Chillish electronica from Vaasa, Finland!
I like to compose electronic music on my spare time and this page includes results of those sessions. Just for fun with no real commercial needs!
The style of my music varies a lot inside the electronica genre. During the years i've released tracks at least in electronic, house, trance, chill out and ambient genres.

Why this name?
The name is my nickname which comes from my surname.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No i wouldn't. I prefer doing music just as a hobby because otherwise i would lose all the fun of making music.
Band History:
I have been making music since 1996-1997 when I got in touch with computer music in a form of Fast Tracker songs. Time has passed by and the methods of creating the music have been changed but I still make music just for fun. I don’t have any commercial need with my music and that’s why I don’t have to try to make my music sound something specific or categorized into some strict genre. I like to try different styles and moods. My music is usually quite melodic and ‘chillish’ because I like music that you can play when you wan to chill out. It’s really difficult to categorize my music because my songs usually have influences of house, trance, ambient and chillout music - electronic in general.
I was a member of a house music project called the modern // inhazers with another musician “spoiler” (aka. Andy State / Antti Haikola) and some of the songs by m//i were made by me. The m//i project has ended and we will propably never release anything under that name. Our old mp3 files are not available in the internet anymore so if you want to get some of them, please contact me.
I was also a member of a finnish demo music group Dct2 in the late 90’s. I made tracker songs for that group and some day i might put a zip package of those modules available here.

Your influences?
Everything with great melodic moods and good sound quality.
Even though I like almost all kinds of music there’s still the genres I like the most. First of all I think that electronic music in general is the closest to me. I also like many other styles from Jazz to Hard Rock. Some musical genres you might find by searching my Winamp Media Library are house, deep house, electronica, trance, ambient, nu-jazz, chillout, rock, hard rock, metal, hip hop and drum&bass.
