phat mixture of dub & industrial sounds - 2021 re:issue

ltd to 400 copies

4 track live album

repress !!konstellaatio is another mika vainio masterpiece as his original alias Ø on the native label sähkö recordings that mika co-founded in 1993.

Ø aka mika vainio

mika visited the moog sound-lab in april 2015. he made one his last known solo studio recordings in the form of two vinyl sized side long pieces. entitled “lydspor” - danish for ‘soundtrack’. mika worked almost exclusively with the lab’s moog modular system 55.
this uk sound -lab instrument is the sole protoype model (containing several golden filters) of moog’s recent sold out reverse-engineered edition (55 units only) recreating the 1970’s classic.
on completion of his sessions mika announced ‘i could work with this machine for the rest of my life….i would need nothing else”.
a second moog session was planned but tragically mika died in an accident in april 2017, shortly after he had approved the vinyl mastering.
pressing on translucent vinyl.

“monstrance” is mika vainio & joachim nordwall’s first album together and was originally released june 2013 via touch (to:88). it consist of drone works and pulsating electronic minimalism but also guitar, acoustic elements, organs and metal percussion. it was recorded in einstürzende neubauten’s berlin studio during an intense session in early summer of 2010. “monstrance” is a place where vainio’s and nordwall’s backgrounds as musicians and composers meet, and something new and extremely powerful is born. something deep, raw and direct…

mika vainio and franck vigroux’s peau froide, le&#769,,,,ger soleil was a dense and complex record, a collection of sonic sculptures forged in the heavy tonal matter. it was the product of a lengthy creative process, articulated through studio sessions and live performances. the result was a huge amount of material that the duo actually decided to partition into more than one release, the album being the first in line. the new 6-tracker ep ignis makes for the first posthumous release from the two producers, after the untimely passing of vainio in 2017.

kantamoinen is perhaps the most intimately beautiful yet little known lp in mika vainio s Ø canon, bridging the gap between his classic ‘90s minimal techno productions - compiled in the vital metri and olento collections - and the project’s subsequent turn to more ambient, kosmic and dub wise dimensions in the coolly brilliant oleva and konstellaatio albums.

nice price deal !!! mika kalio (aka marcel jochmann labelowner of oppossum and alpaca) with a fantastic track incl. a fantastic abonne s becks & forks remix. on the flip another track by lucio & pep (ware)

re-issue of classic breathtaking hypnotic + unique sounding bleep techno.. in the vein of robert hood s minimal nation and the likes... must have

the first release in 8 years on emd. sublime electronic scapes with a poetic approach from the late mika vainio. vinyl only.

recorded in berlin at studio schwedenstrasse one day in june 2010. recording engineer: marco paschke. mixed and mastered by daniel karlsson in stockholm at elektronmusikstudion. mika vainio - electric guitar, processing, metallic percussion. joachim nordwall - electronics, electric bass guitar, metal objects, hammond organ, vibraphone.

finnish experimental electronic musician mika vainios first solo album for blast first sees him return to his classic power electronics/heavy beats approach that made pan sonic garner a worldwide reputation. the album developed from vainios recent live sets to make 10 tersely-titled tracks inspired by the shipping container industry.

mika vanios crystal clear sound with pieces from the former >atomit ep< plus the new >syväys<.

mika vainio, currently based in berlin, was one half of the minimal electronic duo pan sonic from finland, (the other half was ilpo väisänen). before starting pan sonic in beginning of the 90 s mika vainio has played electronics and drums as part of the early finnish industrial and noise scene. his solo works, under his own name and under aliases like Ø, are known for their analogue warmth and electronic harshness. be it abstract drone works or minimal avant techno, vainio is always creating unique, physical sounds.

all tracks written by mika vainio, except open up and bleed by iggy pop / james williamson. whereas previous works by mika vainio have utilized guitar life (… it eats you up) is the first to use the instrument as its primary sound source. a fascinating, sometimes disturbing and deeply personal work this new 10 track set bears all the hallmarks (exacting attention to detail of tone, rhythm and texture) of vainios previous works with some stunning surprises, such as his cover version of the stooges open up and bleed. tracks such as mining hark bark to the banging beat excesses of pan sonic, with crashed and and give us our daily humiliation and the opening in silence a scream takes a heart reveal a new intensity to vainios work and is yet another superb addition to his already brilliant catalogue

mika vainios four tracks on >vandal ep< show his preference for analogue working. he consequently develops a dynamic sound we all remember from pansonic, working himself from a rather abstract structure towards arrangements which more and more suit a club setting. straight beats, noise and the denial of the usual clicks&cuts elements are the ingredients for his contemporary version of electronic club music. the quality of his music will not only convince on the dancefloor but also on the home stereo. mikas passion for dynamics, reduction and industrial oscillates between these three cornerstones and what his sound stands for: being physical, raw and profound beyond all cliches.
