Not to beat the non-musical angle of this into the ground - "vapaa" means
"free" and "muurari" means "mason" (as in "bricklayer") - the two together
actual do connote "freemason" in Finnish, so it's not an interlinguistic
pun.

i'm not sure what means what, but uusitalo seems to be a very common finnish
surname going by google searches. but then newhouse can also be an english
surname. the words vapaa and muurari also come up a lot, and mostly not in
relation to minimal, dubby, tech house or whatever.
its like he's called himself the smiths or something.
