Vladislav Delay, Uusitalo, Luomo, Sistol. Under a raft of different names this Finnish artist (born 1976 as Sasu Ripatti) has experimented with ambient, broken beat, glitch as well as grooves and house music with soulful vocals. In addition he has collaborated with and worked for a wide range of artists ranging from Scissor Sisters and Craig Armstrong to AGF, Black Dice, Massive Attack, Towa Tei and Ryuichi Sakamoto. While his side-projects and remixes are there to flirt with more stable rhythms and dancefloor institutions, his main love as well as his background is in experimenting with different kind of sounds and rhythms; a quest to find some music not heard yet. The soundtrack of Vladislav Delay.

Here comes our June recap - its for all of you who might have missed some of the month's music over watching football or enjoying the perfect weather that surely must have existed someplace.
Outstanding albums have come from Jamie Jones, Guy Gerber, more...
Finding time alongside the Moritz Von Oswald Trio, Sasu Ripatti has a new album upcoming with this EP appearing in advance. Densely rhythmic with minimal structures yet intriguing sonic textures, ingeniously straddling synth-pop and C20th avant garde. An intense and truly stunning EP. Highly recommended.
