Thanks for asking. This is first EP for a while its now 2023 and I think my last single came out 2020. I have had lots of time at the studio in Ylivieska and just decide to have fun with sequencers, samplers and TR-909. One of them most important aspects in my productions is bricolage process where I sample something mostly random and make it a part of something new. I like to keep instruments and techniques as simple as possible for maintain vibes. Its very easy to get derailed these days and sometimes you just have to get back to basics.

It’s a song about keeping things simple the right way. As always most inspiring part for me is playing funky basslines. I could make forever alternative basslines. I'm always looking new added harmonies and unexpected ways to make bassline interact with chords and disco samples. But I get easily lost and its a reminder, do me right.. So its kind of journey to find best possible combination and that’s what keeping me coming back to disco house really, I love tech and techno stuff too. Also I rephrased vocoders from the main vocals which made contrast to the song which I liked very much. I hugely admire Mr. Oizo and Siriusmo with obvious classic Crydamoure and Roule label releases, those are my main musical influencers.

This song is gathered around mesmerising sample introduced at the beginning, I couldn’t describe what I had created and named project that way. I found it hilarious later that title is so naive and decide to go with that. What happened with sample was lucky accident, I sequenced Ensoniq ASR-X sampler with Roland TR-909 external instrument channel, as drum machine it was meant to play drum pattern but the sampler instrument was not suitable for receiving that specific percussive pattern, so yeah that turned to something which was unrecognizable but makes melodically sense. This song is one of my favourite ones for sure. Perfect example of bricolage process.

When remixing it’s important to reveal what is hidden with the song. Many times when examining parts you realise some ideas were actually not developed at all and that’s where I usually start. Im trying to make original song somehow better and put my own ingredients there. Same time its important to not being lost totally with the project so both parts the remixer and original artist are recognizable. Not every song is suitable for my remixing style either so there is a selection process. Most difficult projects are too similar styles to me and songs which are absolutely polished from beginning to end. You have to destroy them first before you can rebuild them again.

I like to go nature hiking and retreat, seeking some mind peacefulness. There is terrific amount of forest in my country. I like to do it both with my family and between studio sessions as my studio is literally inside woods middle of nothing. It works as a balancing force and its very easy to find place with absolutely quiet. So I get my ears and brains some resting. My latest thing is farming but Im very new with that and results are not very convincing yet.

What comes to synths It’s really best from every world, it is that simple. When I found something modern that is working and sounding better than vintage I’ll go with that, it needs constant rechecking and revaluing things of course. Not that it has happened lot with synths a lot but there is no absolutely reason not to go with development just because wanting to holding on with past. Most of my favourite synths are from 70’s and 80’s but some others are from this decade, sequencers are hugely better nowadays. There is only one aspect I’m purist, I don’t like anything extra, just simple device with simple purpose. I found more interesting music from vinyls than internet so I keep collecting 12” for that reason, I don’t know why but for some reason there is less preselection with vinyl music and I like to be surprised. Good old tape machine is just beautiful thing they don’t do they like they used to.

What do you mean if I could, I have some superpowers! I can move people by my thoughts.
