Pinku Vääty: Swedenshire

Rakkaus 08! Pinku Vääty returns with some really deep techno in Swedenshire, with some crunchy but beautiful chords, layered with vinyl cracklings that would make any trip hoper from back in the day blush, and all over a steady grooving beat.

This is followed by Tora Vinter's marvellous remix of Swedenshire. This is yet deeper, with some submarine sounds from deep down in the abyss, topped off with some serious acid action.

The last of the three is Popkonto, which could maybe be described as somewhat of a quirky homage to Milton Jackson's Cycles. It's uplifting, steady going, but has also got that special Pinku Vääty-something!

Enjoy!

Rakkaus06 - All That She Wants!

Now, the new Rakkaus Records release [Rakkaus06] is here! It's some original-as-ever Pinku Vääty music, but the lead track is something as unusual as eurogrime! It's a down and dirty version of Ace of Base's smash All That She Wants from back in the days, but this time performed with fuming vocal delivery by Paul Mac Innes.

Enjoy!

"Rum Away is an amazing club anthem!"

- C Rok, Motorcitysoul [Simple Recordings]

"Malted Away has got to be my favorite for the vintage drum sounds and amazing chopped pads"

- Christo, [Superficially Deep/Atjazz Record Co]

Today the new Pinku Vääty release SPIRITS AWAY EP is out! A hard hitting techno ep, that is guarateed to keep the summer night clubs and raves warm.

Below is a separate post with a Rakkaus Release player that (to the best of my knowledge) automatically updates with new things from the label as they emerge. Did you also know that you can always check in with www.soundcloud.com/rakkaus-records to see what's happening and have a listen to the full tracks in good quality, whenever new things drops? We usually also see to it, that some teasers get released there beforehand - sometimes snippets, and sometimes whole tracks.

Thought it would be a good idea to post a RAKKAUS RELEASE player, courtesy of Beatport, that automatically updates with the new things coming out on the label.

Enjoy!
