General Electrix (FIN)

General Electrix are Olli Koponen and Santtu XL from Helsinki, Finland, both already seasoned veterans in local electronic dance music and club scene. The project was launched in 2024. So far there has been two vinyl EPs on their own Secret Order label. Their sound could be described as old school electro, frequently backed by a sturdy breakbeat. I don't think it's too far-fetched to find some elements of acid techno or IDM there, either. As there have been rumours of yet another electro revival looming in the horizon, these releases might well find their way to the turntables and record collections of the true connoisseurs.

General Electrix - Year of the Dragon EP

(SOFYI-1, Secret Order/FIN, 27 January 2025)

"After a long break in April 2024, two old friends returned to their studio in Helsinki, Finland. The emerging music appeared to be quite different from the duo’s previous work, so they felt a need to have a new name for the project. That’s how General Electrix was born. During the next months, a series of meaningful coincidences occurred. As a result four tracks found home on a new record label Secret Order."

1. General Electrix - 'Year of the Dragon'

2. General Electrix - 'Angel Swamp'

3. General Electrix - 'Fruit of the Bloom'

4. General Electrix - 'Return of Diesel'

General Electrix - Maze EP

(SOFYI-2, Secret Order/FIN, 16 June 2025)

"Once the first EP was finished, this double helix continued making new tracks or General Dance Music as they call it. See you in the maze?"

1. General Electrix - 'Maze'
