Nuspirit Helsinki

Real Name:
Tuomas Kallio, Hannu Nieminen, Kim Rantala, Toni Rantanen, Eppu Helle
Profile:
Nuspirit Helsinki is a multi talented Finnish collective of DJs, producers, and musicians that has ascended to the forefront of the burgeoning European Eclectic Electronic music scene on the straight of their peerless productions for Guidance Recordings, Jazzanova Compost Records (JCR) and Ubiquity Records.
The Group was conceived in 1998 by founding members Tuomas Kallio and Hannu Nieminen (a.k.a. DJ Ender) who enlisted a core group of Helsinki's finest musicians to develop a dynamic 21st century big band sound informed by a wealth of Jazz, Funk, Soul, Afro and Latin influences. Equally inspired by cutting edge Hip Hop, Nu Soul, Broken Beat, Two Step, House, and Drum and Bass, Nuspirit's musical mission is to fuse live organic instrumentation with electronic textures to produce soulful and sophisticated music that can be enjoyed on or off the dancefloor.
Nuspirit Helsinki are Tuomas Kallio, Hannu Nieminen (a.k.a. DJ Ender), Kim Rantala (a.k.a. Kasio), Toni Rantanen (a.k.a. DJ Lil' Tony) & Eppu Helle (a.k.a. DJ Eppu)
