Music from and inspired by Finnish sketch com­edy shows Pult­ti­bois and Man­it­bois. Might have some added value for Finns but cer­tainly you’ll be able to enjoy the mix on it’s own! The music here ranges from the years 1985 to 1990. A melt­ing pot of delight­ful new jack swing, hip-house, breaks, funk and house with dis­tinc­tive Pirkka-Pekka Petelius-style, who is widely known as a reg­gae enthusiast.

Musi­ikkia ja vaikut­teita sket­sis­ar­joista Pult­ti­bois ja Man­it­bois. Mukana myös muita saman­henkisiä biisejä. Hymy­i­lyt­tävää ja raa­joja liikut­tavaa meininkiä. Sar­jat sisäl­sivät aikanaan paitsi mieleen­painu­via hokemia, myös ajanko­htaista musi­ikkia eri gen­reistä. Pirkka-Pekka mitä helevettiä?

Jatkamme, saamme ken­ties elää.

2011 — the future? 2 weeks already into new year. So yes­ter­day I jammed a bit and before mid­day today got it made. Mexxed up in Rovaniemi. One take, live, wax, semi impro­vised. With a human feel (= some errors in the sys­tem called beat matching).

Mix by Japan­ese turntable vir­tu­oso DJ Sniff. Techno tracks played at 33rpm + var­i­ous hip-hop cuts. The guy is per­form­ing at Äänen Lumo –fes­ti­val (Charm of Sounds), Helsinki this sat­ur­day together with David Toop. Don’t know exactly what to expect but should be interesting.

DJ Sniff — Slow (57:07) (VBR)

djsniff.com

Over­load of syn­co­pated drum machines and syn­thetic bag­pipe sounds — might be too heavy for some to bear! This mixtape’s a true gem for any­one inter­ested of techno halay since it’s hard to find that sorta music first place. I have no fur­ther idea of what it is all about — besides it being party music I guess. And also that it might be Kur­dish stuff.

Oh sure of course duh how could I almost for­get: this is once again a liv­ing proof of the con­nec­tion between dance style and cer­tain music. Think also about Detroit ghet­totech & jit­ting, Chicago juke & footwerk, and Los Ange­les jerk & jerk­ing (kinda poor exam­ples since they’re west­ern music — other exam­ples might be some South-African vari­ants of house music + cer­tain dance styles/moves and obvi­ously reg­gae­ton. I need to inves­ti­gate more).
