Zutsuu|Teknoaidi

Another shamancore teaser from the upcoming Teknoaidi release:

Made a quick picture+video slideshow to accompany my atmospheric speedcore track “Forbidden Power”:

I might make similar ones for tracks discussing other topics as well.

I will be touring Russia in the first half of July with Dionnaki, Kid Corrupt and The Xenaxium. Dates and locations will be announced later. If there is an organizer from Russia reading this, who has not yet heard about this and would like to have us play in her/his city, be sure to contact! I can also be contacted in Vkontakte.

The other update concerns my upcoming Teknoaidi release “Hiiden Virren Vinguttajat”. The release has found a home at Chase Records. It will be set free when the autumn colors or “ruska” (for my Finnish speaking readers) come.

Exciting times!

EDIT: I also expanded the “useful” links idea and dedicated a page for it for those who are interested. I will share some videos, documentaries and links that are in some way related to the themes I discuss in my tracks.

Playing a dj set of industrial frenchcore, flashcore and whatnot at this party next week in Tampere underground:

I’m currently making a music video of the Teknoaidi track Ulddat. Been shooting some of the footage in the woods nearby with my girlfriend. It’s still about halfway done, but here you can check out some early screen captures:

Ulddat and 4 other tracks will be made into a release called Hiiden Virren Vinguttajat. The premasters of the release are nearing completion. It’s not yet decided where or when it will be released, but I will let you know when I have more news.

Enter the survey and read more details here.

My following gig is next week in Laterna where my friend is throwing his birthday party. Gabber Lobotomie, perhaps Tampere city’s first dedicated hardcore party, was hosted in the same venue back in 1995. This should be interesting

Here is the latest release from Finnish DIY hardcore collective Kovaydin Vastarinta’s ZUTSUU. Infused with a strong punk and tribal essence and conscious message, this album reflects the intensity of our era and truly captures the spirit behind the Splatterkore philosophy; hymns for the awakening and liberation of the so called doom-generation and anthems for the creation of the high-energy counter-civilisation.

“This album is dedicated to our times. These sounds came to life between 2008-2012. As I have been evolving so has the Zutsuu project been evolving, not only in sound, but also in perspective from fear and hate into hope and love. The order of the tracks is also intentionally progressing from old to new. For a long time I’ve been influenced by Finnish and international conscious and political rappers and the whole mashup culture in hip hop. I didn’t become a rapper myself and I figured I can express myself better in the art of hardcore techno. As these instrumental mashup tracks with a message started to pile up I thought the time was right to make a release. Hate, gloom and doomsday have been kind of a conditioned standard in hardcore, especially when it comes to the many 2012 related releases in recent years. With this release I wish to give a different perspective, a light of balance to the darkness by utilizing hardcore as a positive and creative energy. The future may not be as desperate as it seems! If you resonate with the sounds presented here, remember that sharing is caring!” – Zutsuu 2012

I have to post-pone the release date to 22nd, because there have been some delays, but basically the package is good to go. Just waiting for Splatterkore approval. Splatterkore usually makes releases during new moon and full moon, but it’s still ok since the new moon is between tuesday and wednesday.
Meanwhile you can listen to the track “Bankrupt Terra” from the release on my Soundcloud:
