Muutos Stream/Buy: Amuri Tekno - Mysteeri @ EABE Bandcamp / 12" vinyl Being the first-ever vinyl release for Amuri Tekno, Mysteeri marks a milestone for the Tampere duo of Miika Salo and Miska Väänänen whose career pHinnWeb has followed nearly since the project's inception. Previously Amuri Tekno have been featured on digital releases for such Finnish record labels as Kontact Records, Spin Records and Turun Levytehdas. Featuring only four tracks but with a duration of 37 minutes altogether, Mysteeri is not merely an EP but actually the first album proper of Amuri Tekno. Amuri Tekno have absorbed influences from several different sources, reflecting Salo and Väänänen's lengthy path not only as creators in their own right but also as connoisseu...

General Electrix are Olli Koponen , a seasoned DJ familiar from Helsinki clubs, and producer Santtu XL , previously known from such monikers as his solo project, Xlter, and Rad (together with Koponen), all released on the duo’s earlier label, Pollination Records . General Electrix was launched in 2024. So far there has been four vinyl EPs on their own Secret Order label.

The EP kicks off with the title track, 'Year of the Dragon', with a nagging one-note organ riff and crunchy bassline set to a hypnotic ma...

Amuri Tekno are Miika Salo and Miska Väänänen, hailing from Tampere, Finland. Their music is a homegrown blend of Detroit-inspired techno, tech-house, acid house, IDM, and ambient. They have released on such Finnish record labels as Kontact Records, Spin Records and Turun Levytehdas. They are both of the generation who was coming of age during the halcyon days of the early 1990s techno music and rave culture explosion which spread also to some more peripheral regions outside the obvious Detroit-London-Berlin axis, and furthermore, spawned such new musical genres as IDM and drum & bass. For some years now pHinnWeb has been a big fan of Amuri Tekno's music, so it was time to find out about their origins, ideas and views. For the interview, often accompanied by a hearty laughter, they share their insights not only about their own productions and instruments but also of being long-time music fans, discussing their favourite artists, labels and records, Tampere’s local scen...
