Mika Vainio - Behind The Radiators

Behind The Radiators by Mika Vainio

4...according to our on Wed 06 Aug, 2008.

Mika Vainio is sometimes known as half of Pan Sonic, a technoid sound manipulator of seriously revered proportions. He's got a 7" out on Touch, 'Behind The Radiators' which plays with your stuck record paranoias, it's got that glitch techno loop/fuzz/click thang going on like a Raster Noton "classic". Opening with a clicking locked groove overlaid with a rather ominous creeping wave of sound, kinda like a distant train klaxon trapped in erm.... a radiator. Philthy offers up a wasp trapped in the belly of a dying dog. Brett out-surreal's us all with "a fish attempting to assassinate the president of the USA" Weirdo.

Locked grooves

Mika Vainio continues the series of Touch Sevens, 7" vinyl-only releases, with this stunning record. The crackle... The fire of the analogue...

He has released 3 solo albums for Touch under his own name [Onko, 1997; Kajo, 2000 and In the Land of the `blind, One-Eyed is King, 2003. He is perhaps best known as part of the Finnish duo, Pan Sonic, and he also releases work as  for Finnish label, Sahko Recordings.
