Disco Ensemble was formed in 1996 in Pori, Finland. For many years the band has been in the basements and underground-venues, writing songs and playing shows that would have put any band in the limelight to shame. From periods ranging from progressive hardcore to more accessible punk rock, childhood friends Mikko (drums) and Jussi (guitar), bassist Lasse and vocalist Miikka have been Finland's best kept secret for too long.

His influences come strongly from Dntel, Sylvain Chaveau, Styrofoam, and most of all his own life. When he first began Rain or Shine the entire music scene in his hometown was obsessed with screaming vocals and “breakdowns.” So he created something entirely different and tried to expose the scene around him to alternative sounds and music. He composes his music several different ways.
