Jori Hulkkonen
Real Name:
Jori Hulkkonen
Profile:
Jori Hulkkonen was born and raised in the small town of Kemi in Northern Finland. From the early '80s his musical influences were leaning towards all things electronic and slightly more eclectic than your average ten-year-old Scandinavian kid growing up in the middle of the Cold War.
In the late '80s Jori's musical passion started displaying itself when he discovered the slightly more abstract form of electronic music, namely Detroit techno, and house music.
While earlier influences included slightly more traditional pop music from Depeche Mode to Pet Shop Boys and from John Foxx to The Smiths, the new wave of American electronic club music pushed Jori towards experimenting with structures and textures that were far removed from those roots. Still, a lot of those early influences pushed through in his productions.

November 28, 2020Let me tell you something. If this Jori Hulkkonen - Half In The Bag EP had been released on 12" on some more known label or distributed more widely, everyone simply would've gone crazy about it. It finds Jori in his top form, it's damn worth to be put on 12" but I welcome the digital. Temporal Appropriation - what a bomb! quite unexpected stuff from Jori to be honest, especially background drum workouts. 7rd Planet is equally majestic, spacey stuff, in fact the whole EP has a strong "spacey" feel to it. Let's Rain -- lovely cosmic jazz track, changes in composition are so refreshing in this day and age , and especially in this genre of dance&house music -- it's not just the same hi-hat for 7 minutes so I salute Jori for that. I have always loved extended track lengths, Jori if you're reading this, please consider making more music in that manner! You're THE shit man!
