> Anyone know anything about the Finnish label Sahko? >:: Alan M. Parry Yes. A bit out of my head. I've got '0' .. the Metri CD, and 2 12" discs. Kvantti and Kohina. They kick ... weirdest kind of ambient/house/idm I've heard in a long time. 0 (pronounce 'eu') use a self-built noise generator. And it is just that. Electronic noise ... you can listen to it, and sometimes even dance to it. Must admit I don't listen to them all that often as I find them very unsettling at times. But hey. Tonight I'll get them out again. Weird radio sounds ... fascinating rhythms ... grinding buzz-noises. I'll get some more info when I get home tonight (as I'm at work now). They have brought out a serie of 12" 's ... eight, I believe. Apparently they are doing a repress. We've had great trouble getting our copies here in the Netherlands. Anyway, until I get some more info for you. Go out and listen!! greets of your fiets, Helen -------------------------------------------------------- e-mail bdaasp@pc-server1.dcmr.nl fido 2:283/101.9 helen@dcmr.nl moria 50:1000/107 --------------------------------------------------------

> Anyone know anything about the Finnish label Sahko? >:: Alan M. Parry I saw them live during the love parade at the Tresor. Even though Sahko is a label, the show I saw was only announced as Sahko. I must say the show was very dark and severe. How about hardcore ambient? It is the best qualification of the kind of music they served that night. The show was in the basement of the Tresor club, which has a feeling of being a bunker since it use to host the security boxes in a vault. The music played by Sahko was very loud, with strange beat patterns pounding into people's head and body. It was kind of weird after 2 days of happy love parading. In general, the music put out by the label is very interesting. It will outlast most of all the rest of the techno stuff that ages quite rapidly since it is quite timeless. Check out for a future Mike Ink release on Sahko, it should be quite interesting. Alain Mongeau Abducted

I've heard of them, I've even got something on that label, "Soon all of us will have special names" Can't remember the artist name. It's a 3 or 4 track EP and there was a remix pack too. I'll root it out tonight to see if there's any info on there for ya' J ^ James Skilton aka Steady J - jamess@firefox.co.uk
