Profile:
Mika Vainio (born 15 May, 1963, Helsinki, Finland - died 12 April, 2017, France, aged 53) was a Finnish electronic musician, composer and producer.

He began his musical career playing electronics and drums as part of the early Finnish industrial and noise scene. In 1993, together with Ilpo Väisänen and Sami Salo, he founded the minimal electronic group Pan Sonic. Sami Salo left Pan Sonic in 1996 and the project continued as a duo until disbanding in 2009. Vainio then established a successful solo career, often collaborating with experimental French composer Franck Vigroux.

Left an incredible and undeniable print on electronic and minimal music. Goodbye and farewell - never to be forgotten.

Oh man, can't believe he's gone. Left behind: One vast, beautiful legacy and discography to lose ourselves in.

Mika was and will undoubtedly be the most important and influential figure in Finnish electronic music history for generations, either directly or indirectly influencing every single modern electronic musician in the country, not to mention many abroad. He kept on honing his craft until he died which is the very definition of admirable dedication. It is a very sad day to not only lose a cornerstone of Finnish music, but to also lose such a constant driving force in experimental music as a whole. Rest in peace.
