Travelling Man has been part of my inner head jukebox since I first head it, caught myself humming it almost every day!

dry ice ep is great.

Wheres the Hiphop EP with a cup of tea on the front gone DKSTR?!
Aand, has the bear on IR been redrawn at all since you first released it? It seems.... different.

Thanks! I had hidden that EP & its followup Some Places from my Bandcamp for some time since they are kinda different from stuff I do / play live nowadays! But they are back online now:) I'm proud of them both, but they were really hard to play live in meaningful way + nobody was asking me for gigs of them heheh. I guess these two albums pushed me back to simpler things and to skweee, so they are still important to me.

Lazy Days:

Some Places:

And the bear is definetly still the same haha!

what was the gear list for the dry ice ep? super curious!

I did most of it with MPC, some c64 samples for drums, simple waveform samples for synths,  some Microkorg here and there for some pads etc. Also I used Nanostudio quite a lot to do the skeletons of the songs, I have Akai Synthstation 25, so I did bunch of stuff with it while out smoking cigs hehe. I love Nanostudios simple synths, easy to make really crunchy sounding 2 osc synths. Whole thing was edited in Ableton Live.

...Aaand here it is:

Poisonous Gases

..only thing is that the big 2 do only wax and big digital mp3-shops (Boomkat, beatport, etc).

Some others with maybe more Netlabelish stuff (aka bandcamp etc.) :

Mässy Records (including one release of mine)

Raha & Tunteet

Tiburoni

Ancient Robot

Losonofono

Bunch of others too. Why they are looking for labels?

I played I/O on January and everybody were super friendly, lot different vibe than in european shows, but in a cool way.

And I was surprised how many people there were on considering it was monday night, after some huge blizzard and the venue didnt have license to sell alcohol at that point hehe.

Not really related but figured I'll just add stuff here and change the title when new release comes. I upped my Weekly Treats contribution + couple of remixes for 8GB, Center Of The Universe and Radio Skotvoid. CHECK IT OUT.

Isn't the transportation system so good in all of Europe that you can be in any part and still have easy access to anywhere else making all of Europe feel as if it's one country?  This summer will be my first time there and that's what people are telling me anyway............    ........... ............

Yes and no. As my short stay on Canada, I realized the distances in EU are supershort, opposed to that people are taking like 6 hour bus trips to other cities in Canada. But still it costs reasonable amounts of money to travel around in Europe.

This sounds pretty awesome, apart STDs but hey, some good some bad.

Home setup. Gig setup is MPC+Midi Monotribe+one other synth that cycles.

Thingy in blue box is Meeblip Micro.

Nice setup, I loved the set you did at Recursion Demoparty !!!
btw is this Track Mute or Sequence change mode on the MPC ?!

Thanks! In the pic, its Track Mute mode!
