HK119
HK 119 is a powerful Nordic force resolved to shatter any illusions you may have about your comfortable post-millennial society. This beautiful blonde creature, at once Amazonian and eerily robotic, is the creation of Finnish artist Heidi Kilpelainen. Her dystopian vision of the world takes elements of the modern human condition and pushes them to the extreme, where people have sacrificed their humanity for consumerism, and technology pervades every detail of our lives.

Brother Firetribe
Brother Firetribe is an Album Oriented Rock (AOR) band formed in 2002 in Finland. They describe their music as easy going rock. The band was originally called False Metal, but they changed their name to Brother Firetribe; however, the album is called ‘False Metal’. They take their name from an in-joke as a perfect description for their music is ‘tennis heavy’ and the name of a well known Finnish tennis player Veli Paloheimo translates into English as ‘Brother Firetribe’. The album title ‘False Metal’ comes from a slogan coined by heavy metal group Manowar, ‘Death to False Metal’.

Nomic
Kimon Kukulis, who moved to finland from Greece in 1991, became interested in electronic music when he was still rather young. He started producing his first tracks around 1997, producing different varieties of break-pop until he heard mixtapes made by DJ Neon. After a few changes he found 'his own thing' and started using the artist name Nomic. His style became what he has always loved most in music. Nomic's music is easiest to recognize from the energy, melancholic melodies and powerful crescendos.
