP ‘Smile Tomorrow Will Be Worse’ , filled the void left by VILLA NAH. But the Finnish duo are now back!

Live dates are planned for this summer, for example next one at Flow Festival, Helsinki on Sunday 14.8.2016 while the new “Ultima” album is set to feature songs such as ‘Love Chance’ and ‘Stranger’.

M on artistitulokas, jonka musiikissa on erityisen vangitseva ja hieno omalaatuinen tunnelma. M-artistinimen takaa löytyy Kuhmosta lähtenyt ja nykyään Lahdessa asuva muusikko ja näyttelijä Minja Koski sekä tuotannosta ja ohjelmoinnista vastaava helsinkiläinen Miikka Ahlman. Persoonallisen tulokkaan debyyttialbumi ilmestyy syyskuun 22. päivä.

M kuulostaa sopivan oudolta yhdistelmältä elektronista poppia, kaihoiskelmää ja kansanmusiikkia. Sanoituksissa on kuultavissa muun muassa Leevi and the Leavingsin kappaleiden perintö. M:n kappaleet säveltää ja sanoittaa Minja Koski. Tuotannosta ja ohjelmoinnista vastaa Miikka Ahlman ja muut muusikot ovat Simo Saukkola, Jussi-Pekka Parviainen ja Aleksi Kaufmann.

Yhtye myös keikkailee tiiviisti koko loppuvuoden uuden albumin myötä.

When In Doubt Repeat These Words
Single
SOL-082
Release: May 4th 2018

Written by Ringa Manner

When In Doubt Repeat These Words

The song is a musical safe space. Meant to invite everybody in and keep all the shit out. To summon strength to gradually make the surrounding world a better place, but also to remind us, that we are all beautiful and ok as such: unfinished, imperfect, fragile and faint. When In Doubt Repeat These Words is the first single from The Hearing’s upcoming third album, Demian. It gives a strong outline of the emotional landscape of the album, and of the artist herself.

When In Doubt Repeat These Words

The Hearing - When In Doubt Repeat These Words

"TRUST" 

- "The Best Song Of The Year 2012" (Rumba music magazine)

SIN COS TAN is the band of ace producer Jori Hulkkonen and VILLA NAH’s Juho Paalosmaa. Having worked together previously on VILLA NAH’s superb debut album ‘Origin’ and on the track ‘Re: Last Year’ from Hulkkonen’s own ‘Man From Earth’ solo record, a further artistic union was almost inevitable. They made their live debut at Helsinki’s Flow Festival this summer 2012.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raB4PZfRb5I&feature=player_embedded

The superbly pulsating ‘Trust’ showcases the pair’s manifesto to be “a synthesized duo of great promise, broken dreams, and long nights”. Add in sweeping drifts, sharp widescreen cimbalom, danceable but subtle beats and emotive vocals tinged with sadness from Paalosmaa, what more could you want? ‘Trust’ could possibly be the song of 2012…

So while VILLA NAH take a sabbatical and Hulkkonen wears yet another hat (other  monikers have included ZYNTHERIUS, ACID SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, KEBACID, DRUMMAN, STOP MODERNISTS and THE TANIA & JORI CONTINENTS!), SIN COS TAN is now the big hit! 

Debut single "Trust" was released 4th October 2012. 

Sin Cos Tan debut album was released worldwide November 2012

Juno Francis: Queen´s Athem
Single
SOL-113
April 24th 2020

Disco infused retro synth pop with a touch of nordic melancholy...

Juno Francis invites you to a Scandinavian landscape, where all seasons are joined by cold ocean kissed winds. A musical trip to the woods in Småland and the west coast town Göteborg.

Queen’s Anthem is a nostalgic swim in the memory river back to the roots in the north. A longing for moving back to a place left behind mixed with a thirst for exploring what might be hidden behind the next corner…


Juno Francis:

The lovechild of a 60s gentleman and an 80s lady.
Psychedelic and glamorous, haze and glitter, hypnotic and dramatic.
Her voice flow into your heart and melt it like ice in scotch. As you feel weak in your knees and faint out of pure love you land on his bed made out of silky smooth synth pads. Enjoy your interaction…
