Club Telex (Tampere, Finland)

Kuva
There’s Bonus Beats , a new compilation from Cold Blow Records that brings up quite an onslaught of memories for me. Inspired by this collection of rare tracks of Finnish electro, I decided to write a bit about what it meant personally for me, back in the day. This is not any exhaustive report of the millennial Finnish electro scene (I hope to write something more about it in the future, though), but a sort of text about our own personal contribution to it all, here where we live. Be forewarned, though: it's not purely about electro but also some other things that all bore the indistinct name "underground". Namely, it's of those times when we had our own Club Telex at Tampere’s Yo-Talo (Student Union House), and also hanging out as punters (sometimes also as guest DJs) at the electro parties in Helsinki (remember Helsinki Turbo ?) and Turku. Some of the dramatis personae (not in any order of preference): Rikos Records (the defunct cult label from J...

JR29: Vaiettu rykmentti (2025)

Kuva
94-minuuttinen JR29: Vaiettu rykmentti -dokumenttifilmi sai ensi-iltansa 27.4. 2025 Kaustisella. Leikkasin tämän elokuvan, tein muun jälkituotannon (ja jonkin verran äänipuoltakin, josta vastasi pääasiallisesti Markku Riipi ), ja toimin lisäksi kuvakerrontaa rakentavana arkistotoimittajana. Elokuva on toteutettu paljolti samalla työryhmällä, jonka kanssa tehtiin Marokon kauhu – Dokumenttielokuva suomalaisesta taistelijasta (2024). 2025 Trailer (CC: English subtitles) Elokuva on Keski-Pohjanmaalta jatkosotaan kootun Jalkaväkirykmentti 29 tarina. Rykmentti eteni veristen taistelujen kautta Laatokan ja Aunuksen Karjalassa Petroskoihin, jonne se saapui lokakuussa 1941, ja jatkoi aina asemasotavaiheeseen asti. Dokumentissa käydään läpi paitsi taistelujen kulku, myös sodan merkitys inhimillisellä tasolla. Sotaretki ei sujunut ilman kitkaa rykmentin komentajan Paavo Susitaipaleen ja tämän esimiehen, eversti "Kylmä-Kalle" Heiskasen välillä. Susitaival oli sitä mie...

Jansky Noise - Born of Black Light (2025)

Kuva
There's a new album from Jansky Noise (a.k.a. Andy MacGregor), called Born of Black Light (February 2025), now available at Bandcamp . Back in 1996, Jansky Noise helped to set up with Leyland James Kirby the V/Vm Test label and worked very closely on numerous projects on the label. V/Vm was known for its plunderphonic copyright-baiting releases, turning familiar pop tunes into some chaotic collages of noise frenzy. Jansky also collaborated with Speedranch (a.k.a. Paul Richard). As Speedranch^Jansky Noise they released for Planet Mu (a label run by Mike “µ-Ziq” Paradinas) the album Mi^grate (2003), also material for such imprints as Leaf, FatCat Records and Hot Air. Furthermore, there was some solo material from Jansky Noise for Vukzid and Digital Vomit, then the 2011 album Slow Order V2 for El Perro Rojo (“The base of the album evolves around an '80s synth classic”, claims Discogs). After that there was no new music in years. Had aliens perhaps abducted Mr. MacGr...
