#Amuri Tekno

[phinnweb]

Amuri Tekno are Miika Salo and Miska Väänänen, hailing from Tampere, Finland. Their music is a homegrown blend of Detroit-inspired techno, tech-house, acid house, IDM, and ambient. They have released on such Finnish record labels as Kontact Records, Spin Records and Turun Levytehdas. They are both of the generation who was coming of age during the halcyon days of the early 1990s techno music and rave culture explosion which spread also to some more peripheral regions outside the obvious Detroit-London-Berlin axis, and furthermore, spawned such new musical genres as IDM and drum & bass. For some years now pHinnWeb has been a big fan of Amuri Tekno's music, so it was time to find out about their origins, ideas and views. For the interview, often accompanied by a hearty laughter, they share their insights not only about their own productions and instruments but also of being long-time music fans, discussing their favourite artists, labels and records, Tampere’s local scene and its history, and electronic music culture in general.

43 minutes. With English subtitles.

Amuri Tekno are two local guys, Miika Salo & Miska Väänänen. I am a big fan of their music, which could be called a homegrown blend of Detroit techno, acid, IDM and ambient techno.

From the 2020s musical perspective, their sound could also be called somewhat "retro" (if you are a fan of what labels like Warp, R&S, Planet E, Applied Rhytmic Technology, Rephlex or Peace Frog released in the 90s, you probably understand). Personally I'd just say it's timeless.

They now released a new EP on Bandcamp, called Unissakävelijä ("Sleepwalker", 22 July 2024). Tracks by Amuri Tekno can also be found from SoundCloud and YouTube.
