Man From Earth, my tenth studio album, is the first “Jori Hulkkonen” album not released on the now defunct F communications. How will this change of label affect my sound? Is this the end of ballads, jazz and ambient? Of course not -not even for me - but the album is a deliberate (as in not forced) departure from the bedroom vibes with focus on jams for the dance crowds. Recorded at my alppIVhouz studios, most of the tracks were intended for 12″ singles so they are not album tracks as such, therefore the album is maybe not as coherent and subtle as some of my previous efforts. But what it may lack in atmospheric synthpads, “scandinavian mooddesign” and social commentary it makes up in catchy basslines, sizzling hihats and semi-danceable tracks.
